Iran does not approach the scale of future threats. @HaydenLudwig97 lays out the scope of the China threat for @NewsRestoration. China is racing to be ready for conflict over Taiwan, with no bias towards wars of the past.

🚨 My latest in @FDRLST: Operation Midnight Hammer was a success—but future victories require decision space. We need a drone fleet that can win before the shooting starts. That means investing now, not scrambling later.

RT @AndrewBeckUSA: The events of the past weeks don’t really compute with this POV. Iran needs to be seen as the torchbearers of the Islami….

A gracious act of ecumenism from @AmReformer of which I am equally grateful and undeserving.

Admiral Donnelly is up for promotion again, this time to command 7th Fleet. Once the commanding officer of a ship that hosted military drag shows, if confirmed, Admiral Donnelly will be at the helm of one of the most important Navy commands. His support for drag shows was how.

🚨NEW: I joined @DailySignal's Signal Sitdown with @bradleypdevlin to talk war, peace, and American power. We break down Operation Midnight Hammer, Trump’s restraint doctrine, the drone race, and why war isn’t a video game. 🎧 Watch + read: .

The future of denuclearizing Iran looks like a negotiated settlement or significant escalation. The President understands the only realistic and feasible option is a deal. Loved talking it over with @docMJP and @Jill_Savage.

My grandmother and my Mom went to a protest against the Iraq War in Chicago some weeks before the invasion in 2003. This image is nearly sacrosanct in our family. America discovered the perils of forgetting the fact that peace is patriotic in the 23 years since that protest. I

Great discussion on @Timcast about the range of options for US involvement in Iran. I don’t think anyone wants America to use nuclear weapons in a first strike.

This is an important consideration. Bunker busters are imperfect, so destroying enrichment facilities with air strikes would involve a host of aircraft and strikes to provide for appropriate redundancy. But that comes with a lot more supporting assets exposed to air defense.

Interventionists turn reasonable debate into a series of events that necessitate the next. Mission creep. First, it was enough to morally and defensively support Israel. Next, we needed to execute precision strikes. Now, we may as well finish the job with regime change.

Numerous officers coming up for promotion with a long track record of explicit support for DEI. The admin must remain vigilant.

The discussion of end state is important because it can clarify the implications of US involvement. If Israel expects regime change, then the US bombing Fordow only implicates us in a war meant for different ends that will continue anyways, and almost certainly escalate.

An escalatory spiral currently consumes the Middle East that risks direct US involvement. The end state is an Iran without a nuclear bomb, and deal is the only way to get there without immense bloodshed. Grateful to join @DanielLDavis1 on @JesseBWatters

There are already 40,000 American “boots on the ground” in the Middle East who become legitimate military targets the minute the US directly supports offensive Israeli military action against Iran.
