Just a reminder that Iranian proxies have been rocketing Saudi Arabia for two years and these people have done nothing.
I don’t buy the “ten minutes from a strike” stuff either. This Administration is all talk.
@AmbJohnBolton’s mistake was not understanding that all the threats are just garbage to sound tough on Fox News. Trump is fundamentally a coward and an isolationist.

No coordinates and no pictures. This story is garbage.

Ok, it get's worse. The "two holes" that @EnglishChosun found in Google Earth? North Korea filled them in this summer.

Well that's an easy geolocation.
Somebody got a new drone for The Day of Songun.

Sondok, South Hamgyong Province is located at: 39.7425, 127.458333. That's an unusual location for a missile test. But there is an airfield there. That will make @DaveSchmerler happy.
@DaveSchmerler On August 6, North Korea launched two KN-23s from an "operational airbase" to verify "the reliability, security and actual war capacity of the new-type tactical guided weapon system." This *might* be something similar. Or not. We have to wait.
@DaveSchmerler 380 kilometers at a maximum altitude of 97 km. That's a ballistic trajectory, in contrast to the aeroballistic trajectories we've seen with KN-23 and new missile.

Hundreds of women have tried to escape #Saudi Arabia in recent years, fleeing the strict male guardianship laws that control every aspect of their lives. These are the stories of some of those women via @Sophiemcneill @4corners abc.net.au/news/2019-02-0… #EndMaleGuardianship
All women fear the Dal Al Reaya — the state-run institutions where women who resist the male guardianship system or ‘shame’ their families often end up. Even women who go to the police to report a crime can be sent here. #EndMaleGuardianship All women fear the Dal Al Reaya — the state-run institutions where women who resist the male guardianship system or 'shame' their families often end up. Even women who go to the police to report a crime can be sent here. Their only way out is if a male guardian comes and collects them. Sometimes women locked in the Dal Al Reaya will agree to marry perfect strangers as a way of leaving.
In order to escape #Saudi Arabia, women need permission from their male guardian to travel. Saudi Arabia's far-reaching controls over women extend online, where men are able to grant travel permissions through a government-run app called Absher. #EndMaleGuardianship

#Saudi feminist Loujain al-Hathloul, 29, was detained in May in unprecedented crackdown vs feminists. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aide Saud al-Qahtani, personally oversaw her interrogation, which incl waterboarding & threatened to rape & kill her google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.…
Of 18 detained activists, at least eight have been physically abused in custody, according to Saudi advisers, activists &others with knowledge of the prisoners’ treatment. One said security officials electrocuted her hands. “My fingers resembled barbecued meat, swollen and blue”
Glad to see some finally pay attention to misogyny in #Saudi Arabia - I call it gender apartheid. RIP Jamal Khashoggi. It should not be lost on us that it took the murder of a man for some to finally pay attention to women.

The bodies of 2 sisters from #Saudi Arabia were found in Hudson river, bound together by duct tape at their waists & ankles. Rotana Farea, 22, & Tala Farea, 16 “had recently requested asylum in the United States.” nytimes.com/2018/10/29/nyr… h/t @rerutled
👆🏽reminded me of #Saudi woman Dina Lasloom,who tried to escape forced marriage by going to #Australia for asylum but was detained at Manila airport until uncles came,beat her,tied mouth,arms,legs w/duct tape & dragged her onto plane home google.com/amp/s/www.nyti… #GenderApartheid
Death of 2 #Saudi sisters is highly suspicious. I hope coroner’s report is issued soon. I lived in Saudi Arabia as a teenager & for past 16yrs have been writing about #genderaprtheid in Saudi Arabia. Treatment of women is outrageous. And too often ignored or diminished.

1) President Trump does politics.
I have to get to the truth.

Orange juice evening thread, #JamalKhashoggi
October 23, 2018.
2) This Khashoggi thing has become important for another reason.

I am here to get to the truth - I don't want a Deep State secretly running our lives.

That means: Not here to defend Trump - defend the government - defend the Jewish people or Israel - sell books.

No.
3) I am also not here to explain Trump - explain the government - explain the Jewish people or Israel - explain my motives.

If you don't want to read my stuff, that's fine.

1. The #Iran Action Group created by @SecPompeo last month released its report. Iran's role in the region, which other administrations overlooked, appears to be under intense scrutiny. #Houthis in #Yemen have been identified alongside groups responsible for attacks against the US
2. The report stated that consequences of #Iran's meddling include its lethal ballistic missiles, which advanced its proxies military capabilities: "Yemen’s #Houthi militants have fired numerous ballistic missiles into #Saudi Arabia, including two directed at Riyadh in May 2018."
3. The report also indicated that since 2012: "#Iran has spent over $16 billion propping up the #Assad regime and supporting its other partners and proxies in #Syria, #Iraq, and #Yemen."
