‘It is in this charged environment that a narrative has emerged claiming that Saudi Arabia has “pivoted away from moderation,” “abandoned peace,” and begun embracing extremism – or even indulging antisemitism. None of these accusations withstands serious scrutiny’. https://t.co/0Bp19e0icd by Michel Ratney and Bernard Haykel
15 years ago today was my first day in combat. It also marks the sacrifice of Lance Cpl. Charles Seth Sharp, who was a member of my infantry unit (Echo Company 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines) during Op. Khanjar - @MartinSmithDocs of @frontlinepbs was embedded with us. Miss you, Seth
Israel will never admit it, but I am confident that so many of the successes Israel has had vs. the Iranian axis is not due to Israeli genius but due to the stupidity of the men who make up the rank-and-file and commanders of these militias & Iranian regime.
Having spent 903 days in the captivity of an Iraqi militia servicing Iran, I can tell you that I've never met more ignorant people in my life. Commanders who think tracking devices can be planted in teeth, but don't know white [non-silver] fillings exist. Commanders who think Masons rule the world. Senior commanders who are literally illiterate. An Iranian commander who thinks there is such a thing as spoken vs. written Hebrew (diglossia).
What a travesty that Iraqis, Yemenis, Gazans, Iranians and Lebanese are subject to the rule of these brutal ignoramuses.
