veteranstoday--2020-01-12--Putin and Merkel screw up Netanyahu’s Iran plan

Both Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel obviously know that Benjamin has been running like a wild animal saying crazy things about the Iran nuclear deal .
The mad man in Tel Aviv has said ad nauseam that the nuclear deal is based on lies .
“ Iran did not come clean on its nuclear program , ” Netanyahu declared two years ago .
“ The deal is based on lies.
” [ 1 ] Netanyahu , like Wile E. Coyote of the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons , invented his own picture of a nuclear Iran and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2018 , Netanyahu went to work in order to prove that the Iran deal is based on lies .
In order to do that , Netanyahu had to invent his own lies : “ Atomic Archive : Iran ’ s Nuclear Files.
” Javad Zarif , Iran ’ s foreign minister , responded then by saying : “ BREAKING : The boy who can ’ t stop crying wolf is at it again .
Undeterred by cartoon fiasco at UNGA .
You can only fool some of the people so many times.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ at his best : “ After signing the nuclear deal in 2015 , Iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret files .
In 2017 Iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location in Tehran.
” [ 3 ] Netanyahu ’ s “ documents ” show that Iran ’ s nuclear plant was “ designed from the get go for nuclear weapons for project Amad.
” [ 4 ] Netanyahu continued : “ Iran lied about never having a secret nuclear program .
Secondly , even after the deal , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for future use .
Thirdly , Iran lied by not coming clean to the IAEA .
The nuclear deal is based on lies based on Iranian deception.
” [ 5 ] Who has the capability to decipher the “ documents ” that Netanyahu put on one beautiful slide after another ?
Only Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet and no one else .
In fact , not a serious intelligence agency has fully agreed with his crazy idea .
The only person who applauded Netanyahu was Donald Trump : “ U.S .
President Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after Netanyahu ’ s speech , said that Netanyahu ’ s speech ‘ showed that I was 100 % right ’ in criticizing the nuclear deal .
“ Prior to Netanyahu ’ s conference , Trump spoke with Netanyahu over the phone on Sunday to discuss the current situation in the Middle East , the White House said .
The reach out of their phone conversation stated that they ‘ discussed the continuing threats and challenges facing the Middle East region , especially the problems posed by the Iranian regime ’ s destabilizing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declared : “ In seven years that deal will have expired and Iran is free to go ahead and develop nuclear weapons .
Seven years is tomorrow .
I am not saying what I am doing , ( but ) it ’ s a horrible agreement.
” [ 7 ] One White House official declared then : “ This information provides new and compelling details about Iran ’ s efforts to develop missile-deliverable nuclear weapons .
These facts are consistent with what the United States has long known : Iran has a robust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has tried and failed to hide from the world and from its own people .
The Iranian regime has shown it will use destructive weapons against its neighbors and others .
Iran must never have nuclear weapons.
” [ 8 ] The interesting thing is that “ Netanyahu spoke on the phone this evening with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel about the information he revealed concerning Iran ’ s nuclear weapons program.
” [ 9 ] Netanyahu was just getting started .
“ Even after the deal was made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continued to preserve and expand its nuclear know-how for use at a later date.
” [ 10 ] So the death of the General Qassem Soleimani is the culmination of what Israel has been saying for years .
Netanyahu again declared back in 2018 , when the deal was taking place : “ This is a terrible deal .
In a few days time , President Trump will make his decision .
… I am sure he will do the right thing , the right thing for the United States , the right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for peace in the world.
” [ 11 ] But both Merkel and Putin have obviously rejected Netanyahu ’ s risible proposal by agreeing that the Iran nuclear deal stands !
Merkel declared that “ everything must be done to keep the JCPOA going.
” She will do everything in her power to use “ all the diplomatic tools to help this agreement.
” In a similar vein , Putin said : “ It is not perfect but it is still an agreement and it involves responsibilities for all the parties involved .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ 12 ] Keeping the Iran deal means Benjamin Netanyahu needs to take a back seat .
Merkel in particular must have had enough of Netanyahu ’ s perpetual lies .
As the Times of Israel itself put it back in 2018 : “ German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a decision by the United States to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal could plunge the Middle East into war .
“ During their January meeting on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an American withdrawal would also split the West , pitting the US and Israel against Germany , France , and the UK , along with Russia , China , and Iran , according to Israel ’ s Channel 10 news .
‘ Do you want that to happen ?
’ she was quoting as asking Netanyahu .
January 24 , 2018 .
( Amos Ben Gershon/ GPO ) .
Merkel also told the prime minister that Germany , the UK , and France will object to making any significant changes to the 2015 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran , said Netanyahu , will “ endanger the entire world , ” [ 14 ] but much of the world doesn ’ t give a damn about what the mad man in Tel Aviv is saying now because serious politicians know that this man is a pathological liar .
Let us hope that both Merkel and Putin continue to give the mad man in Tel Aviv some carrots and slowly kick him off the political stage .

PERSONAL FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA My prayers are with you as you navigate the complications of the Soleimani assassination .
I am delighted that the Iranians are now on record to the effect that no blood revenge will be sought if US forces are removed from the Middle East .

Now is the time for you to get your intelligence and counterintelligence house in order , along with the establishment of a grand strategy advisory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth channel , and an Open Source Agency ( OSA ) that becomes “ the President ’ s own ” and whose decision-support ( which is what intelligence is supposed to be ) can be shared with the public , Congress , the media , and foreign allies .
What you have today is not just worthless , it is toxic and constantly sabotaging your Presidency .
Enclosed is a compilation of my work over the past thirty years during which CIA has fought me every step of the way , while sabotaging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) efforts such as those of General Peter Schoomaker , then CINCSOC in Tampa .
It is intended for the distribution recipients to study , not as a burden on you .
On the next two pages are four graphics , which are all you need to make the decision : demand of OMB – which has twice approved an OSA at $ 2B a year – that this is immediately implemented .
It is my hope that you will invite Bill Binney and me to visit with you for a few minutes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as well – because I believe that the OSA ( along with # UNRIG election reform ) will assure you ’ re winning the mother of all landslides in 2020 .
I respectfully emphasize that OSINT , because it is strictly open , is of enormous political and economic value to you – it does domestic analysis and it does comparative trade .
If you allow me to build this as I envision ( memo in the book , fourth graphic ) , Open Source Everything Engineering ( OSEE ) will allow you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cost of the failed Western proprietary and financialization model , and then export OSEE globally , which is the perfect US response to the Chinese One Belt One Road strategic campaign .

Dear Mr. President,
My prayers are with you as you navigate the complications of the Soleimani assassination. I am delighted that the Iranians are now on record to the effect that no blood revenge will be sought if US forces are removed from the Middle East. I suspect you planned it this way, and your back channels to Tehran are working as they should.
Now is the time for you to get your intelligence and counterintelligence house in order, along with the establishment of a grand strategy advisory group, a Trump studio, a truth channel, and an Open Source Agency (OSA) that becomes “the President’s own” and whose decision-support (which is what intelligence is supposed to be) can be shared with the public, Congress, the media, and foreign allies. What you have today is not just worthless, it is toxic and constantly sabotaging your Presidency.
Enclosed is a compilation of my work over the past thirty years during which CIA has fought me every step of the way, while sabotaging successful military Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) efforts such as those of General Peter Schoomaker, then CINCSOC in Tampa. It is intended for the distribution recipients to study, not as a burden on you.
On the next two pages are four graphics, which are all you need to make the decision: demand of OMB – which has twice approved an OSA at $2B a year – that this is immediately implemented. It is my hope that you will invite Bill Binney and me to visit with you for a few minutes – perhaps Tucker Carlson and Lou Dobbs as well – because I believe that the OSA (along with #UNRIG election reform) will assure you’re winning the mother of all landslides in 2020.
I respectfully emphasize that OSINT, because it is strictly open, is of enormous political and economic value to you – it does domestic analysis and it does comparative trade. If you allow me to build this as I envision (memo in the book, fourth graphic), Open Source Everything Engineering (OSEE) will allow you to rebuild America at 20% the cost of the failed Western proprietary and financialization model, and then export OSEE globally, which is the perfect US response to the Chinese One Belt One Road strategic campaign.

From 1989 to 2019 — for 30 years — the author, himself a former CIA spy and Marine Corps intelligence officer as well as the senior civilian responsible for creating the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA), has sought to reform U.S. Intelligence.
The secret world costs the U.S. taxpayer over $100 billion a year, and yet, according to General Tony Zinni, USMC (then Commanding General of the U.S. Central Command engaged in two wars and twelve joint task for actions) provides “at best” 4% of what a major commander needs (to which one can add, and nothing for everyone else.

This book of readings provides all that is required to reform U.S. intelligence so that it might honor the Constitution and serve the President, the Cabinet, the Congress, and the public.
There is both evolution and repetition from one piece to the next. Highlights include the 1989 call for reform by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (ghost-written by the author); 1993 talking points delivered to the Director of Central Intelligence; a 2004 standing room only lecture to the Department of State; a 2007 standing room only lecture to Amazon; a 2009 briefing to the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence; the 2013 seminal chapter on the evolving craft of intelligence leaving behind secret war and strategic secret analysis to focus on creating Smart Nations full of citizen intelligence minutemen; a 2014 indictment of defense intelligence hand-delivered to the home of the Secretary of Defense; and the 2017 Memorandum for the President of the United States of America.
Everything in this book of readings is common sense and in the public interest. The fact that these ideas have been censored, marginalized, and actively repressed for 30 years tells us all we need to know about the relationship of the US secret intelligence community to the Deep State.
President Donald Trump appears to understand that radical change is required. The author — and his NSA counterpart William Binney — have stated publicly that we should be moving toward a reduction of the secret intelligence budget by up to 70%; consolidation of the surviving pieces in a restored Central Intelligence Agency (abolishing the Office of the Director of National Intelligence), and the creation of an Open Source Agency to serve as “the President’s Own” decision-support element with the added advantage that its findings are never secret and can always be shared with Congress and the public.

veteranstoday--2020-01-11--Venice: A Vacation Destination For Hundreds of Years

Health Editor ’ s Note : I have been there more than once .
Even got lost in Venice one late night .
Venice is an awesome place to visit , that is if it is not under water..See earlier post… Carol 14th-Century Illustration of Venice Is the Oldest Found Yet Friar Niccolò da Poggibonsi began his travelogue with a prayer .
Per a modern translation , he asked that God and all God ’ s saints “ bestow their grace ” so he might accurately describe all the holy sites , “ in order and without misstep , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ four years .
After departing Venice in 1346 , the Franciscan friar ventured to Jerusalem , Damascus , Cairo and Alexandria , writes researcher Kathryn Blair Moore in the journal Renaissance Quarterly .
Niccolò took notes on gesso tablets while he traveled , and when he returned to Venice in 1350 , wrote down his full firsthand account .
The oldest manuscript of the work and its illustrations , titled Libro d ’ Oltramare , now resides in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Florence .
It was here that Sandra Toffolo , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s University of St. Andrews , noticed an illustration showing the Italian city ’ s characteristic buildings , canals and gondolas .
The illustration is the oldest drawing of Venice yet discovered , excluding maps , the oldest of which dates to 1330 and was created by Fra Paolino , another Venetian Franciscan friar .
“ The discovery of this city view has great consequences for our knowledge of depictions of Venice , ” says Toffolo in a statement .

Friar Niccolò da Poggibonsi began his travelogue with a prayer. Per a modern translation, he asked that God and all God’s saints “bestow their grace” so he might accurately describe all the holy sites, “in order and without misstep,” that he had visited over the past four years.
After departing Venice in 1346, the Franciscan friar ventured to Jerusalem, Damascus, Cairo and Alexandria, writes researcher Kathryn Blair Moore in the journal Renaissance Quarterly. Niccolò took notes on gesso tablets while he traveled, and when he returned to Venice in 1350, wrote down his full firsthand account. The oldest manuscript of the work and its illustrations, titled Libro d’Oltramare, now resides in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Florence. It was here that Sandra Toffolo, a scholar of Renaissance Venetian history at Scotland’s University of St. Andrews, noticed an illustration showing the Italian city’s characteristic buildings, canals and gondolas. The illustration is the oldest drawing of Venice yet discovered, excluding maps, the oldest of which dates to 1330 and was created by Fra Paolino, another Venetian Franciscan friar. “The discovery of this city view has great consequences for our knowledge of depictions of Venice,” says Toffolo in a statement.

After a six-week expedition in 2013 and 2014, researchers have now described five new species and five new subspecies of birds in Indonesia. The ten-taxa haul, published today in the journal Science, marks the biggest discovery of new kinds of birds in over a century.
The team, led by ornithologist Frank Rheindt, focused on three small islands. Reviewing previous collection expeditions, Rheindt noticed that the eleven past trips were either brief or limited to the coast. None had ventured far inland or to high elevations, leaving behind an opportunity for discovery, so Rheindt focused his trip on those understudied areas. But rising wildfire risk and logging activity on the islands is already threatening the birds’ habitat.
“Our world needs a new impetus, a renaissance in biodiversity discovery,” Rheindt tells Jason Gregg at Audubon magazine. “We need more of that now because we can only conserve what we know.”
Birds are considered a well-known wing of the map of life, and on average only five or six new bird species have been described each year since 1999.

veteranstoday--2020-01-11--NEO: New Facts Change Everything, the Sickening Truth About Why Iran “Schooled” America

By Gordon Duff and New Eastern Outlook , Moscow ( established 1816 ) Information has come to light that indicts the United States not just for the Soleimani killing but also for the over 300 killings during the Iraqi protests in late 2019 .
In fact , it can be proven that the United States not only organized the protests but also is responsible for killing protestors as well , hundreds of them , something we have seen before , Maidan in 2014 , Libya in 2011 and Cairo in 2009 .
In each event , the killings of protestors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US .
Though evidence of false flag snipers in Maidan is overwhelming , this is the first real “ smoking gun ” that clearly establishes the US military as a terrorist organization .
The Soleimani murder , at the hands of Pompeo , Esper , and Trump , was much more than the simple hubris and ignorance most assume .
It is also assumed , quite wrongly , that the US occupation of the oil and opium rich lands of Asia is driven by national interest , at least to a part , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is false also , patently false .
The backstory behind the killing of Soleimani is rooted in the explosive riots and the mysterious murders that pushed Iraqi Prime Minister Mahdi to resign on November 30 , 2019 .
Mahdi had been in office a year and had been , for the first time , addressing Iraq ’ s massive corruption , an endemic problem with any nation that has the misfortune of being occupied by the United States .
Iraq has a Shiite majority that has slowly assumed political dominance after years of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it was Iranian General Soleimani who came to Iraq in 2003 to organize the Shiite militias , the current PMU , now part of Iraq ’ s Army , to fight alongside American forces that were overthrowing Sunni Baathist rule .
Trump claims he had Suleimani murdered for his part in the killing of Americans during this period , when in fact Suleimani was closely allied to the US , at least until the US decided to begin a war with Iran in 2007 .
However , this is another story for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deception and double-dealing .
Critical to understanding events is understanding America ’ s real role in Iraq .
To do that , it is necessary to understand why Iraq ’ s parliament voted unanimously to oust American troops .
The story behind this is much more than the death of Suleimani , far more , and has been suppressed .
That story involves a broader geopolitical narrative that transpired when Iraq under Mahdi tried to remove America ’ s heel from its neck .
Italian journalist Federico Pieraccini investigated the story behind Mahdi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recorded portion of which in no way answered any real questions about why Iraq would make such a drastic move as to expel American troops , ending the billion-dollar a year payoff scheme that fed so many Sunni politicians .
“ [ Speaker of the Council of Representatives of Iraq ] Halbousi attended the parliamentary session while almost none of the Sunni members did .
This was because the Americans had learned that Abdul-Mehdi was planning to reveal sensitive secrets in the session and sent Halbousi to prevent this .
Halbousi cut Abdul-Mehdi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and then asked for the live airing of the session to be stopped .
After this , Halbousi together with other members , sat next to Abdul-Mehdi , speaking openly with him but without it being recorded .
This is what was discussed in that session that was not broadcast : Abdul-Mehdi spoke angrily about how the Americans had ruined the country and now refused to complete infrastructure and electricity grid projects unless they were promised 50 % of oil revenues , which Abdul-Mehdi refused.
” That deal with China was the result @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to work with the United States after years of seeing his nation bled dry .
It is no secret that the United States had little or no role in fighting ISIS and , were one to ask the Shia majority of Iraqi citizens , most would insist that the US brought ISIS to Iraq with Saudi help .
In meetings with Sunni leaders , held in Baghdad in January 2014 , exactly what was explained to me , how ISIS was to offset Shia influence and guarantee Iraq would remain under US-Saudi control @ @ @ @ @ @ @ key military commands and provincial governorships , planned to simply turn affairs over to ISIS and , in fact , did so despite my warnings .
Months later , several I met with had been beheaded by ISIS .
“ What goes around comes around.
” As to Mahdi ’ s deal with China , that as we will see , precipitated the American staged coup , the following from the Middle East Institute : “ Upon arriving in Beijing on September 19 at the head of a 55-member delegation , Iraq Prime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China as heralding a “ quantum leap ” in bilateral relations .
The five-day visit culminated in the signing of eight wide-ranging memoranda of understanding ( MoUs ) , a framework credit agreement , and the announcement of plans for Iraq to join China ’ s Belt and Road Initiative ( BRI ) .
Since then , however , a wave of angry anti-government protests have swept across much of Iraq , leaving more than 100 dead and thousands wounded — a vivid reminder of the country ’ s ongoing struggle for stability @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consolidation of China-Iraq relations.
” These anti-government protests are attributed to threats made by Donald Trump , as we will see in the full text of Mahdi ’ s address to parliament , below .
The rationale is simple , the China deal was Iraq ’ s best effort to address unemployment and economic inequality , why would someone want to sabotage it ?
More on Mahdi ’ s leadership below , again from the Middle East Institute : “ Since early 2018 , the central government of Iraq has been working assiduously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Da ’ esh , which three years earlier had overrun and controlled nearly one-third of the country .
A working relationship between the GOI and the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government ( KRG ) has been reestablished .
After repeated delays due to a series of security incidents the newly constructed Qaim border crossing with Syria has reopened .
Planning for the construction of a new crude oil pipeline from Kirkuk to Turkey is underway .
Yet , although Iraq has entered a period of relative calm , the country faces a multitude of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country is fragile .
According to a recent report by the Pentagon , Da ’ esh has “ solidified its insurgent capabilities in Iraq.
” Meanwhile , the GOI is struggling to maintain a delicate balance in its relations with key allies US / Saudi Arabia and Iran , as well as to avoid becoming another front in an escalating Iran-Israel proxy war .
On July 1 , Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi issued a decree ordering the integration of all Iraqi militias , including the Popular Mobilization Units ( PMU ) .
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with an understandable timeline , can we adequately assess Trump ’ s blunder here .
But also , we can only asses the nature of Trump ’ s methods through an unedited translation of the nature of the critical exchange between Trump and Mahdi that led to Soleimani ’ s murder .
Finally , the complete address by Abdul Mahdi has been made available , which now fills the gaps the West has allowed to support the limited narrative fed to congress .
“ This is why I visited China and signed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the construction instead .
Upon my return , Trump called me to ask me to reject this agreement .
When I refused , he threatened to unleash huge demonstrations against me that would end my premiership .
Huge demonstrations against me duly materialized and Trump called again to threaten that if I did not comply with his demands , then he would have Marine snipers on tall buildings target protesters and security personnel alike in order to pressure me .
I refused again and handed in my resignation .
To this day the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the Chinese .
After this , when our Minister of Defense publicly stated that a third party was targeting both protestors and security personnel alike ( just as Trump had threatened , he would do ) , I received a new call from Trump threatening to kill both me and the Minister of Defense if we kept on talking about this “ third party ” .
I was supposed to meet him [ Soleimani ] later in the morning when he was killed .
He came to deliver a message from Iran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ delivered to the Iranians from the Saudis .
The Kingdom ’ s statement regarding the events in Iraq stresses the Kingdom ’ s view of the importance of de-escalation to save the countries of the region and their people from the risks of any escalation .
The kingdom of Saudi Arabia was not consulted regarding the US strike .
In light of the rapid developments , the Kingdom stresses the importance of exercising restraint to guard against all acts that may lead to escalation , with severe consequences .
Saudi Arabia is sending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Iran on behalf of [ Persian ] Gulf states .
The message will be : ‘ Please spare us the pain of going through another war ’ .
” It is also clear that Trump ’ s hubris in his wild threats against Iraq and his willingness to murder the foremost military leader in the war on terror is based on what American author and former CIA officer Robert David Steele calls the “ Cult of West Point Class of 1986 ” and Politico calls the “ West Point Mafia.
” Steele @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collection of “ bad apples ” as it were , has pushed Trump toward one failed endeavor after another .
From Stratfor : These are the geniuses that told Trump Iran had only old Soviet “ scud ” type missiles , with liquid fuel , no guidance , and poor reliability .
Of course , none have actual military experience other than as “ place holders ” and “ seat warmers.
” Then the surprise came , Iran ’ s missiles rained down on al Asad Air Base , easily pushing past America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ 0 ” hit .
Worse still , the highly advanced solid-fuel missiles from Iraq hit within not yards but within 10 feet of targets , actually much closer than that .
Similarly , when missiles plowed into the “ consular ” facilities , really weapons warehouses , at Erbil International Airport , in the Kurdish region of Northern Iraq , the US denied any hits claiming to have shot down two of three missiles and the other a “ wide miss.
” Then , as is so often the case , American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just south of the facility uploaded their video to YouTube .
Three missiles thee direct hits , dramatic explosions , which the Americans seemed to enjoy immensely .
We now enter a new world , not just one with America “ schooled ” but with America ’ s actual role exposed , occupier , terrorist , and thief .

Only with a broader context of events, with an understandable timeline, can we adequately assess Trump’s blunder here.
But also, we can only asses the nature of Trump’s methods through an unedited translation of the nature of the critical exchange between Trump and Mahdi that led to Soleimani’s murder.
Finally, the complete address by Abdul Mahdi has been made available, which now fills the gaps the West has allowed to support the limited narrative fed to congress.

Saudi Arabia is sending a delegation to Washington to urge restraint with Iran on behalf of [Persian] Gulf states. The message will be: ‘Please spare us the pain of going through another war’.”
It is also clear that Trump’s hubris in his wild threats against Iraq and his willingness to murder the foremost military leader in the war on terror is based on what American author and former CIA officer Robert David Steele calls the “Cult of West Point Class of 1986” and Politico calls the “West Point Mafia.”
Steele postulates that this single class, a collection of “bad apples” as it were, has pushed Trump toward one failed endeavor after another. From Stratfor:
“Since graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1986, the careers of Mike Pompeo, Ulrich Brechbuhl, Brian Bulatao, Mark Esper, David Urban and Mark Green have periodically intersected. Now they have converged in the Trump administration.”
These are the geniuses that told Trump Iran had only old Soviet “scud” type missiles, with liquid fuel, no guidance, and poor reliability. Of course, none have actual military experience other than as “place holders” and “seat warmers.”
Then the surprise came, Iran’s missiles rained down on al Asad Air Base, easily pushing past America’s Patriot missile defense system, “0” hit. Worse still, the highly advanced solid-fuel missiles from Iran hit within not yards but within 10 feet of targets, actually much closer than that.

Three missiles thee direct hits, dramatic explosions, which the Americans seemed to enjoy immensely.
We now enter a new world, not just one with America “schooled” but with America’s actual role exposed, occupier, terrorist, and thief.


veteranstoday--2020-01-13--Israeli concern about targeting Ben Gurion Airport during upcoming Lebanon Attack

An Israeli military expert revealed , “ The Israeli message of shooting down the Ukrainian plane in Tehran ’ s airspace last week , means that the Israeli Ben Gurion Airport in the next war will be closed , and Israel has received such a message in previous wars with hostile organizations that possess heavy and accurate missile capabilities , which It has made its airspace more risky than in the past .
“ Amir Oren added in his report on the Wella news website , translated by “ Arabi 21 ” , that “ the next military tour will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world by targeting its international airport , because the Ukrainian plane crash gives Israel an opportunity to learn lessons and lessons in preparation for the next war , whether against a party God , or Hamas , or Syria , or Iran , and who knows , maybe everyone will participate in this war .
“ He stressed that “ civil airports inside Israel will be closed during the next war , especially Ben Gurion Airport , knowing that Israel lived in the last war with Gaza , the steady escarpment in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when a missile fired by Hamas fell a kilometer and a half outside the airport wall This prompted the international airlines to stop their flights for two days , and that constituted a military achievement for Hamas .
He pointed out that “ what happened with Hamas in the 2014 war provides a model for what may happen in the next war , whether with the northern enemy in Lebanon , or the east with Iran , which are heavily armed with massive missile arsenals .
Today , after five years of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ field appears The Israeli airspace is more dangerous , and its threats are becoming easier than before , given that Israel possesses various types of missile systems .

Amir Oren added in his report on the Wella news website, translated by “Arabi 21”, that “the next military tour will find itself cut off from the outside world by targeting its international airport, because the Ukrainian plane crash gives Israel an opportunity to learn lessons and lessons in preparation for the next war, whether against a party God, or Hamas, or Syria, or Iran, and who knows, maybe everyone will participate in this war.”
He stressed that “civil airports inside Israel will be closed during the next war, especially Ben Gurion Airport, knowing that Israel lived in the last war with Gaza, the steady escarpment in the summer of 2014, such a tragedy, when a missile fired by Hamas fell a kilometer and a half outside the airport wall This prompted the international airlines to stop their flights for two days, and that constituted a military achievement for Hamas.
He pointed out that “what happened with Hamas in the 2014 war provides a model for what may happen in the next war, whether with the northern enemy in Lebanon, or the east with Iran, which are heavily armed with massive missile arsenals. Today, after five years of the war of steadfast escarpment, the field appears The Israeli airspace is more dangerous, and its threats are becoming easier than before, given that Israel possesses various types of missile systems.”
He revealed that “hostile organizations and countries may target Israeli airports through surface-to-surface, surface-to-air missiles, drones, military aircraft that can camouflage as civilian aircraft, and other combat means available in civilian markets.”
He explained that “Israel announced that in the next war against Lebanon it will target its infrastructure, in order to compel the Lebanese government Hezbollah to stop the war, and when Israel talks about targeting Lebanese infrastructure, it implies Beirut airport, while Hassan Nasrallah has recently been reiterating his threats By targeting ammonia reactors in the Haifa Bay, through missiles, they may be directed toward Ben Gurion Airport.”
He added that “in the coming war, international airlines will be forced to cancel their flights towards Israeli airports, and insurance companies will shirk from their financial and compensatory responsibilities, knowing that moving the civil airport towards southern Israel may not benefit much, because there are airports within the range of missile shells, and they may strike them, It also affects the Mediterranean ports from targeting, and in this case, the merchant ships will be far from the ports of Haifa and Ashdod, with the exception of the port of Eilat.
