"Health issues".

Okay, so here is a threadly reminder of why Brennan and the CIA are responsible for practically everything.

This will cover information I've already covered but it's always good to have a reminder.
In the first week of August 2016, Brennan contacted Avril Haines via telephone as he had received intelligence about Putin.

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/…
The intelligence was from a source that Brennan had used which he intentionally kept out of the Presidential Daily Brief. It was a report that Putin had directly ordered a cyber campaign to disrupt the US presidential race to help Trump.

Iraq’s PM is fuming.

He says Suleimani arrived in Iraq to deliver a response to the Iraqis from Iran about a Saudi offer to de-escalate. They was supposed to meet.

Explains why the Iraqi government’s statement was the strongest, even compared to those of clerics Sistani & Sadr
Regardless of facts, this explosive detail will be understood in many circles in the Middle East as the Saudis played a role in the killing of Qassem Suleimani, a payback to the Iranian attack on the Saudi oil facilities in September.

Saudi Crown Prince called the Iraqi PM today
(Because the Saudi pursue of talks with Iran would be seen as a trap to kill Suleimani, if the tweet wasn’t clear)

Short thread on need to decolonize commentary on Middle East
Today almost every journalist asked me (and correctly so) why an Iranian general was in #Iraq Non of them, however, asked why American generals and thousands of soldiers are in Iraq. Why? This question calls for interrogating media and knowledge production about the Middle East
This knowledge production is based on disregard of geography and history when it comes to actions of e.g. Iran, while centering those aspects in analysis of actions of US. But actions of Iran don’t take place in a vacuum but within INTERnational relations and historical contexts

13. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼
