I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

โEngrossing, fast paced and teeming with tension and atmosphereโ

New Review - a novella that very much took me to places I was not expecting and it is a creepy, weird and fantastical trip to enjoy. I highly recommend Crawl Space by Steve Toase out now! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/...
