I'm not sure most of the time.

Mao turned China into a superpower that now eclipses the USA. He stamped out drug trafficking and opium addiction, he nationalized the financial sector, and he oversaw the expropriation of major landlords. He is indisputably one of the greatest leaders in world history

🚨 Rare footage from 2014:

ISIS fighters attempt to cross into Iran but Iranian soldiers are already waiting for them.

[🔻agitprop + absurdity🔻 @agtprpnabsrdty]

A months-long Sky News investigation into the US double-tap strike on a Minab girls' school found the Pentagon had tracked the site by satellite since 1987 and could still count children's shadows in the courtyard before firing anyway.

What the evidence shows:

Three Tomahawk missiles fired from the USS Spruance, 716 kilometers away in the Arabian Sea, hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab on Feb 28, the opening day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Witnesses described a second strike hitting the exact spot where a teacher had moved surviving students for shelter, killing nearly everyone who had taken cover there. A third strike followed on the same site. Death tolls range from 156 to over 170, most of them girls aged seven to twelve. The school had been walled off from the adjacent IRGC naval base since at least 2015, had its own website, and was geolocatable through open-source materials any analyst could have pulled in minutes.

Built to fail:

The Pentagon's own machinery for preventing exactly this outcome had already been dismantled. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slashed the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence workforce by roughly 90 percent and cut CENTCOM's civilian casualty assessment team from ten people to one, months before the war started. A May Pentagon Inspector General report found the office had become a shell on paper with no budget, no mandate, no real mission. A functioning warning system was defunded on purpose, then blamed for not warning anyone.

Accountability buried:

Four months on, CENTCOM's commander told reporters the investigation was near complete, yet nothing has been released. Asked in June whether anyone would face consequences, Trump called it a strange question, adding that mistakes are made and war is nasty. The mistake was choosing not to fund the office that exists to catch mistakes like this one.

My take: A military that surveilled a schoolyard for four decades didn't fail to see the children, it decided in advance that seeing them wouldn't change the targeting. Nobody in this chain lacked information.

Weird how the Dem Party establishment has been trying to impose its own virtual blacklist on the same targets - Hasan Piker, DSA - as Trump. Suggests again the Dem Party’s “playing possum” non-opposition to Trump is in part because they share common internal enemies.

This you, @TomTiffanyWI?

@Calamondins1 @andreas_krieg Nah, before. Reps from UAE and Saudi visited Iran 3 days before the war saying you're gonna be destroyed so give us the three islands and we might stop the attacks.

[Alabama Revolutionary🌹✊🏾 @TerrellLeftist]

Democrats saw this in 2016 and said yeah we want Hillary. And then Trump won🤣🤣🤣🤣

[TekBayo @TexBayo]

@MattWat16001736 @HormuzLetter All of them hit, literally not one is intercepted.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran has launched a Sejjil ballistic missile toward Aqaba in Jordan roughly an hour ago.

The Sejjil is Iran's two-stage solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile with a range of approximately 2,000 km, one of Iran's most advanced indigenous missiles, and is rarely deployed.

🚨Jeff Currie: "I'd argue in my entire career, I have never seen an energy environment this tight."

The US SPR sits near a 43-year low, with barely 19 million barrels of cushion above the operating floor

Refining margins just hit a record $60+ a barrel, 6x the 40 year average, driven by supply absence, not demand

Roughly 6 million bpd of global refining capacity is offline between Russia, China and the Middle East

Currie is betting the barrels win.

[الأحداث الإيرانية 🇮🇷 @Ianianevents]

On this day, Saudi Arabia dropped an internationally banned American bomb on Mount Nuqum, a populated area, killing many innocent people in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a.

We will not forget, and we will not forgive.

[TekBayo @TexBayo]

You don't get to attack a country, threaten it with nukes, say it's borders are gonna change, kill 160 primary school kids in the first day and after your ass is handed to you, say "free Iran".

[Claire Beaumont @clair_bmnt]

@_MartinKelly_ I said it before. The Ayatollah gives orders. Houthis blockade Saudi ships while IRGC drones kill Ukrainians. Same regime. Free Iran. 👇

[TekBayo @TexBayo]

@nativistconcern @AaronBastani Your sister thinks differently.

[TekBayo @TexBayo]

@Calamondins1 @andreas_krieg Atacms and Himars are being shot from Kuwait and Bahrain, many UAE fighters participated in the bombing from the get-go, several Emirati ucavs were shot down in Iran, most important assets are housed in Jordan, etc.

[TekBayo @TexBayo]

@nativistconcern @AaronBastani You look brown to me, with none of the charisma generally associated with it.

@elerrantenomad It'd much better if you were not conceived.
