This is silly. The fact check is fine, but orig concern is badly misdirected. checkyourfact.com/2021/08/06/fac…
1/4
There's been more than one NATO command in Norfolk, including Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic (SACLANT) for many yrs in the Cold War. Had the counterpart "SACEUR" in Europe. SACLANT was shuttered in 2003. 2/4
Allied Command Transformation is a training command with a peculiar name but a standard mission to develop vision, doctrine & common standards for the Allied forces. act.nato.int 3/4
Standing up NATO Joint Force Command in Norfolk is a response to evolving political perspectives on Alliance focus & defense requirements. Basically it amounts to having a rejiggered "SACLANT" again. May/may not be a good idea, but has no negatives for US sovereignty. 4/4

Thread.
I covered all the possibilities in my article at LU on this.
Not useful to just say we don't believe NSA. On balance, I believe NSA. The statement is fully responsive *for NSA.*
libertyunyielding.com/2021/06/28/tuc… 1/7
I also think it's very probable Carlson IS being monitored.
I said I doubted *NSA* was monitoring him. That has a particular meaning, and NSA doesn't have to lie to disclaim it. 2/7
Folks, you and possibly Carlson are being played by terminology here. That's why we need a @DevinNunes on this to get to ground truth.
- If someone's unmasking Carlson in incidental monitoring, it's not NSA. It's another agency using data that's retrieved thru NSA. 3/7

Wd be illuminating to try (to ban Marxism on same basis as "banning CRT").
Ppl don't realize we've taught everything thru class-divisive lens of Marxism for 50+ yrs. Definitions of "capitalism" & capital-labor dichotomy, "blue-collar" vs. "professional" are Marxist concepts. 1/4
Politicizing & weaponizing social divisions is heavily systematized by Marxist thought. Schools K-12 have been prepping Americans to participate in such a polity since mid-1950s.
Marxist framework of leveraging *theoretical ideology* to railroad society has been foundational 2/4
... for transforming ppl's view of govt, from limited/specialized service-provider to managerial, all-purpose tool of transformation & guarantees.
*No reality needed*; act on ideology. "Reinterpret" reality as necessary.
We don't just offer study of Marxism in schools. 3/4

Key points (thread):
1. Chinese base sits right at Bab-el-Mandeb Str chokepoint. Pivotal. (US there too, for now.)
2. PIER-side access for carrier means extended deplmt/presence. Can do maintenance forward.
libertyunyielding.com/2021/04/20/chi… 1/5
Note that China already significantly improved base facilities. Extensive underground fortifications.
Could support weapons caches (incl special weps), maint/repair, and command/control.

In 2015, during Obama yrs, Djibouti reportedly made unconfirmed proposal for US to relocate and let China take over port.
Undoubtedly urged by China to do that. Conditions ripe for reemergence of such a push from Beijing.

"Occasional acts of terror" is how Obama admin saw Israel's security problem for 8 yrs.
No wonder a Biden admin staffed by former Obama officials (incl Ben Rhodes) sees it same way.
Gold is right about Jordan Valley. Effectively dominated by Israel today; must never be ... 1/4
... LESS than that.
Dominate Jordan Valley - keep the peace. Breaching it prohibitive. Limits what will be attempted from vector East.
Fail to dominate it - make infil attempts vs. J&S heights more viable. Destabilizing. Less peace, more attempts & feasible for ... 2/4
... non-state actors.
Reality of Iran, in last 10 yrs, moving missile/drone arsenal hundreds of miles closer into Iraq & Syria - that must not be ignored. SHORTENS reaction time. Need dominated perimeter closer to those threats, not further.
Golan shows why it must be held... 3/4

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
... 1/17
He said to his friend, — "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry-arch
Of the North-Church-tower, as a signal-light, —
... 2/17
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country-folk to be up and to arm."
... 3/17

Thread. We (US) should not “go to war” with #Iran, nor do we need to. 1/22
The #MiddleEast IS nevertheless our problem. Stability of entire human world depends on two fragile corridors in Eastern hemisphere being held open, safe, accessible by US power. 2/22
One corridor is South China Sea/Strait of Malacca. 3/22
