If the reports are accurate we're too late to save the protestors (of course we're all flying blind here)

What's the point of a war at this point?

I don’t think it is accurate to call it “war” is US removes the ayatollah

What you meant to say was, “Netanyahu told President Trump to attack Iran.”

If this report is true, the most upsetting part of it to me is that Israeli intelligence not only has infiltrated the most confidential levels of the Pentagon but the Israelis believe they have a right to divulge those secrets to the press.

Correct. And they don't feel as if there will be any consequences at all.

The only plausible positive scenario here is that this is a coordinated effort between the U.S. and Israel to deceive people.

No. But apparently the protests have been quelled.

It’s not that’s why Venezuela was a success. Just like there’s no reason for approval from Congress because they’re the leakers. It’s almost like you guys don’t pay attention.

Jesus dude, we had a chairman of the Joint Chiefs call the Chinese, remember? Countries are going to do whatever is in their best interests in foreign affairs, including us.

The move to alert the CCP would have taken place via a secret backchannel set up by Milley and not sanctioned by the White House. For those who want to quibble with the term treason being used, here’s the legal definition of the act under 18 USC Ch. 115.

§2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Oh wow what a leap.

Their own assessment tells them they’ll tell the US to do that for them.

Control the language
Control the narrative

quote:

In military terms, a broad campaign refers to a large-scale, long-duration, and complex strategic effort that links together a series of related, major operations and battles to achieve a significant, long-term strategic goal within a specific theater of operations. Unlike a single "battle" (an engagement between forces) or a limited "operation" (a tactical action), a broad campaign represents a comprehensive, multi-phase plan, often involving combined arms (land, air, sea, cyber, and space forces) to dominate a large geographic area, such as the "Pacific Campaign" of WWII.

It's a little late. But even if we did, what happens if the bombing campaign does kill the Atatollah and a few other mullahs? Do we in the West have any legit partners in this game. 80 million people in revolt without a real leader of the opposition is no good for anyone including the Israelis.
