What may seem like the end of the world is actually the end of a 500-year reign of terror under western Euro colonialism & the beginning of a new era in humanity
Syriah Henderson was found lynched behind a Dollar Tree in St. Pete, Florida on July 2nd. This is the 2nd lynching of a Black woman here in Florida this year.
It’s important to understand that while a lot of us are horrified by the evil of sending people to their deaths, that many others who support this administration read this kind of news with pleasure. The same way they read and cheer on stories of ICE agents killing protestors.
I’m as pro gun as they come but there’s too much random killing and irresponsibility. People getting shot at a food festival. mfs crashing out at the mall, people getting in shootouts and hitting Uber drivers and little kids. Can’t even go out and enjoy yourself without the fear in the back of your mind that some idiot will take your life on purpose or by accident.
For the “boom boom Tel Aviv” idiots:
The biggest mistake people make when looking at war is assuming the objective is to hit the enemy’s capital as quickly as possible. That’s political theater, not military strategy.
If you look at the strike map, Iran isn’t behaving like a country trying to maximize headlines but like a military attempting to shape the battlespace.
The targets are not random or insignificant. Iran is dismantling the entire American military ecosystem in the region:
Early warning radar sites.
Air defense systems.
Aviation facilities and hangars.
Logistics hubs.
Fuel and ammunition storage.
Forward operating bases.
CENTCOM support infrastructure.
Bases supporting operations in Syria and Iraq.
Naval and maritime surveillance assets.
Intelligence collection and communications nodes.
Look at jordan as an example. Most people couldn’t point to Tower 22 or Muwaffaq Salti Air Base on a map, yet they’re arguably more important militarily than firing a few missiles at downtown Tel Aviv.
Tower 22 supports operations at Al-Tanf. Muwaffaq Salti hosts American aircraft and coalition operations. Erbil supports intelligence and special operations. Bahrain hosts the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters. Kuwait is a massive logistics and staging area. Qatar hosts the forward headquarters of CENTCOM and the largest U.S. air base in the Middle East. These are the eyes, ears, and connective tissue of American power projection in the region.
From a military perspective, you don’t begin by punching the strongest part of your opponent. You isolate him.
There are several principles of warfare being applied here:
1. Suppression of enemy support infrastructure.
2. Degradation of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.
3. Attrition of air defense and interceptor inventories.
4. Disruption of logistics and sustainment.
5. Political pressure on host nations.
6. Shaping the operational environment before attempting anything larger.
The United States does not fight Middle Eastern wars from Washington or even from aircraft carriers alone. It fights them from an interconnected network of bases stretching from Jordan to Qatar to Kuwait to Bahrain. If that network becomes degraded, every sortie, every intelligence feed, every resupply mission, and every interceptor launch becomes more difficult and more expensive.
People screaming “just bomb Tel Aviv” fundamentally misunderstand what modern warfare looks like. Destroying a radar site that enables coalition air operations can be militarily more valuable than causing superficial damage to a symbolic target.
There’s another aspect people are missing: INTERCEPTOR ECONOMICS.
Every Patriot interceptor fired costs millions of dollars. Air defense inventories are finite. Sustained operational tempo places enormous strain on maintenance crews, missile stockpiles, and logistics chains. If an adversary can force you to defend a dozen locations simultaneously, you’ve already begun winning the resource allocation battle.
Historically, successful military campaigns begin with degrading command-and-control, communications, air defenses, and logistics before moving to decisive operations.
Whether one agrees with Iran politically is irrelevant to the military analysis. What we’re witnessing is not random retaliation, it is a deliberate campaign aimed at systematically degrading the regional architecture that allows the United States and its allies to project military power across the Middle East.
Wars are won by destroying capabilities, not by chasing viral videos of missiles landing in capital cities and gay techno songs. The boring targets on a map are often the most important ones
the outrage and focus that comes from white folks being killed by ICE and the silence that follows black and brown folks being killed by ICE is disgusting and unforgivable. we see how a lot of y’all be moving.
dr. linda davis is another victim of ICE 🕊️
