The COVID-19 virus has spread unchecked in Iran. Which means that it is now spreading unchecked in Iraq, too.

Between this and the outbreak in South Korea, I expect US DOD to announce confirmed infections of military personnel pretty soon.
This out yesterday. Widow of retired US soldier. Visited post exchange at Camp Walker on Feb. 12 and 15.

Ugh. Both Camp Carroll and Camp Walker are in trouble. Both are near Daegu.

As he speaks, the second community-spread victim is confirmed.

But hey, tax cuts.
Our country is now in the sunken place.
And now the third case of community-spread, this one in Oregon.

They’ll be coming fast now.

But hey, tax cuts.

Kudlow is now officially Baghdad Bob. This presser is beyond satire.
That was genuinely hilarious.
And now Ken Langone. Can’t make this shit up.

Must read. This is INSANE.

“Since the patient did not fit the existing CDC criteria for COVID-19, a test was not immediately administered.”
This is from CEO of UC-Davis Health.
The “don’t test, don’t tell” policy of the CDC came crashing down tonight.

Community transmission is here in the US, and we don’t know the origin.

Only took an hour to blast Trump’s “buh, buh the flu” presser to smithereens.

Now let’s get to work!

#Iran launches 'more than a dozen ballistic missiles' at #US targets in #Iraq, Pentagon confirms
I#Iran #USA
ran’s foreign minister has said the strikes have concluded and characterised them as self-defence within the boundaries of international law – not the first shots in a war.

Trump, in his first comments after the strikes, also sought to play them down.
#Iran #USA
The attacks appear to have been carefully calibrated to avoid US casualties. #US bases in #Iraq were already on high alert.

This is a first step Iran is initiating to give the go to further attacks by Iran and its allies to exhaust US forces in the Middle East.

1. Without going into too much detail, it is worth noting that Iran (or Persia) was an imperial power during many periods in its history. In fact, at the time of Alexander the Great's invasion of Persia, the Persian Empire was the greatest the world had ever seen.
2. This imperial past is necessary to understand Iranian policy. There are two main drivers of Iranian policy in the region: its belief that it is the guardian of Shia Islam but also a great nation with an imperial past (and thus entitled to weild influence over other nations)

#Iran has decided to directly respond against the #US assassination of #IRGC commander #QassemSoleimani and #Iraq commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes
#Iran #IRGC cmdr #QassemSoleimani movement was not a secret because it was understood that his killing will create a response.

He was killed in #Iraq by a #US order and #Iran will hit the #US by Khamenei order.

That will drag a wider confrontation

#Iran #QassemSoleimani commander was due to visit #Turkey President Erdogan and had a visit scheduled to #Lebanon.

His trips were known for many. The assassination will not at all affect Iran military and operationally because no one is indispensable.
