“Astonishingly, President Trump and his aides were caught unprepared when Iran, under air assault from the United States and Israel, retaliated by targeting shipping in the Persian Gulf region and specifically through the Strait of Hormuz. Military planners have pointed out for decades that the waterway—through which one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passes—is highly vulnerable to Iranian assault. But the Trump administration acknowledged in classified briefings, CNN reported last night, that it did not make provisions for a closure because officials assumed that such a move would hurt Iran more than the United States.



“In its failure to anticipate Iran’s reaction, the administration ignored a dynamic that former Defense Secretary James Mattis, a first-term Trump appointee, was fond of pointing out: Once hostilities begin, ‘the enemy gets a vote.’ U.S. leaders have drastically underestimated the Iranian regime’s ability to survive, adjust, and strike back. Just two weeks into a war that began at a time of the president’s choosing, the U.S. appears uncertain about what to do next.”

Donald Trump ignored several intelligence warnings about the potentially disastrous consequences of launching a war against Iran, according to a report. 

Details of an Oval Office meeting in February, leaked to the Wall Street Journal, reveal that the president sought advice on whether an all-out attack to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and force regime change could work.

During the meeting, then-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told Trump that a Middle East conflict would see Iran close the crucial Strait of Hormuz shipping route, cause oil and energy chaos across the world, and that killing Iran’s supreme leader would result in a replacement who would push harder for Tehran to acquire nuclear weapons.


Trump had also received similar warnings from top military leaders that a war on Iran would result in multiple deaths and a severe dwindling of U.S. munition stockpiles. Despite this, Trump joined Israel in launching an attack on Iran on Feb. 28, with each of the predictions surrounding the conflict coming true.

You are owed one more spam. I will do it on an OP that isn't PG. Enjoy.

An Iranian drone barrage slammed into the CIA station in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh. Foreign operatives also targeted a secondary American intelligence facility situated in eastern Iraq, pummelling key intelligence assets early in the conflict. 

Iran has launched more than 2,000 missiles, drones and airstrikes during the war, hitting at least 20 U.S. government sites across eight countries. These strikes were aided by satellite surveillance imagery handed over from Russia and China, as well as electronic intelligence from Vladimir Putin’s regime

Russia -----> Caspian Sea
China --->overland routes originating from Urumqi

The U.S. is Not Present at the Caspian Sea.

• Landlocked Geography: The Caspian Sea is an enclosed, landlocked body of water with no direct connection to the open global ocean.

• Legal Prohibitions: The regional legal framework—specifically the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea—explicitly bans military forces and warships from non-littoral (non-Caspian) countries, meaning the U.S. and NATO cannot deploy naval assets there..

• Regional Control: The basin is controlled militarily by littoral states, primarily Russia and Iran, making any direct U.S. naval deployment a high risk for direct military conflict.

Look at a map, you dumb mother ****

Shut the **** up, *******.

The woman said other people were present, but she couldn’t recall who. Trump asked them to leave the room, then said “something to the effect of, ‘Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be,’” according to the interview notes. Trump then unzipped his pants and put her head “down to his penis,” she recalled in the interview. She said she “bit the **** out of it.” In response, she said he pulled her hair and punched her on the side of her head.

Another alleged bitch that can't recall why, when, or where, and you suck it up like a thirsty mule.

Putin sees U.S. as weakened by Iran war, intelligence reports say

The classified assessment of the Kremlin’s thinking preceded CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s secret trip to Moscow this week.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national ... ports-say/

Just so you know, DUMB ****, the BEST spies in that region, Estonia, sees Russia as on the verge of an uprising and removal of Putin more than possible.

MOST Russians see the war in Ukraine as something they are NOT in favor of, the Russian economy is on the brink of terrible inflation since a lot of their economy is being gobbled up by their war, and SOCIALISM isn't working like promised!!

So, MORON, your little **** 'article(s)" are totally garbage and a waste of bandwidth and designed ONLY for the mental midgets like you with MASSIVE TDS!!

It would be a FAR BETTER THING if you closed off the manipulation and started reading ACTUAL REPORTS from sources you've been instructed to dismiss since it's not pushing the narrative your handlers want you to hear.
