USA Boots will follow the airstrikes. If the plan is to remove the regime, they simply have no choice but to place souls in direct harm's way. Taking on the Master's of Insurgency will be either a huge success or massive failure. 82nd Airborne highly likely to be engaged.

The still-active, rarely-discussed network of pre-1979 Persian oil & banking conduits (TotalEnergies legacy assets + old Anglo-Persian Oil Company banking channels) gives MI6 & DGSE deeper, more deniable human sources inside Iran's surviving technocratic & 'moderate' elite.

While everyone's fixated on Russia leaking strike plans and China feeding satellite intel to Tehran, here's the quiet Anglo-French edge nobody's shouting about on X. The real edge to make a Win.

I believe strongly that they will, even if the UK hides the fact.

Nobody on X points back to historical precedent..who shaped the modern Gulf Region? USA France UK The keys are shared, to win in Iran London and Paris must open the doors to the USA and share intelligence fully.

London/Paris could change the game for USA in it's Iran goals. To do this they must cease playing singular games and contribute the keys to the success of the USA led operations and in doing so win back that Special Relationship (UK) and regional power sharing (France).

Similarly France. Totale and UK Oil Companies, Cable Layers, Banking and other intelligence allied conduits all have major vantage over that of the USA. These historical ties hold the actual keys to changing Iran and saving thousands of Iranian and many hundreds of allied lives.

Whilst USA says UK isn't on the Intel sharing list for this adventure, I believe those words are hollow. UK is sharing but needs to pull it's finger out of it's ass and start working this to the benefit of the collective west not just UK advantage and Now, not next weekend.

This is why USA MUST lean into France and the UK not just Gulf allies for foreign intelligence services support with Iran. France and the UK have the keys.

CIA, Mossad and others do not hold all the cards they need to force surrender. Bombing Iran into the Stone Age won't solve this.

Now airports are being laid to waste in Iran by the USA and Israel. Next will be the ground consolidation the USA believes will force the hand of the Regime in Tehran. That is a calculated risk because of the layers of Hardliners it's not just a Supreme Leader driven apparatus.

82nd HQ and Standing Force exercises have been cancelled.

You were all expecting an Iran thread, sorry to disappoint. I will write one soon, and an angle not covered here on X. Too much or rather X is all noise. It becomes exhausting reading it, especially that written by many many people who should know better.

I've genuinely decided to step out from behind the curtain. It's taken a while to make this decision. I think others will appreciate it.

I welcome others. I've reached the point where I want to share. Iran and Venezuala give me opportunity as I'm in a minority having actually been to both multiple times. And retain those connects today. All on the side of the fence they are needed on.

I am engaging heavily in the Nefarious Brick Road Countries currently for my own HADR Hybrid related #WarFlowers program and for a Hedge Fund, a Security Company, one Government and a major Corporation.

David penned his first book before leaving 5 to go work for 6, choosing his cheesy and now famous pen name John Le Carre to hide his identity as a serving intelligence officer as he was writing books without permission. Craft in all it's forms. I've been crafted.

I'm also honorable to the rationale and reasons behind my adoption at such a young age and now I defend my network as rigorously as it defends, supports and protects me.

My network that has been given to me by these charges in life I mention is massive, useful, on the ground globally and relevant. It's official and quasi-official and fairly unique as it gives forewarning of things others rarely hear about. I'm blessed by adoption by these people.

My life is all about Real Signal and not OSINT if I don't know I won't guess or speculate. I'll plan around a desired outcome or hypothesis or military style mission goal. But the facts must be Signal based not Noise.
