So somebody had the dosh to pay extra for the remote turret gun control to the 24 Turkish supplied GNA Hedgehogs. This....will be interesting. #CallOfShooty
This: and this:
and this:msn.com/en-us/money/vi…
and this.
Coverage the war in Libya is marred by disinfo, fake news, wrong photos and remote reporting... The latest is sneaking in fake photos into real photos of the recent arms shipment. Eg: silly 2018 Ukrainian drone mockup (it flies but doesn't fire) supposedly in use by the GNA.
The MRAP is a poor vehicle for warfare in Libya (or anywhere). They don't do well in urban combat, are easy to pick off and the favorite breakfast of drones, TOW or CAS. Essentially a risk adverse troop carrier. The UAE and Saudis learned this in Yemen.
We will be seeing a lot of these type of videos:

Why not assemble a panel of dispassionate professionals to explain just what the hell is going on in this battle of the geriatrics? There is a discipline of emergency psychiatrists who can intervene and calm these geezers down so they can burn our tax money properly.

Good overview by Graeme Wood who discovers that Lindh has changed teams from AQ to IS. That's a Russian Tartar in the pic btw not John Walker Lindh. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Lindh was with bin Laden's al Ansar or the 055 Brigade split into four units. Lindh's unit fought at Khwaja Ghar (Taloqan/Khanabad) His Afghan commander was Mullah Thaker. Al Qaeda officers like Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi ran the the al-Farooq training camp outside Kandahar. ©RYP
The 055 Brigade was created by bin Laden in 1996 manned with Arab speaking volunteers trapped in Afghanistan. Juma Namangani's Uzbek fighters also joined to create a 1000 man shock unit for the talibs. Bin Laden hired Saudis to lead the mercenaries. Lindh is in the back. ©RYP

So John Walker Lindh gets out of prison tomorrow. All the news crews are there. All the stories are written. He is a big fan of ISIS and given that the other American caught at Qala i Jangi buggered off back home to Saudi Arabia scott free, I am sure he is a little bitter.
He is caught between two worlds. He is disliked by jihadis for cowering in a basement for a week and disliked by Americans for being a terrorist sympathizer. I would be happy to debate the merits of 90's era jihad vs 2019 jihad since I have been in more islamist wars than he has.
His friends died or went to Gitmo. Later sent home as being non threats to America. He however will have to live in the US for three years and will be constantly harassed for his opinions. I would love to see him defend his views and show people how shallow they are. ©RYP

😎I’mBaaack!😎

Judge in Stone’s case was given the full unredacted MR.

Gates "continues to cooperate with the gov’t" #Stone #Craig

The MR could end the Trump presidency w/out impeachment #ShockandAwe

EG:”Last week SDNY filed 50 Sealed vs. Sealed cases.” #1MDB #TrumpFam etc
😎I’mBaaack2😎

The Covode report ruined a presidency in 1860, the MR might do the same in 2020 & lead to a Dem victory.

Barr Made $1.73M From AT&T-Time Warner Deal

Dow tanks over 600 pts

The cost of Trump's tariffs has fallen 'entirely' on US biz’ & consumers: $800 per fam.
😎I’mBaaack3😎

China is raising tariffs on $60B of US goods starting June 1

The day Trump imposed his 1st tariffs was 1/22/18. The Dow closed at 26,071.22.

Since then the Dow has had a -2.86% return in 16 mos.

Tax cuts & tariffs have cost America billions. GOP says suck it up

Update: China still ‘preparing’ delegation for US trip despite Donald Trump’s threat to increase tariffs | South China Morning Post

@Avery1776 ⁦@MischaEDM⁩ scmp.com/economy/global…
@POTUS @realDonaldTrump should force China to give up its “Developing Country” statues.

Makes u wonder why other countries so concern the trade war between US & China-
We have a @POTUS who no longer let these blood suckers leeching on us.

#Trump would be better off listening to his own military commanders, who understand that #Haftar cannot so easily take control of all of #Libya militarily.

President #Trump’s support of a #Libyan warlord is a big mistake

msn.com/en-ca/news/wor… What does it tell you that the brother of the biggest drug smuggler in history, has started a GoFundMe to impeach President Trump?
Because he knows how much a wall would hurt the illegal drug trade!
And trust me, if money could help impeach Trump, George Soros and all of liberal hollywood would be all over it. . . but it's still telling how much the drug smugglers want Trump gone

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

The @NRA & #gun companies are not evil but they are part of the problem. And the amazing thing is: all the folks clamoring to #BoycottNRA don't even know how bad it really is!
5 things the #NRA & gun manufacturers have successfully lobbied to create...
1) Background chk system overseen by the ATF that is forbidden to digitize records & so must keep all records on paper
2) BG chk system that is enormously hobbled at ATF bec of extreme funding shortages so that it can't do its job well & so that the NRA can claim it doesn't work
3) Passage of the #Dickey Amendment that forbids gov't research from reaching conclusions that might be construed as advocating for gun control, thus allowing the #NRA to say, "No studies show..." and leaving legislators with no data to back up laws that might work
