Fun facts: The Sayyad SD2C missile that shot down the state of the art Triton drone is the Iranian version of the US the RIM-66 Standard SM-1. Iran used to purchase from the US. Basically late 60s/early 70s tech rocket that homes in on electrical signals emitted by the target.
"The MQ-4 is one of the largest, most sophisticated, and most expensive drones in the U.S. arsenal" popularmechanics.com/military/aviat…
It's not like our finest soldiers and sailor don't study this stuff every day but a carrier group in a narrow channel 14 miles from Iran is the stupidest thing you can do militarily. Great visuals for Americans. Great targets for Iran and their proxies. rand.org/topics/asymmet…

After the attacks of 9/11, I was one of the few outsiders who had spent time with the Taliban, al Qaeda jihad cults and Afghan leaders. I did my best to separate the acts of leadership from the ideas held by the general population cnn.com/2001/COMMUNITY…
Just before Geraldo went off to Afghanistan I tried to calm down his jingoism and point out that America wouldn't win the war. Not because I didn't believe America couldn't topple the taliban but because we had no plan beyond the initial strike.
Even in 2009 I was pointing out in op eds that the traditional concept of winning was far beyond our grasp. That opinion was based on time with U.S., Afghan and Talib forces. nydailynews.com/news/politics/…

A war with Iran, started by the death of a robot killed by a missile and then pursued using only drones, robotic pack animals, cyber attacks and smart bombs and guided rockets would kinda be the military industrial complex's wet dream.
1980: The roots of the passive aggressive approach to Iran were formed by the disaster of Operation Eagle Claw The botched rescue was devastating to President Jimmy Carter and the image of a powerless America still resonates. jis-online.org/2017/07/31/app…
1993: The other catastrophic political event was Operation Gothic Serpent the decision to arrest Farrah Aideed in Mogadishu. This event blurred the actual success of the Marines support for the UN in opening up the port and relief deliveries into Somalia. piracyreport.com/index.php/post…

Brilliant EG points out:

BEFORE THE INAUGURATION: FBI, NSA, FinCen, DNI, & DOJ opened probes into possible covert Kremlin aid to Trump

In 2016 & 2017 Deutsche Bank Staff Saw Suspicious Activity in Trump & Kushner accts & prepped SARS & reported same to DB execs.
💰Washing💰

Deutsche Bank ignored staff concerns & failed to file the SARS with FINCEN, which reflects the bank’s lax approach to 💰💦 laws

Some of the transactions involved 💰 flowing back & forth w/ overseas entities or individuals, which bank employees considered suspicious
💰Washing💰

And said it was part of a pattern of the bank’s execs rejecting valid reports to protect relationships with lucrative clients.

Trump Org currently has “no operating accounts with DB.” She did not respond when asked if other Trump entities had accounts.

THE BRITISH BRAINWASHING CORPORATION

On Ukraine, Syria, Russia & now on Venezuela the @BBC continues to be partial in its reporting on all channels of communication television, radio & online. It will claim constant impartiality. However as we shall see, this is a blatant lie.
THE BRITISH BRAINWASHING CORPORATION

On Ukraine, those who followed events there closely from the Winter of 2013-14 until present day will have noticed what characterizes the coverage of the @BBC. We followed day to day events there scrupulously & checked if the BBC also did.
THE BRITISH BRAINWASHING CORPORATION

There are huge gaps in the record of events in Ukraine during the crisis which extended from late 2013 to now. Enormous gaps that can only serve the purpose of misguiding any viewers, listeners or readers who access the @BBC as a news source.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

What the hell is happening between #Hungary and #Ukraine, why are diplomatic tensions rising dramatically?

Thread for CEE&Hungary watchers, and for journalists covering the topic!

bbc.com/news/world-eur…
It all started last year with Ukraine’s new education law requiring more Ukrainian language education for minorities who previously had much bigger autonomy. This ‘reform’ is a tool of Ukrainian nation-building&was primarily aimed at restricting Russian language education.
Collateral damage occurred as Polish, Romanian&Hungarian minorities were affected as well. Poland&Romania managed to solve the situation with Ukraine through negotiations but Hungary went berserk instead. Here’s a very good summary in English by @OSW_eng:
