This is just the take-down of another high profile terrorist in the continuing war on terror. If only they could handle the domestic enemies in the same fashion.

9m למקרה שאתם רוצים להיזכר מה היתה האסטרטגיה הגאונית של הנשיא הקודם, אובמה, בנושא איראן. זה מנאום קהיר, שכבר אז הוא הבטיח לאיראן שהוא ייתן לה לפתח תעשיית גרעין לא-צבאית (כאילו שאפשר להבטיח שהיא תישאר כזאת)..translated....9m In case you want to remember what the previous President Obama's ingenious strategy on Iran was about. It's a Cairo speech, which already promised Iran that it would develop a non-military nuclear industry (as if it could be guaranteed that it would stay that way).

It seems relevant to me too, beyond the argument between me and Zion. So here it is. Hanson. You should always read it. He was too right in the past to be ignored.

Trans...And if you want to understand Trump, you should stop listening to the philanthropist and his mother-in-law and read people who understand it. For example, Victor Davis Hanson, who is a renowned historian, and a senior right-wing commentator who also wrote a fascinating book about Trump.

Interesting take on Iran

NIKK..we've been following this amazing President before he was President Trump. SO..listen to someone outside trying to explain our President. AND as I say...really listen......uncertainty/surprise/strength/logic/a giant/flexable/holds cards close to his chest/UNDERESTIMATED.

These qualities are why President Trump is a GREAT LEADER!."What I'll do differently is..no one will know what my moves are..its why we've always failed in the past stupidly telling our moves."...something to this quote.

Daniel Junior

לטראמפ ישנה משנה סדורה. זו המיינסטרים מדיה שמסלפת את העובדות. הוא מעולם לא עזב את המזרח התיכון, גם אם שיפר עמדות בסוריה. ממזרח לאיראן הכוחות מדוללים יותר נכון להיום, יחד עם זאת מדובר בטבעת חנק, עם גמישות מבצעית שאין ספק מדברת בעד עצמה. קרי, הרתעה.

Trump has a regular sub. This is mainstream media that distorts the facts. He never left the Middle East, even if he improved his positions in Syria. To the east of Iran, the forces are being diluted as of today, but at the same time it is a choking ring, with operational flexibility that is unquestionably speaking for itself.

Kerry, a deterrent.

*********************************************

The doctrine "Trump has no policy just capriciousness" is considerably fact-free. But he has a policy, or so it seems until now. A brief explanation for those who have difficulty:

1. He does not want to complicate the US with unnecessary wars in the Middle East.

2. He will roll back the Obama-centered Obama alliance with Iran.

1 + 2 = economic sanctions on >>

Iran is growing.

3. Iran understands this policy and assumes it can step up the challenge, especially in an election year. Abolishes UAV, hits Saudis, attacks oil tankers.

4. When she crosses a red line, results in the death of an American citizen, and an American embassy attacker decides Trump needs to be tattooed >>

Their assumption that he would not dare go to war according to his stated policy, and especially not in an election year. and hence,

5. He makes a vital move according to his logic, to undermine the assumption on which to base the elephant and assume that he will remain silent.

As is the way he makes the move in the giant, and breathtaking, and based on >>

The correct assumption that the Iranians are weak in some order of magnitude, and that they should keep in mind that the restrictions he puts on himself can be violated if he needs to.

So far it sounds totally rational to me, including the section where he plays the crazy, which is a perfectly sensible thing to do in cases

Thank you for all your humor. It really helps me search through the swamp twitter world. Take care.

[STARLIT]

Very good find Tweety..please be open to me posting it for ALL to read. Thanks for this take....a GEM!

1- Those who have been following me for awhile would recall my tweets about attacks on oil tankers and Saudi oil facilities in which I argued that rogue elements in the Iranian regime do not want any hint of negotiations between the US and Iran,

2- hence the attack on Japanese and Japan bound tankers while the Japanese prime minister was visiting Tehran to mediate between Iran and the US. The attacks on Abqaiq and others were intended to make sure that negotiations will not happen.

3- at the same time, it is the same group that is derailing settlement in Yemen? is it possible that this group has been identified by all sides, and therefore is being eliminated, one by one?

In a sense, the US is doing the Iranian people a favor if this leads to negotiations?

Iraqi Hez tells Iraqi forces to leave US bases.
3 Rockets fired at Green Zone.
PMF base struck by US.

“Well, that escaleted quickly”

[jennychase]

Trump broke the rules with the strike on Qasem Soleimani.

- He set a precedent that might end up making a member of the American ruling class a target of the Iranians and other terrorists.

Subject: Out of town travel pool report #1

Good morning from sunny Palm Beach. I’ll be your print pooler today.

The motorcade is rolling from Mar-a-Lago at 9:47 a.m. to an undisclosed location. Updates to follow.

[jennychase]

Subject: Out of town pool report #2: Golf arrival

Motorcade arrived at Trump International Golf Club at 9:56 a.m.. Your pooler could not spot POTUS.

Pool vans peeled off at the golf club entrance and we are now holding at the library across the street.

Just outside Mar-a-Lago, about a dozen demonstrators were gathered to express opposition to restrictions on e-cigarette flavors. They held signs that read “Unicorn Vomit is Harmless” and “PMTA Will Kill Small Businesses,” references to a vape flavor and an FDA rule, respectively.

#QasemSoleimani was targeted by hunter-killer drone that took off from Qatar.

Who is in #Iran today? Qatar foreign minister.

Samir

BD...Il y a toute la gamme à Al udeid..Translated...There is the whole range at Al udeid

Samir

nope. there's everything but drones.

Quentin de Pimodan

if that is true, regarding the origin, it is only natural the FM tries to talk with Iranians in order to calm down their eventual furor toward Qatar no?After all that's his job as it is KSA authorities' job to issue a statement calling for restraint to protect their interests no?

Rasheed Abou-Alsamh ... · 5h Yes

Hussein Ibish .... But in fairness, it’s good that they are speaking to Tehran and Washington simultaneously.

Ali Adbullah....source?

Reza Khaasteh

The first round of talks btw @JZarif and the Qatari FM was held in Tehran. The second round is to be held behind closed doors. There are reports that the Qatari FM is here to explain about possible use of US base in Qatar for operation against #Soleimani

Twitter is having a discussion on where the Drone took off.

[hoosiermama]

We could hear the planes yesterday and early this morning (as well as through the night). Sky was overcast so we couldn’t see anything.

If the two in tandem refueling the YUGE cargo plane that I saw years ago, was any indication of what’s going on there are many cargo plane coming from some distance away. .... troops, ammo, bombs. Just know within a week 10 days after we hear them some one gets the Shiite bombed out of them.
