@OrevaZSN @shadrac_matata Most lawyers were mostly B, B+ or weak A- students. Don’t call them academically gifted.

Kids who grew up academically gifted are now anxious adults with thousands of abandoned hobbies who fall into self hate whenever they make basic mistakes, or they’re doctors or lawyers. There’s no in between.

@Otvadzaglaviata @ArmchairW @grok how much copium is safe for one human adult of average weight to consume per day?

So let me get this straight. In March, the Pentagon briefs Trump on “the mother of all commando raids” — a multi-week operation with thousands of troops, heavy excavation gear, and the construction of an actual runway just to haul out 450 kg of enriched uranium from underground tunnels near Isfahan. Then an F-15E gets shot down. Suddenly some genius looks at the map and says: “Perfect! Let’s shrink the entire plan by 90%, replace the thousands of troops and bulldozers with 100 operators and four Little Birds, and use the search for one downed aviator as brilliant cover." Because obviously, when you flood the area with MC-130s, refueling tankers, low-flying Hercules, and special forces looking for a pilot, the Iranians will think “Oh, they’re just doing a rescue… better leave the uranium lightly guarded tonight.” Brilliant. Truly Oscar-worthy operational art. You take the most complex, high-risk plan ever briefed — one that explicitly required weeks on the ground and heavy equipment — and turn it into a same-night smash-and-grab with tiny helicopters that couldn’t lift even one 1.3-tonne uranium cylinder.... if the dust is stored in a single container, that is. As for the claim that 100 operators plus two MC-130s deep inside Iran is “way too much” for rescuing one aviator — that’s also nonsense. The US military has a long, expensive tradition of throwing overwhelming force at personnel recovery when the pilot is alive and behind enemy lines. In hostile territory 200+ miles deep, with IRGC actively hunting the airman and offering rewards for his capture, you don’t send two guys and a prayer. You send a robust package — multiple transport aircraft, special operations helicopters, refuelers, combat search aircraft, and a company-sized element of operators — precisely because the risk is extremely high. One downed pilot can become a major propaganda win for the enemy, so the doctrine is to go big and go heavy to bring him back alive. 100 operators and a few MC-130s is large, but entirely within the realm of a high-risk CSAR mission in denied territory. It is nowhere near the scale of the multi-week, thousands-of-troops uranium raid that was actually briefed. In the end, this theory is nothing more than an attempt to manufacture a big American failure. The successful rescue of the colonel became a significant morale booster for both the military and the public, and the loss of 300–400 million dollars in hardware wasn’t enough to tarnish that success. So now people are desperately reaching for every ridiculous conspiracy to reframe the entire operation as a humiliating US defeat.

In making sense of a complex event, it's often best to start with the facts and then work backwards from there. So what are we to make of this weekend in Iran? My theory is we just saw an attempt to seize Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium unravel. Down the rabbit hole.⬇️ Let's run through the timeline and the location of key events first: The evening of April 2nd, the Iranian military released a video of them shooting down a USAF aircraft. This was initially claimed as having occurred over the Persian Gulf, but apparently occurred near Isfahan. Wreckage corresponding to an F-15E of the 494th Tactical Fighter Squadron was recovered from a site south of Isfahan the morning of April 3rd, although geolocation of the very barren crash site took some time (fig. 1). The afternoon of April 3rd, a number of USAF HH-60s and an HC-130 fueler (!) were spotted operating further south and west in Iran, over Kogiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, as well as at least one A-10, an MQ-9 Reaper, and apparently an F-35. An antiaircraft battle developed and the Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) HH-60s (fig.2) and an A-10 were damaged, with the A-10's pilot ejecting over the Persian Gulf. The HH-60s were reported as "damaged" and one was photographed trailing smoke. Reports emerged at that time that the pilot of the F-15E (which had crashed near Isfahan, although this was then-unclear!) had been rescued, while the WSO remained at large. Provincial authorities in Kohgiluyeh asked civilians to be on the lookout for an American aviator around this time and numerous photos of militia searching for him emerged. The next day passed relatively uneventfully. The evening of April 4th, however, there was a report of more helicopter activity slightly further north, in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, accompanied by a washed-out photograph of an unknown helicopter flying very low on a very dark night (fig. 3). Later that night news emerged that the F-15Es WSO had been rescued... and that C-130s had been abandoned and scuttled at a forward base in the Isfahan area during the withdrawal of a company-size SOF force that had landed in the area, over 100 operators ostensibly having been sent to rescue one aviator. Photographs that emerged as dawn broke showed two burned-out C-130s and several destroyed MH-6 Little Bird SOF assault helicopters, in a scene reminiscent of the aftermath of Operation Eagle Claw (fig. 4). A USAF C-295 tactical transport was caught on video around that time flying in Iran - presumably outbound - at extremely low altitude. So, what are we to make of this? First and foremost, the official story - that a huge direct-action SOF force landed near Isfahan with assault helicopters and heavy transport aircraft to rescue one fugitive airman - is nonsense. Not because the USAF won't go to extreme lengths to recover isolated personnel - it can, will, and did in this case - but because that's an absolutely nonsensical way to accomplish that mission. It's a totally inappropriate force package for a mission to go in, extract a single person from a remote area, and leave. Ergo this SOF task force was there on other business. So how were the pilots actually recovered? In all likelihood, exactly the way you would expect them to be recovered - by USAF PJs in long-range helicopters, under cover of darkness. The rescue force probably recovered the pilot from the Isfahan area late at night on April 2-3 and were caught in daylight as they exfiltrated, leading to the aforementioned antiaircraft battle the morning of April 3rd and a high-risk refueling over Iranian territory that was filmed by many Iranians on the ground, as well as a shot-down A-10 trying to clear a path for the helicopters to exfiltrate. The WSO was likely recovered from his hide site near Isfahan by HH-60 in a quiet and deliberate operation the night of April 4-5. One or two birds, in and out under cover of darkness - a far cry from the gung-ho stories currently being spun. So what about the SOF rodeo happening at the same time? Well, why was an F-15 flying downtown to Isfahan the evening of April 2nd to begin with? Probably because there was a huge direct-action raid planned in the Isfahan area for the night of April 4-5, likely going after enriched uranium at an underground facility in the region, and the Iranian air defenses around Isfahan weren't going to suppress themselves. The plan was likely to fly several MH-6 assault birds and a sizable force of operators via C-130 and C-295 to a forward staging area near Isfahan the evening of April 4th, hit a reported cache site or sites for enriched uranium, and try to make it out with the magic dust by daybreak on April 5th. In any event the USAF wasn't going to send transports somewhere it wouldn't send strike aircraft. So the Air Force cashed its check on claims of air superiority and in went the strike package the evening of April 2nd - and lo and behold one of the F-15Es went down because reports of the demise of the Iranian air defense network had been greatly exaggerated. Any rational planner would have scrubbed the SOF operation at this point because they'd lost control of the situation and the Iranian defenses had proven more effective than planned. We went ahead anyways and inserted the SOF task force the evening of April 4th. I strongly suspect that this force was immediately discovered by Iranian drones that would have been up and searching for this WSO, because five transport aircraft including at least two C-130s (about what would be required for a bunch of Little Birds and a company-sized element of operators with equipment) landing at a desert airstrip 50km from Isfahan (and in the same general area where the WSO was taking cover) would be pretty God-damn obvious to anything with thermals. Iranian troops immediately deployed and began converging, the task force probably took indirect fire, and the operational commander immediately aborted mission and retreated in the three remaining operational aircraft. Scuttling charges on delayed fuzes burned two C-130s and an unknown number of MH-6s that had been abandoned at the airstrip around dawn. The story that they were there to rescue the WSO was concocted at that time to cover the disastrously failed raid, as were logistically implausible claims that the task force had been rescued by three additional aircraft after the two C-130s got stuck on the LZ and were scuttled - perhaps to minimize the scale of the effort. Claims that a large battle took place appear to be similarly exaggerated - video has emerged of a single group of Iranian militia apparently killed in a drone strike, but nothing of the nonstop bombing and firefights that were rumored across Telegram all night. I remind the reader that the events of the last few days have proven quite conclusively that Iranians seem to have plenty of internet access to post photos and video when they actually have something worthwhile to film. I'd like to note that Hegseth fired General George - US Army Chief of Staff - on April 2nd, apparently because he just wasn't a good fit for the job and definitely not because he'd told him that this whole scheme was insane. It seems to me that the good General's advice should have perhaps been heeded.

@MarkFra55637325 @thesiriusreport Eat more shit, Mark. I also understand that, and I’m not disputing it. Like I said, read to understand, not reply.

@Tomk4at @thesiriusreport I understand now and have understood for a long time who is evil AND IT'S NOT IRAN. Clueless fuck.

Few understand that Iran has persistent surveillance meaning they can see everything that is going on inside Iran and within a 1000 miles radius around their nation. The Iranians are also quite literally capable of hearing everything that is being said, utilising Russian and Chinese satellite technology.

@MarkFra55637325 Eat shit, Mark. Read to understand, not to reply.

@Tomk4at @thesiriusreport It'll be interesting to see what you say after Iran thoroughly trashes Israfuckinghell and the US. Clueless fuck.

@thesiriusreport Ok 👍🏾

@Tomk4at Whether you believe in reality or not, is not my problem. They have that capability.

@sx200ii @thesiriusreport Their leader was killed. If their intelligence was that good we expect it to take longer for this to happen.

@Tomk4at @thesiriusreport How did the first 24 hours 'prove it'?

@grok @kingndanorff @RT_com 😅 backfired on you

Confirmed: US officials and NYT reporting confirm an A-10 Warthog crashed near the Strait of Hormuz today, with its pilot safely rescued. Officials gave no cause and did not say it was shot down—unlike the F-15E, which was explicitly shot down over Iran (one crew rescued, search ongoing for the second). RT's "both hit" claim lacks backing from US sources.

@BladeoftheS Because it's not for occupation. It's to fight and eliminate hezbollah. Israel in the past has always retreated and returned land they captured during conflicts. But sit this one out. I don't think your last two brain cells will allow you to understand this.

Israel now occupies more of Lebanon than Russia occupies of Ukraine. But of course that's a 'good' invasion. So there is silence.

@kahome_steve Smart ones are using the new liquidity to exit. Hard to believe The NSE has suddenly become clever.

2023 provided the best ever entry positions for stocks in the NSE The NSE All Share Index had shed -27% in 2023 and -23% in 2022 and had been ranked as the worst performing bourse in the world. Most stocks hit historic lows. Safaricom traded at 12 bob, KCB hit a low of 23 bob and KPLC was trading at 2bob Three years later the NSE All share index has recorded historic growth and hit new all time highs KCB is now trading at 75 bob, Safcom at 34 bob and KPLC at 19 bob Moments like these come rarely in history but this was one of the best buying opportunities for counters in the NSE As new investors enjoy the thrill of Ziidi Trader, older investors who rode the storm of 2022-2023 are reaping big as their portfolios record historic gains and record growth.
