If the infrastructure is not taken out and the money is not taken away why should Iran come to the peace table. They are taunting us with $200 oil. They do not have the cards; our military must be unleashed. Time to do what we did to Hanoi...to get them to the table

If you log on just to torch people in public, don't be surprised when someone eventually connects the handle to the human. A pseudonym isn't a pass for being an asshole in public everyday. If the mask of anonymity slips or gets ripped off your face, I'm not reaching for a tissue. PS: This applies no matter what your politics are

I wrote in January that Ethiopia's entry into the Sudanese civil war would be disastrous for Sudan and the entire Horn. Red Sea dynamics are integral here, with the UAE setting up this base for the RSF, and Saudi Arabia in talks to facilitate a major arms transfer for the SAF. With Ethiopia also gearing up for war with SAF-allied Eritrea and Tigray, we're looking at a regional war. Again, the Red Sea dynamics are present in this looming regional war. Egypt is allied with Eritrea and the SAF against Ethiopia, and is pushing for Saudi Arabia to grow closer to Eritrea. The UAE and Israel are both close partners of Ethiopia. More below ⬇️🧵
