Postcards from the front. Battlefield Nevada.

This is your intrepid reporter Murfster35, coming to you live from Vegas beach. The media missiles are flying overhead with increasing frequency, the battle is in doubt, but the body count won’t be known until November 6th. Here we are, 27 days from D-Day. I thought it might be both...

Surprisingly, the Louisville Courier Journal reported this item today about Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul: Sen. Rand Paul reportedly plans to file an amendment on Wednesday to change several executive orders that would lift U.S. sanctions on Russian lawmakers and allow them to travel to America. Paul had met with...

Israel Appears To Be Launching A Major Operation In Syria

This evening — the same evening that Trump announced the termination of the Iran deal, and shortly after Netanyahu’s return from Moscow – Israel has started launching a wave of heavy missile strikes within Syria, in retaliation for an Iranian missile strike against Golan. What are they targeting? In addition to things that...

Assessing the damage in Syria (not a liveblog): First analysis

A new day. Information will trickle out over time, but let’s begin with what we know now. Let us start with the Pentagon briefing. They focus their maps and discussion on just these three sites. We’ll get into secondary sites a bit later. They offer the following before-and-after comparisons of...

NOTE: If you’re a “ChemTruther”… if you disagree with Amnesty International, the OPCW, WHO, MSF, the UN (breakdown), and all public evidence about past attacks, and are here to do the same about the most recent one… leave. You’re not welcome here, any more than a 9/11 Truther would be...

No lead-in needed; we all know what’s happened, and we all know what looks to be in the works. Let’s get into the news, but first, let’s get into the players (if you already know all this, feel free to skip): Syria / Assad: No introduction needed. Controls generally the...

As prepared for delivery by the president (provided the president is not named Donald Trump), February 12, 2018.

Preparations for a potential war in Korea continue: week in review

After having initially been delayed by technical problems, the USS Ronald Reagan has joined the Carl Vinson off the Korean peninsula for military drills, including drilling with the ROK navy. The drills include anti-DPRK commando strikes, anti-submarine and anti-aircraft operations, and strikes with air-launched and submarine-launched cruise missiles. It had been no...

Geotagging the Shayrat airbase attack: what hit and where.

Perhaps I’m a glutton for punishment, but I went ahead and geotagged the entire tomahawk strike on the Shayrat airbase. Now you can see at a glance what areas were struck (and with what level of confidence), and (to the best that can be determined with public images and information) what struck...

Daily Kos goes into full “Conspiracy Theory Mode” after attacks on Syria.

I rather can’t believe how much Daily Kos is sounding like Sputnik these days: “FEEBLE US ATTACK DOES NOTHING!” . It’s the same everywhere: Meh, just a couple people dead (insert-lowest-cited-figure-from-any-source). Just a old planes destroyed (insert-lowest-cited-figure-from-any-source). Hit a couple rocks, you know, nothing. They packed up everything and moved! False...

How's about a for-profit DK Air Force ??? Privatize the $3,285,000,000/year for bombing ISIS

The news banners brag that U.S. Air Force spends $9,000,000 a day bombing ISIS. That's for 20 bombing attacks a day and Very Low Risk bombing missions. U.S.A.F. has never lost a plane over there. How's about a new Group here? A profit center for Our Favorite Web Site. DAILY...

See evil. This goes to May 14th when the U.S. military does surveillance and gets all the proper details: how many truck bombs, how many ISIS fighters came in, how many guns. How the attacks formed up. Then they did nothing about it. Same on the 15th. On the 16th...

M198 rules !! Coalition occupies Tikrit for a dozen casualties. 200 ISIS dead, no in-city prisoners

Of course the Department of Defense claimed this is “with American help.” A handful of smart missiles hit targets, but the big help was the old M198 155mm field guns. The contested area was the southwest section of the city. The Iraqi-Iranian battle plan formed up a couple weeks ago...

All in all this looks to have been the worst week for the Islamists since May of 2011 when Osama bin Laden was killed and his files and computers were seized in the same raid. For every Saudi/GCC proxy in the area, they're in trouble. All across the board they're...
