I hate being right sometimes.
@brianbeutler In all seriousness, my greatest fear is how much damage Trump could do in the event of a pandemic.

Every major finding of the Mueller Report about Russia's effort to help Trump win in 2016 was echoed by the Senate Intelligence Committee Report released by Marco Rubio.
Quote: "Mueller’s family didn’t deserve the president’s grave dancing. None of Trump’s many enemies do. But Trump also didn’t deserve Russiagate. Nearly a decade after that phony scandal, our republic is still trying to recover."

This is quite a story about the enormous losses Russian forces are suffering. I have read the full Russian-language report linked below (I am a native speaker), and can confirm it amply documents these conclusions (based on original Russian military docs provided by an officer
We already knew the Kremlin was sending men to die in Ukraine. But a new @dossier_center investigation based on leaked military records shows it's far worse than anyone imagined. For soldiers in front-line assault units, the odds of surviving the war are approaching zero.

A fascinating answer from Gen Stan McChrystal to the NY Times on what he thinks about War Secretary Pete Hegseth's bravado culture. Worth remembering he commanded a green beret platoon, an airborne battalion and a Ranger regiment, before running Joint Special Operations Command.

@GernotKramper @RadioFreeTom The Marine Corps could seize Kharg Island, although at a serious cost, and once there they become a very attractive target. I think of Khe Sanh in 1968, where over 700 Marines and others died and 2500 were wounded defending a base of marginal strategic value.

Pres Trump's threat to hit Iran power stations should not happen. In addition to likely being a war crime & leading to Iranian retaliation across the region, it would hurt the Iranian people, who have suffered enough. Incomparably better to back off & start a serious dialogue.
