Thanks for the ping, do we have a date for the foiled attack?

Heads up to all, these guys don't attack less than two targets at once.

If UK's at orange, then in my mind we are too, whether DHS agrees or not.

This all comes down to one guy.

The first steps of endgame are now beginning.

He cannot hide behind...well anything...for very much longer.

He may be out of reach, but his ability to make war isn't.

I think we're going to see major cards getting flipped over regularly and sequentially until this plays out, for better or worse.

Brinksmanship is giving way to steel on target, perhaps within days or even hours.

US pressure prompts delay of offensive

"The troops were already rolling late Wednesday when they were ordered to halt. It appears heavy US pressure delayed the offensive to allow diplomacy to run its course. A senior minister said Wednesday that Israel might delay the expansion for 2-3 days for that purpose."
