Two important articles on #IranWar legal issues

1. A question many commentators have missed:

Did U.S. drone violate rules of transit when in 'international airspace'?

2. History of how Reagan elided War Powers Resolution in actions against Iran during 1980s Tanker War
<thread>
Great @marknevitt analysis:

"The Missing Piece in US-Iran Drone Dispute: Navigational Freedoms and Strait of Hormuz"

Also great, great piece by the Todd Buchwald, who worked in Reagan administration on war powers in 1980s Tanker War.

"Anticipating the President’s Way Around the War Powers Resolution on Iran: Lessons of the 1980s Tanker Wars"

A sadly long <thread>

I published this article (with the brilliant @jgeltzer) assessing specific ways in which President Trump has undercut the U.S. intelligence community.

It's important to take a step back, and examine the record.

A 'top 10' list...
justsecurity.org/66035/the-patt…
1. Top of the list:

Trump’s many acts (documented in Mueller Report) trying to impede the criminal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election—in pursuit of his own political interests and despite the FBI's efforts to nab Russians.

2. Helsinki. Trump sided with Putin over US intel agencies

WSJ editorial harshly criticized POTUS under headline, “The Trump First Doctrine.”

“joint press conference was a personal and national embarrassment”
“kowtow to the Kremlin”
“weak and dangerous”

US Defense official told CNBC snapshot of Iran site “was included in a Friday intelligence briefing.”

So...

1. Iran (and other US adversaries) now know spy capabilities included in POTUS briefings

2. Next time Iran claims US drone was over airspace they’ll have a stronger hand
Here’s the CNBC report (by @amanda_m_macias @KevinWilliamB):

“A U.S. defense official told CNBC that the picture in Trump's tweet, which appeared to be a snapshot of a physical copy of the satellite image, was included in a Friday intelligence briefing.”
cnbc.com/2019/08/30/tru…
“Melissa Hanham ... believes that the resolution is so high, it may be beyond the physical limits at which satellites can operate.
...
That could mean it was taken by a drone or spy plane, though such a vehicle would be violating Iranian airspace.”

Some commentators—including @LizaGoitein @jacklgoldsmith @MonicaHakimi @benjaminwittes—have suggested President Trump has power under emergency legislation (IEEPA) to make good on threats re U.S. business in China

Here's a powerful rebuttal by @jgeltzer

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Pic: Mahavira (~8 cent CE), Kizhakuyilkudi
Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.
