I’m thankful for so much today. What’s top of the list? Reading just now that Patton once referred to Montgomery as “that cocky little limey fart” during WWII. Boys will be boys. 🤣

Here’s the deal with Ken Burns’s new documentary on the American Revolution: it is not “liberal” or “woke.” It is heathy balance between the flashy and white-washed elementary school and the dark and shameful narratives. It overdoes neither.

Just know that if you are knowingly or unknowingly pushing the Obama-made-up-the-Russia-hoax-narrative, you are damaging national security. It’s not true and it helps Putin, who by the way, tries to damage American national security daily. Don’t help the bad guys.

If you know the Epstein list exists, and you know the names, but claim you can’t reveal it or them because you are bound by confidentiality agreements (not related to national security) to remain silent…you are a moral coward and complicit.

For every 5 Germans killed on the battlefield during combat in World War II, the West (Britain, France, America, Canada, etc.) killed 1, the Soviets killed 4. That’s a perspective often ignored by the West because of the Cold War.

🤔 Germany lost WWI, in part, because it didn’t have ready access to oil in the same way as Britain, France, and Russia. Will the U.S. lose its next war because it doesn’t have ready access to energy for #AI like China?

Sometimes powers collapse b/c of indirect actions they do not see. We remember the birth of the New World in the 18th Century as a win for the West—and it was—but it also created sea-based trade routes that circumvented the Ottoman’s centuries-old land-based system. No trade, no empire.

Trump’s CIA just concluded the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election exhibited “strong adherence to tradecraft standards” and that its “analytic rigor exceeded that of most IC assessments.” It also did not dispute “the quality and credibility” of a CIA the original report.

🇹🇷🇲🇳🇰🇷🇰🇵🇯🇵 Did you know there exists a minority theory that the Turks, Mongols, Koreans, and Japanese share a linguistic and cultural history? It’s called the extended Altaic Language Family. More recent linguists don’t support the theory; interesting nonetheless.

History note of the day: 69 years after Mohammad’s death, 60% percent of the so-called Muslim Empire (really Arab Empire or Islamic Caliphate), was Christian.

😳 One potential outcome I fear going forward is Russia’s willingness to rebuild Iran’s nuclear program. Why? Because the only way to stop Putin from doing so is war, and I don’t see the American public agreeing to that…at least not now.

🇺🇸 No disrespect to my OSINT friends who work hard to bring all of us timely and accurate reporting, but yesterday’s misjudgment of B-2 locations should be a reminder that good analysis is multi-source. Conclusions drawn from single-source data are indicators, not analysis.

Hamas made a choice on October 7, 2023. With that choice came a desire for Israel to overreact, receive international condemnation, and crack from within.
Hamas miscalculated…and are responsible for losing—everything.
Poor choice.

🇮🇷 Iran will either close the Strait of Hormuz, or it won’t. There’s no value in dipping toes in the water. If they do, the U.S. is prepared. Planning for this event has been ongoing for years.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷There is no way Israel, under Netanyahu, stops now. As they say in AA, “Half-Measures Availed Us Nothing.” So, the question is, what does POTUS do to help keep the region stable as BiBi plows ahead while also meeting strategic objectives?
