ISIS Khorasan are a bunch of slack jawed hillbillies from Pakistan who have no problem murdering innocents. This Pakistani-imported Maoist nihilist shit is getting old. The Afghan people, its military, Scotty Miller and his team need our full support. cnn.com/2019/08/18/pol…
We don't need to hide in forts and built giant bases with Burger Kings. We just need good people on the ground who force multiply the locals and take the fight to where they sleep. recoilweb.com/cru-222-afghan…
The goal of ISIS is to suport Sunni interests against other sects. Their franchise and training model is easy to finance, they pay more than al Qaeda but we have years of experience (1899 - today) in battling these groups. We just always ignore the basics and build out every war.
ISIS is easy to kill before they get entrenched. Harder once they hide among the civilians. This is why it was easy to annihilate most of the first ISIS franchise in 21 days around Achin. But big armies and big bombs can only support targeted ground ops. afghanistan-analysts.org/the-battle-for…
ISIS in Afghanistan is simply force projection. there is no public support for ISIS nor is there any logical end state. Again we have the tools, but we need the commitment to see it through. Killing each and every member of ISIS is an ugly business. afghanistan-analysts.org/the-battle-for…

Before there was the DoJ indictments there were actual scientists analyzing Russian disinfo on Twitter. RT's job was to get suckers and paid spies to retweet. nature.com/articles/s4159…

There are a lot of ways to look at hostile efforts by Russia to confuse, weaken and divide their enemies (us) Here is a "hate map" frontiersin.org/journals/polit…

December 2016: Read the intercepted transcripts of U.S. miltiary General and Former intel head Flynn working out back door deals with the Russians to appease them. He later lied to the FBI. And was pardoned by Trump.

The Cliff Notes version. Flynn had been radicalized and managed to combine hustling nukes for Saudis with an alliance with Russia against "terrorists. Didn't help that a Neocon and Israeli asset wrote his jihad book. npr.org/2017/12/05/568…

Foriegn influence is not one dimensional. Saudis wanted the bomb. Israel wanted a war with Iran. UAE wanted to overthrow half a dozen countries. Russia wanted sanctions lifted. Donny spread his cheeks wide and flashed a number. He was open for business. politico.com/story/2018/07/…

Done shit. Seen shit. Been places. Loved the living. Honored the dead. So I am officially someone with common sense. America let’s not fuck up this election. I want at least a 12 hour hop to a dangerous place.

Trump’s deplorables are doing the same thing they do in shitholes before coups. Create fictional excuses to seize power due to “cheating” or “stealing” the election.He has no other option than to stoke violence. He knows he will lose newrepublic.com/post/185139/tr…
Remember Donny is not that smart. He tells everyone what he is doing and what he wants the slope pated to do. Here is his speech. After previous, far more inflammatory speech’s from his disciples. npr.org/2021/02/10/966…

January 10, 2017. Tom Barrack has a meeting about the inauguration event in which any donors and anonymous LLCs can blow as much as they want on Donny's party. Melania is in charge of the $107 Million dosh party. "its a coronation" c-span.org/video/?421571-…
January 15, 2017. $10 million in U.S. 100 dollar bills from the Egyptian Intelligence service via an Egyptian state bank is flown from Cairo to the U.S. Might as well get rid of those moldy Benjamins. Right? washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Melania's first hire was an event planner. Money flowed. But not 100 million. Wolkoff insist she got screwed. Somebody kept some dosh. Wasn't her. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…

"In 2008, an Egyptian man bought an opulent 10,400-square-foot mansion on famed Rodeo Drive. Sale price.$10.3 million.

Six weeks later, he transferred the mansion to a shell company set up by a brash New York billionaire – for no money at all."

Shit is complicated. Oh look Elliott Broidy.
Where these Donny's shag pads, money laundering or just spiffs? Or all the above. Why does the media never clear up their messes and finish the story?

Let’s elevate this story to WTF Level One. Pardons don’t come cheap. At least in MAGA land. Jared also got in some manky pardons.
Ike Perlmutter was very concerned. And we know how you say thank you in Trumpanzee. cnbc.com/2023/07/13/tru…
“An Israeli soldier who came to New York penniless, he built up a toy business, was bought out by Marvel, ended up saving Marvel from bankruptcy, started up the film division with Iron Man, and sold the company to Disney,”

Yeah….Ike is Israeli and American. But why pardon Wade?
