Agreed. Thomas Wictor is very good and makes a compelling argument for a fuel air explosion in this recent incident.

Who’s Bombing Syria? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Desmond Dekker and Leslie Kong know who:

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor, poor me, Israelites. Aah

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me, the Israelite

My wife and my kids, they packed up and leave me
Darling, she said, “I was yours to be seen”
Poor me, the Israelite

Shirt them a-tear up, trousers are gone
I don’t want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
Poor me, the Israelite

After a storm there must be a calm
They catch me in the farm
You sound your alarm
Poor a-poor a-poor me, the Israelite

I said I get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me, Israelite. Aah

I said my wife and my kids, they are packed up and leave me
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen
Poor me, Israelites. Aah

Look Me shirts them a-tear up, trousers are gone
I don’t want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
A-poor a-poor me, Israelites. Aah

After a storm there must be a calm
They catch me in the farm
You sound your alarm
Poor me, Israelite
A-poor a-poor a-poor me, Israelites. Aah
Poor me, Israelite
Poor me, Israelite

I agree, @ThomasWictor provides highly accurate on the ground information on events in Syria, including photos of damage like the Saudi/Israeli raid on air base T4

In a nutshell, Wictor’s overall conclusion is that President Trump has been backing the U.S. military off and this is allowing the Saudis, the Israelis and the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) to settle affairs in that region.

...

That makes sense based on what I’ve heard Trump say in the past. He wants regional powers to handle problems in their region rather than the United States.

or allowing us to hear what they’re doing in Syria.


You mean they are not talking in the clear? Woopdedo. Russians talking in the clear is the anomaly.

Or you mean that we will be severely punished if we are caught listening in? Or do they have some ultra secret form of communications deployed? Quantum enciphered speech?

Probably was Israeli as the Iranians have been in the process of upgrading missiles and guidance systems stockpiled in Syria scheduled for transhipment to Hezbollah or use by al-Qods under Iranian Gen. Suleimani in preparation for a massive attack on the Israeli Golan. The troops killed would have been specialists doing the upgrades.

Great cast, fun story, very low amount of the usual Hollywood fake-antiwar posturing.

Trump should say, on the “hotline” to Putin: You know Vlad, the Mullahs in Tehran are drawing you into their war, and that won’t be good for you. They are not in Syria to defend Syria, but to attack Israel, at some point. You do not want to be part of that. It will not go well for you.

Yep. The Iranians wanted in Syria to get to Israel. If they were to damage Israel with their more advanced weapons, it would really increase their gravitas in the Arab world. Everyone knows Hezbollah doesn’t have cruise missiles or advanced rockets. They can barely work an AK. Most of the people using MANPADS are actually foreigners.

>>Citing an unnamed military source,<<

Impossible. There’s no such thing as an “unnamed military source”.

“The Iranians wanted in Syria to get to Israel.”

Unfortunately for Iran, getting close enough to get Israel, means that they are close enough for Israel to get them. Indeed, it makes it necessary for Israel to get them.

I am guessing that the Iranian regime is in for a rude awakening this Summer. They have accumulated some some rich and powerful enemies.

One thing you can say about Israelis, they usually hit what they aim at as they hate doing it twice.
