So many experts saying Trump was wrong to think he could take down Iran using only air attacks…but now that he has acquiesced and dwcided to commit ground troops they are saying that won’t work either. I don’t understand

Jared Kushner is "negotiating" in the Middle East while also soliciting donations for his investment fund from the very governments he is "negotiating" with $1 billion so far How is that not illegal?

@DropSiteNews Wow. Bravo to mr. Carlson. I’m the opposite of a big fan of his but he has really shown courage by speaking out on the Gaza issue. I kinda hate the guy but he’s braver than i am, by far.

Economist Editor-in-Chief: Clearly you and I agree, and we’ve both been critical of the Israeli government. Tucker Carlson: Well, I’ve been critical of the Israeli government. The Economist: I’ve been plenty critical. Tucker Carlson: What do you think of what happened in Gaza?

@DropSiteNews Come on. It can’t be that bad can it? Look at what the Palestinians are subjected to and you don’t see them pissing and moaning about a little lost sleep

⭕️ Israeli analyst: “My Whatsapp groups are filled with people having breakdowns after not sleeping for two weeks. In Jerusalem 4 alerts were heard in a 90 minute span. Iran has been able to increase the number of launches daily. Everyone seems angry at the IDF and Netanyahu for lying about the destruction of Iranian capabilities.”

Israel has been pummeled all night. Based on my counts of alerts and reports of landings from open sources the number increased tonight, though there are no reports of casualties. My Whatsapp groups are filled with people having breakdowns after not sleeping for two weeks. In Jerusalem 4 alerts were heard in a 90 minute span. Iran has been able to increase the number of launches daily. Everyone seems angry at the IDF and Netanyahu for lying about the destruction of Iranian capabilities.

The current plan is to strike and weaken Iran's forces for a month, then seize or blockade Kharg Island to force Iran into talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and surrender. This is a terrible idea with zero chance of working: 1) That "month of degrading" is a month of continued global economic damage from the closed strait. Then talks will mean more time for the global economy to feel pain. That works in Iran's favor. It plays into their hands. 2) It doesn't actually work. Iran can just shut off oil production; holding the island doesn't force them to reopen anything. 3) The shooting ducks problem. Occupying an island 15 miles off the Iranian coast puts soldiers in an extremely exposed position 4) Why would Iran negotiate? If you've already bombed their island and seized it, what's their incentive to negotiate rather than escalate? They are already in crisis. Their best weapon is to put the US in crisis too. There is no clear mechanism by which holding Kharg Island translates to a peace deal on US terms. 5) Mission creep. Once you put troops on Iranian soil, even a small island, you've crossed a threshold that's very hard to walk back. Iran has to respond or look completely defeated domestically. Then the US has to respond to that response. And suddenly you're in a ground war with Iran that nobody voted for and nobody has a plan to end. The American plan is as bad as it could be. It will take an awful situation and make it worse. The best thing the US can do is cut its losses and declare victory.

Listen up to those who think Trump is TACOing on Iran: 1. More U.S. Navy warships are headed to the Persian Gulf 2. Thousands more U.S. Marines are being activated 3. The Pentagon is demanding $200B more for the Iran War None of these things suggests a Trump TACO. Think.

Scott Shay of $SBNY being part of the Epstein Class is one of the least surprising things ever, given that Shay never found a crypto criminal he wouldn't bank at Signature Bank of New York. Why wouldn't he be doing business with Jeffrey Epstein? They ran in the same circles.
⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯@Cryptadamist

so uh, is the #ScottShay calling Epstein w/investment ideas the same Scott Shay would go on to become the CEO of American's largest crypto bank¹ Signature Bank / $SBNY? @crypto1nfern0 @ParrotCapital ¹ it failed, at which point it became one of America's 5 largest bank failures
