The Ukraineans have released their passnger list, it deviates significantly from that the Iranians claimed tio have. Iran sayid over 140 people were Iranians, only 30-40 foreigners, the Ukraineans say only 86 were Iranians, 63 from Kanada, 28 were of five other nationaities. Still, many Iranians on board. Woudl the regime kill so many of its own people for proaganda when it wants to use the attack as a carrier to deliver a message not to the Iranians but the West? I have a problem with the logic in this. As long as the message is not "See how willing we are to turn our own people into martyrs if it helps to kill some of yours." Nutty enough many people in the ME are to tick like this indeed.

One cannot say this night was short in events: in the early morning the region around the nuclear plant at Busher had an earthquake of 4.5 Richter.

Correct. But failure to have an independant investigation will fuel the conspiracy theories.

I wouldnt say we neglect HUMINT. Rather we had to develop and depend heavily on ELINT to see what was going on in the old Soviet Union. Thats the way it has always been with us and we've developed some pretty kewl toys since then too. Then there was the 2015 hack of the OMB security clearance data. I have no doubt that hurt our HUMINT network real bad by exposing the many people we may have used to furnish intel.

With the exception of letting Iran and others know we will play hardball, we will stand our ground, we will defend our embassies and we will target the head of the snake. It appears we are going back to business as usual.
Iran's response to Solemani's death was a joke nothing more than PR stunt.

I take it like
'I'm holding a gun at your head. I will shoot you if I must. Do you feel lucky?'

I admit I too had no real idea what to make of this news.
![]() There is an old Germn SciFi movie, the first movie made by Roland Emmerich after he finished film academy - "Noah's Ark Principle". Interesting parallels... ![]() Full movie with English subtitles. Solid movie, you can spend a nice evening with it. Quote:

Pretty much told them We don't need your oil.
That right there is a direct threat! ![]() Guess what would go BOOM first! The past Wars should teach you that take out the Oil? The machines are rendered non-working.
