CIA director went to Moscow to warn them OFF future plans that we apparently know about?
‼️‼️🇺🇸🇷🇺 CIA Director John Ratcliffe may have arrived in Moscow with a direct warning for Vladimir Putin: the United States knows about Russia’s potential plans and advises the Kremlin not to implement them.

WOW! The Treasury Dept just became the lead agency in the war against Iran...
IF! IF we have the most powerful military on the face of this planet then why can't we close the deal against technologically inferior nation states? Iraq and Afghanistan were both painful slogs without a satisfactory outcome. Before that you could say the same for Vietnam and maybe even Korea. Now we're faced with Iran and it ain't looking rosey folks.Iran’s leadership is admitting what the world can now see: the pressure is working.

President Masoud Pezeshkian acknowledged Iran’s economic shortages, saying, “The war must come to an end at some point.”

IF! IF the issue isn't with the troops or the gear then it swings toward leadership.
IF! IF its a leadership issue then you have to ask if its civilian or military leadership that is the problem.
Looking at Iraq & Afghanistan I come down solidly on the side of a failure of civilian leadership of BOTH parties. IMO Bush Jr was a fucking idiot. Obama didn't cover himself in glory. Trump didn't shine either. Biden? Biden was a fucking disgrace who lost his damn mind midway thru his term and his "camp followers" were even more pathetic.
But we don't know what advice they were given by our military leadership either so maybe they aren't as bad as I'm thinking.
Either way we have a serious problem.
We like to think that as jacked up as the federal govt is, at least the DOW is semi-capable.
I'm not so sure it is.
Now we have an apparent changing of the guard. Instead of a war being won by the DOW while being supported by the rest of govt, it seems that the Treasury Dept has taken the lead while the Services attempt to reset while engaging....if you can call an extended ceasefire as engaging.

The Mothers Of America have raised their heads on the Carrier Lincoln "issue"
Ya know what I find funny? No other ship in that carrier strike group is having these issues (or reporting them). That makes me think it might be a "command thing". Haven't heard a peep from the MEU's either. A little sauce for the goose?According to this family member from a deployed sailor on the Abe, her son “didn’t sign up to be on a boat in the middle of the ocean.”

WTF are we teaching these kids? His job is precisely that…boats in the ocean.
It’s not just a job or educational benefits, it’s a frikking… pic.twitter.com/q3u3Wn6Tbl

Trans & Muslims battle in the UK
Interesting. I know that the gay community have been strong supporters of Muslims in the US/Europe with conservatives stating that if they only knew....well now they do at least in the UK and the results are less than optimal for the trans folks. Can this be labeled a FAFO moment?Clashes between trans people and Muslims in Britain. pic.twitter.com/OJDBO0BtGw
