My Quick Take on Iran/Israel...

CNN: Biden told Netanyahu US will not participate in offensive operations against Iran, US official says
CNN: Biden tells Netanyahu tonight was a win, nothing of "value" hit in Israel, US official says
FT: Western diplomats said Israel might be able to tolerate an attack that only did some physical damage to military facilities.

This was calibrated and coordinated by US and Iran with Oman in the middle relaying messages to both sides. The BIG question is if Netanyahu will agree to end this here, or if he will break with Biden WH and respond militarily to Iran.

👉 Reminds me of Soleimani affair.
Iran launched ballistic missiles at the al-Asad Airbase in Iraq in response to the assassination of Soleimani by a US drone.

Iran informed the Iraqi government of an imminent attack beforehand. Switzerland was relaying messages between US and Iran before the strike.

The strike was deliberately designed to avoid causing any fatalities in order to dissuade a US response. Iran got its big retaliation/strike on US airbase. Trump continued to say he took out Soleimani.
Escalation/war averted.

Trump says 5 day period of no attack on energy infrastructure in Iran.

Isn’t that the same time the marines arrive?

The more I think of it the more it sounds like the US is planning an all points assault. Send overwhelming missile attacks to the mainland send Marines on karg island in a shock attack. They are going for a DDay style strike. You know… shock and awe.

That’s the goal. Not sure of the effectiveness

What say you?

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
