Trump says he bombed Iran

If Hezbollah wasn't attacking Israel, then Israel wouldn't be 
talking about having to go in.

Lebanon was hostorically a Christian country until about 10 years ago. Now the Muslims make up over 50% of the population.
That's a lot of Hezbollah!

So I can see how land & resource grabs would fit in with his strategy and goals

I can see him trying to get Gaza back.   That was a bad deal on the part of Israel.
I can see him trying to get Judea and Samaria back.  That was a bad deal as well.
Other than that, Israel only has 7 million Jews.  
If they tried to take over Jordan and half of Iraq like that map says, the world would laugh.
It is impossible.

I follow several Israeli accounts on X
Apparently, this is the first time Netanyahu has addressed the nation since the war started
Their posts expressed a lot of anger and frustration 
They've spent 2 weeks in and out of shelters 
Suffering from shellshock
They said he expressed no concern for their wellbeing or safety
His biggest concern is being pardoned
Also, he wants a ground war with Lebanon

Not only that,
They're saying his speech was recorded from a Zoom call
And it looked AI generated 
They're sharing screenshots of his hand with 6 fingers

A few days ago
Iran claimed to have killed Netanyahu and his brother 
Now conspiracy theories are floating over the possibility of that claim being true

I was just thinking... I come on here and all I read about is the mystery of Iranian leadership, I go on YouTube and my account is full of videos about the mystery of the Israeli leadership! Thanks for this post. I admit, after what I saw yesterday, I have been tentatively anticipating either a) announcement of Bibi's death b) word of a nuke going off or c) the return of Bibi in some form or other. (was it Kim Jong Un whose 'death' almost touched MSM 3 or 4 years ago, until his re-emergence a few days later?).

There's a lot of stuff out there showing missiles getting through Israel's supposed shields, lots of analysis of the weapons types etc but there's a 'certain uncertainty' about the source that leads me to say no more (AI?) . This was going on for several days, then yesterday I saw a few things that led me to my abc multiple choice scenario above. I saw a series of reports that Bibi's home address had been hit by a particular type of new mega Iranian ICBM and a report (linked with CNN) claimed the high chain commanders were in deep discussion about their next move and a quote "it will not be defensive..." was attributed. 

I carried that information with me all day in a rather stunned state of stupor. I checked from time to time for updates, or some sort of confirmation of something on the ground up and then in the evening, a few familiar faces started presenting videos covering at least the missile attacks: Jimmy Dore for one. George Galloway also stated in a short video, what you said above, Cherokeetroy.... direct correspondence with friends in Tel Aviv whom he had spoken to. 

All this was so deeply absorbing I've not taken any time at all today to sift through a bunch of other YT 'reports' I've got lined up, perhaps for later this evening?

I’m sure the military planned for it.  It’s probably the commander in chief who ignored the plans.  He always thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room even though he rarely is.

Seems like you are describing a person who is easy to manipulate.

The thing about thinking you are the smartest person in the room is that pride blinds you.

Which makes you predictable.

And causes you to underestimate others.

Especially so where strategy is concerned.

And that's a serious liability....

Messy Messy Messy.
Their airforce and navy may be gone, 
But this isn't ending anytime soon.

Drone Boats Ram Oil Tankers and Mines Deployed

Iran is deploying explosive-laden drone boats disguised as wooden fishing vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, a defense expert has warned — a move that signals a new phase of hybrid maritime warfare in one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes.

 
Cameron Chell, CEO of drone technology firm Draganfly, spoke after the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) confirmed that a Marshall Islands–flagged oil tanker was struck March 1 by an Iranian unmanned surface vehicle north of Muscat, Oman.

I have a friend who lives in Tel Aviv
and I follow a lot of Israelis on social media 

Some info gets through but there are threats of fines and penalties across the Middle East (including Israel) for posting & sharing images & info online

In the US, we're getting a very restricted, myopic view of the full extent of what's going on

But the reality is that military planning is a function of the military itself.

It doesn't matter if the idea is ridiculous, because hind sight is a damning thing.

A military's capabilities to serve requires it to be prepared... planning outrageous campaigns is part of the war-games we see them perform as a matter of course.

But its' "use" via unqualified exposition - within another narrative context, needs to be a point of awareness.

Problem is, some people stubbornly believe the 20th-Century doctrine that to control the airwaves is to control the truth...

which has become an embarrassing practice - demonstrating only how much propaganda has been the 'order of the day' for the political class.

Too bad we only have the corpse of journalism to stare at.

Five years jail time in Israel if anything posted online. Saw that on a couple of Fox news reports, at least, plus other sources.

Yikes!

I'm sure somewhere on Earth, I might have a presence way down on some "suspected jerk" list.

A lot of MSM and social media consolidation has been happening under tech billionaires too. They no younger people don’t watch TV anymore so they’re trying to control the algorithms as well.

Hegseth openly celebrated Ellison getting CNN. 

I haven’t watched any TV in years, much less CNN, but it shows this is an effort that goes beyond just a few rich people.

Obviously this isn’t new to this admin, just more blatant.
