If you accept that US overall strategy is one of denial, denying rivals regional hegemony, then it is clear what the US is doing in Iran: denying it regional hegemony through nukes, missiles, proxies. I accept this as the strategy in Iran.

@BohuslavskaKate Over the past decades the US seized Afghanistan, Iraq, captured Venezuela’s President, and launched air attacks against Iran. What say you about those marbles?

@RepPfluger @JJCarafano I studied Major Lodge’s final flight. He took one for the Gipper, us!

@McFaul @shelbyjmag I am not certain we want Putin to fail

[Ed Marek @ed_marek]

As our costs continue to rise, my bet is many will never come down.

@Osint613 @AndrewSErickson We need these CENTCOM reports. Keep them coming !

@CNN Is Trump doing this with our tax dollars? Perhaps I will not send in my 2036 estimated tax money. This UFC expenditure is not right

[Ed Marek @ed_marek]

@jsolomonReports The greater question is when will we bring down the debt

[Ed Marek @ed_marek]

@jsolomonReports Looks to me like Rand Paul is testing presidential run

@brianstelter I always felt like Mr. Pelley was about to cry during many of his reports. That made me feel uneasy.

[Ed Marek @ed_marek]

@McFaul Mr. McFaul, never say never. I can envision a scenario where a NATO member would attack Russia.

In his first term, President Reagan wanted Israel to get out of Lebanon and he met with a “ Peace through strength” group. Same shit. Different day.

[Ed Marek @ed_marek]

Re Iran: tell them we want unconditional surrender of all military forces. And then make it stick

[Ed Marek @ed_marek]

@AtlanticCouncil @MatthewKroenig @Mister_G_2 I think we have to get our command and control house in order, especially in the Arctic region

[Ed Marek @ed_marek]

I know Europeans and others tire of Trump. Fair enough. I tire of royalty.

@RLHeinrichs I have long viewed the DNI job as an administrative, budget number crunching one more than intelligence analysis. I am happy to leave Ratcliffe at CIA. Pulte builds houses. He can crunch the numbers

[Ed Marek @ed_marek]

@tperkins @SenKevinCramer This should have been expected since Israel and the US killed so many Iranian leaders. Of course you don’t know who is in charge!

[Ed Marek @ed_marek]

@jsolomonReports It’s a free country Mr Trump. The “chirping” is a result of your loss of credibility.

[Ed Marek @ed_marek]

@GordonGChang If Putin wants to reconstitute the Russian empire, he should start with Belarus and tells us what timeframe Russian empire would apply. It changed several times

[Ed Marek @ed_marek]

Re Iran, same shit, different day.
