In terms of the actual Kurdish incursion it has two issues, first, the actual capacity of the Kurdish groups, which isn't that much, especially after repeated overextensions and bruising defeats in the last decade. Then you have the KRG leadership which doesn't wanna die and won't want to allow it

I'm incredibly incredibly skeptical that any of this goes anywhere. The CIA stuff is odd, because they're constantly running weapons through the KRG, it seems like trying to retcon things to create conditions. The specific plan appeared the other day and I don't think it was planned.

I mean I'm not actively asking around my sources, but I'm pretty networked into Kurdish gossip networks and I'm pretty sure I would have heard if there was anything real going on

It's almost certainly not true, very much the Israelis trying to create conditions on the ground and will this into reality by announcing it's happening

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

The big difference between the US and Brazilian/Korean case isn't that voters care less about democracy. It's that American elites basically did not care about it after two weeks

Four men in unredacted files named by Ro Khanna have no ties to Epstein The men appeared in a photo lineup assembled by the southern district of New York and had no apparent connection to the late sex offender

NEW: Reps Khanna and Massie pushed the DOJ to unredact a file in the Epstein files. Then Khanna read four men's names from it in a House floor speech, calling them "wealthy and powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason." /

Two Congressman named a group of men as Epstein's co-conspirators. While two of them, Sultan Bin Sulayem and Les Wexner, are well known associates of Epstien, the other four appear to have no connection to him at all.
