In 1999, old, outdated maps and poor tradecraft led the @CIA to provide erroneous targeting data to the military, resulting in an airstrike on the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade that killed three Chinese citizens.
@Shayan86 @CENTCOM @DefenseIntel @CIA 4).
The C.I.A. wrongly assessed that the building was the headquarters of a Yugoslav arms agency.”

„At the Imam Reza Elementary School for boys in Abyek, a small city in the Qazvin Province, west of Tehran, security camera footage from Feb. 28 shows scenes from an ordinary morning. Some 40 boys play on the playground.

A few wander around, others linger by the soccer goal and a large group gather in a circle.

That was just hours after the first joint Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran, according to Iranian state media. Schools were still open.
3).
Then, the footage shows a large explosion at the top of the screen, where a communications tower stands on a hill.

The blast rips through the area, damaging the school. The footage shows windows shattering. Children run, some with hands over their ears.

The series of peculiar portraits of @realDonaldTrump are paraphrases of a painting [1] [2] by Francis Bacon (1909–1992) entitled „Study after Velázquezʼs Portrait of Pope Innocent X” from 1953 [3],

which – as the name suggests – is in turn is a version of the „Portrait of Innocent X” painted by Diego Velázquez (1599–1660) in 1650 [2].
@thegreatgig8 @atrupar @realDonaldTrump 3).
It should be emphasized here that „Saturn Devouring His Son” [4] is not only a version of Francisco Goya (1746–1828) [5] [6], but – due to the face of the Saturn-Trump monster – is also a reference to the work of Francis Bacon [4].
