Since I’ve experienced it 1st hand more than once— I’m going to tell you what it’s like when you have a loved one & immediate family member who’s serving in a combat zone away from you, or is suddenly deployed with less than 24 hours notice to a war zone…

#NoWarWithIran
Before they leave, you scramble to make sure everything’s in order:
—Finances
—Wills
—Last minute checks for next of kin notifications…just in case

Time always comes too fast—You wait til the last second watching their plane & your heart depart.
And you feel gutted & terrified.
You spend hours, days & sometimes, weeks waiting to hear from them.
And when you don’t, even though you swore you wouldn’t, you finally give in—terrified of what you may find & check the news anyway—to look for stories of air strikes or hostile activity in their part of the world

Thread of Iran Escallation 1/24

I will extend my Tweet into thread on 'next move' escallation. When I wrote this thread, Trump had launched unprovoked military strike killing an Iranian General. It is an act of war. Illegal. Iran responded by striking 2 US bases

Iran Escallation Thread 2/24

First. The Iranian response. It was MEASURED. It was sending a message to USA, it was designed NOT TO INFLICT large military casualties on USA (at this stage). But it is particularly notable, that they struck TWO air bases instead of just one.

1. 15 total missiles. 10 hit one base (Al-Assad), 1 near Erbil and the rest were duds. The missiles that hit sound like they were largely inconsequential.

Iran has the capability to hit us in Iraq with precision... but they didn’t.con’t

2. `They could have targeted another base in Iraq that’s closer and has more US troops (Balad), but they didn’t. As of now it looks like a face saving symbolic attack.

It’s surprising as it’s a radical change from their usual doctrine... #NoWarWithIran #WarWithIran #Iran
3. They never use their regular military and rely on proxy. This might say more on the psychological effect the death of Soleimani has had inside Iran. The regime is acting out of weakness. The opposition within Iran and Iraq feel strengthened. Cont #NoWarWithlran #Iran
