New: FBI's Kash Patel could declassify some evidence in the investigating of Joe Kent for allegedly leaking classified info to media figures including Tucker Carlson, fearing the probe could look like retaliation. @NOTUSreports w/@Jose_Pagliery notus.org/trump-white-ho…


We currently have three key objectives in our conflict with Iran right now: 1. Dismantle Iran's ballistic missile, launcher and drone manufacturing capabilities. 2. Finish off any remaining efforts by the Iranians to rebuild their nuclear program. 3. Eliminate/Degrade Iran's senior leadership along with its internal security forces and naval assets to both assist dissident elements within the country and to prevent the Iranians from holding the world economy hostage via strait closure. None of what I just stated requires boots on the ground to achieve. (and we have already made a great deal of progress on all three) Anyone telling you it does is either lying to you or doesn't know or understand what the hell they are talking about. Regime change if it happens will come from the inside, but it has been made clear that is not the sole objective by the admin multiple times already. Whether the regime stays or goes means little if the nation's capacity to project any power beyond its own borders has been neutralized.




No longer going to try giving Tuck the benefit of doubt. It’s one thing to get hysterical in your online bubble. But now he’s dancing for the media- in particular the terminally antiTrump Economist. Everything is pointing to him being totally untrustworthy and a turncoat. He knows better that this will not reform MAGA or something. It’s a hit against Trump and his voters. And it’s not some isolated, organic thing. It’s obviously a very coordinated op. I’m open to updating that analysis, but it seems increasingly obvious.








I think the world of Balaji intellectually and if you were to ask me which four humans do i look up to aspirationally from an intellect standpoint it would be Balaji, Thiel, Andreessen and Ilya. That said I completely disagree with Balaji here because while he (as usual) comes armed with lots of relevant datapoints he is missing the forest from the trees. If you start with the premise that the ask from Canada is to lock out China then you’ll see why the current adversarial approach was the only viable approach. And when you see what the admin is trying to accomplish vs China you can understand why the death of the dollar is far from certain and entirely contingent on how successful the admin is at securing hegemony at the end of all this. (Medium to long term obviously, re the dollar, before @SantiagoAuFund comes for my scalp)

Qatar’s Prime Minister: This war needs to stop immediately. The aggression needs to stop immediately. Because everyone knows who the main beneficiary of this war is, and dragging the whole region into this conflict is.


NOW - Hegseth confirms the Pentagon is seeking about $200,000,000,000 billion for the Iran War: "It takes money to kill bad guys."
