🧵@ggreenwald falsely claims IDF HQ in Tel Aviv is "underneath" civilian buildings but it’s a clearly marked, standalone building NOT above or mixed with civilian infrastructure—like Hexagone Ballard in Paris and others. His goal is to whitewash Hamas' human shield crimes. 1/ 
Greenwald presents discussion with @jconricus as some big gotcha: “Israel also use human shields.” But it just demonstrates willful ignorance. A marked sole purpose military HQ in a city is not human shielding. UK and Italy are not using human shields. 2/
I’ve posted this many times because this fake point keeps coming up. Human shielding is placing a military asset WITHIN or BENEATH (i.e. tunnels) civilian buildings. They are unmarked and co-located by design with civilians to shield them from attack. END
⭕️🧵THE US & ISRAEL’S GROUND PLAN FOR IRAN: With the WSJ report that President Trump is open to arming militias in Iran to start acting as “ground forces” and begin an armed rebellion against the remnants of the regime, here’s what I think the plan is.
📌 The conditions on the ground that Israel and the promised to create for the Iranian people to rise up will start in Kurdistan. Reports earlier this week said that Trump had spoken to Iraqi Kurdish leaders about “sensitive” matters that could not be disclosed. With this new report about specifically arming Iranian Kurdish groups, I believe we will first see action there.
📌 This could present in a number of ways. Armed Iranian Kurdish groups (some of which already exist) could begin a localized uprising in Western Iran. This might be in conjunction with and supported by the Peshmerga in Iraqi Kurdistan, who could do anything from sending supplies/weapons to actually sending ground forces over the border to fight. Israeli strikes have specifically been focusing on IRGC military infrastructure in Western Iran/Kurdistan to “clear the path” for an uprising.

I should not blame all of Europe, but this reminds me of October 1973.
At that time, Arab Armies attacked Israel, and frankly, Israel was fast running out of ammunition and equipment. President Nixon decided to resupply Israel rather than let Israel be defeated and

all its people killed (including me, my wife and my son).
But Europe, closed its airspace to the US military. It even grounded American aircraft in Germany, Spain and Italy, preventing the USA from resupplying Israel from US bases in Europe.

Answer: IRGC “decentralized command & control” (C2)
IRGC “decentralized command & control” (C2) isn’t a last-minute improvisation. It’s baked into a long-running IRGC concept often described as “mosaic defense” -> built to keep fighting even if Tehran’s top nodes get hit.

Core idea: avoid a single “brain.” Instead, spread authority, forces, and logistics across provincial commands so the system still functions if leadership or comms are disrupted.

In 2026, saying you have "no questions" is often seen as a lack of curiosity or business sense. The interview isn’t finished until you walk out the door. This is your moment to flip the script and interview them.

Top candidates don’t act like supplicants; they act like strategic partners. You’re not just looking for a paycheck, you’re looking for a meaningful collaboration. Smart questions show you’re vetting them as much as they’re vetting you.

In 1377, a North African scholar studied every empire and dynasty to answer one question: why do civilizations always collapse?
What did he find? That comfort and luxury destroy every empire within 3 generations. No exceptions.

Ibn Khaldun, in his book The Muqaddimah, looked at the Arab empires, the Persians, the Romans, the Berber dynasties, and dozens of others.
He asked one question: Why do civilizations rise, and why do they always fall?
There is one force that builds every civilization and one force that destroys it.

The building force he called 'aṣabîyah. "Group feeling."

Western security officials say Aleksei Kolosovsky, a 42-year-old from Krasnodar, has become a key facilitator in the Kremlin's sabotage campaign across Europe.
He is not a trained intelligence officer. He is a former cab driver who investigators say works closely with the GRU.
