You can get a whole ass PhD and teach at NYU and still believe Germany killed no Ukrainians in WWII. Amazing
The smoothest of brains.
“Germany abetting the wholesale slaughter of Ukrainians is a welcome break with its ugly past” sure is a fake and a half
Note that no historical debt here is apparently owed to Ukrainians because, to Galaxy Brains like this, they’re not a people independent of Russia, much less one that suffered any distinguishable harm at the hands of German militarism. A complete denial of agency & history.

My latest: Someone has spent the past four years creating fake Mossad recruiting websites and buying Google Ads to target them at intelligence and military veterans from Iran, the Assad regime, and Hezbollah. thedailybeast.com/shady-network-…
We found the sites while looking into a series of phishing domains that spoofed legitimate news organizations like Business Insider, Jerusalem Post, and the UAE-based Khaleej Times along with think tanks like the Quincy Institute, Stimson Center, Begin-Sadat Center, & Gatestone
Bit of a thread here. Meet "VIP Human Solutions," which pretends to be an Israel-based "consulting" firm interested in hiring intelligence & security veterans of the Assad regime & Hezbollah. They claim to offer big salaries & fast hiring for folks with the right experience. ImageImage

Welp. Treasury added one of the Iranian drone industry guys I've been following to its SDN list. Probably should've dumped my notebook on that beforehand. Been following Yousef Aboutalebi for a while. You're gonna wanna hit mute because this could go long home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/…
Treasury sanctioned the head of the IRGC drone unit who was responsible for the delta wing drone attack on the Mercer Street ship in the Gulf a few months ago. But they also hit my dude Yousef Aboutaleni, the CEO of Mado, the company that powered Iran's drones (they make engines)
Here's Yousef in happier times at the Damascus Air Show showing off Mado's collection of engines Image

So here’s a weird one for you, courtesy of @CalibreObscura & @Alsakaniali almasdaronline.com/articles/239284
Missile fragments from Yemen. At first blush it looks like the tail end of our new friend the Franken-drone-missile, Mr. 358, who comes from Iran.
But looks like a GPS puck way back here on its butt. And I had been led to believe otherwise

Missile found near Tuz Khurmatu Air Base in Iraq is a pristine Iranian 358, the hybrid surface-to-air munition/drone first ID'ed by Centcom from a seizure in Yemen. ImageImage
Compare & contrast with the imagery in UN POE report & Centcom slides undocs.org/en/S/2021/79 centcom.mil/Portals/6/Docu… ImageImage
In Yemen we've seen this launched at U.S. drones. Per NYT, those infrared lenses on the side are designed as to defeat infrared countermeasures on helicopters. So yeah, sure looks like someone tried to take down a helicopter or drone or (insert here) last night.

Our good friend Mohajer-4 A041-65 does not appear to have seen much action outside of the occasional expo appearance over the last eight years. 2013 vs 2021. Few scratches but still good enough for dog and pony shows. ImageImage
Same cannot be said for A041-65's buddy, A041-66. A041-66 had a very Forrest Gump like existence.
See, A041-66 was seen at that same 2013 delivery ceremony for the Yasir drone. Only unlike his number neighbor, 66 was in a bucket of parts and not fully assembled like 65. Image

Watching the 60 Minutes segment on the Oath Keepers and it occurs to me that, while we have breakdowns of Jan 6 rioters veteran status and patchy numbers on service background, we don’t know a lot about MOS. Specifically infantry vs not infantry.
Lots of references to why the Oath Keepers and other militia recruit veterans for tactical experience but it’d be nice to know if that’s actually born out by the data instead of just assumed.
“Are these people falling back on and passing along firsthand combat experience or are they trying to get it” seems like an important question from a recruitment & radicalization POV.
