Maybe this is naive, but if the bombardment of storage sites had been successful, wouldn't there be huge radioactive fallout? So far, I haven't heard that this was the case.
As always excellent analysis well thought through. The Middle East is a meat grinder and has been so for 7,000 years. Once you jump in, there is only one way out.
The attack may not have destroyed Iran's enrichment facilities, but it did blow a big hole in the Bitcoin boat for the better part of the weekend. Given his involvement in cryptocurrency markets (the proverbial tip of the iceberg), it wouldn't surprise me if the timing was selected to maximize profits for immoral insiders.
Yes, thank you for another excellent summary and analysis. I find your input on these matters very helpful.
Addressing the political dimension: as seems to be typical of this administration, they tried to do something big and dramatic so that they could claim a "big win" but instead just made things much, much worse. The only recourse at this time seeems to impeach, & remove. Maybe enough of the isolationist MAGA crowd will be upset to make this possible. But that may just be a hopeful dream, though one that dies hard.
Real Reality not propaganda from the administration. This is a repeat episode of ‘w’s mission accomplished’ from 2003.
Mango always claims victory before the results are in. I wouldn’t believe anything coming from any government without photographic/video evidence from a third independent party. They are lying.
It was 100 feet down and the bomb went straight throgh to thre facility. You would expect the explosion to go straight up and not leave much on the suface
True! Iran was tipped off by Putin and moved the enriched uranium to other undisclosed locations weeks ago. Trump just bombed a mostly empty mountain. He knew it was empty and that the Iranians had already moved the Uranium. He was waiting for Putin’s signal and go ahead to do the bombing. This was all for show - it was staged. This was an agreement between Putin (whose business partners with Iran), Iran and Trump.
What does Putin get out of it you ask? Oil, dark money, drones - like I said Putin and Iran are business partners.
What does Trump get? He gets to look like a powerful leader - a tough guy - since everything he does and says turns to shit (pathetic little weasel). Trump bombed an empty mountain. Trump also now gets to go after the Muslim community and treat them the way he is doing with the Hispanics by terrorizing and deporting them under the guise that they are now “Iranian sleeper cells” looking to destroy this country in retaliation over the bombings of their nuclear facilities in Iran. MAGAts will be dumb enough to believe it. Mainstream media watchers just might believe it too. It’s all part of Trump, Miller’s and Whitcoff’s plan to ethnic cleanse this country of brown people. It’s all a farse to look powerful and round up some more folks for deportation. What does Iran get out of it? They were tipped off by Putin as Putin doesn’t want a regime change like Netanyahu does because they are business partners. They both benefit off of one another. The Iranians now get to keep their Uranium safe in undisclosed locations. They have no interest in bombing the mainland US but are not ruling out striking military bases in the region.
While mainstream media are wagging their tongues trying to sound like they know what they are talking about I assure you they don’t. This was all a set up.
Trump is now in big hot water with his MAGAt base. It is starting to fall apart. 1/2 of the MAGAts didn’t want him to start a war. Wasn’t he the one that promised there wouldn’t be a war? Everything Trump promised to his MAGAt base is now shown to be a lie. Are you having voter’s regret right about now???
Trump is being played like a card by Putin. The stupid fuck still doesn’t see it yet.
So the lesson to be learned here is DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE AND HEAR ON THE NEWS. Because there is a whole lot more going on behind the scenes than what mainstream media is telling you. In fact, mainstream media doesn’t even know what’s going on either.
Didn’t require a tip off from Putin. There were reports of all B2s being relocated to Diego Garcia weeks ago. This was in the plans for sometime and was clear to the Iranians with no help from Putin.
Thanks for this info. I guess this falls into the category of "Not so Fast". The idea that one bombing run would solve all our problems with Iran was naive to begin with. But this evidence makes a sick joke of the attempt and is just one more embarrassing flub for an embarrassing clueless politician/con man.
Just been listening to the Director of the IAEA in the UN Security Council. Looks like they have inspectors in Iran anyway and they hope to gain access to the targeted sites after a meeting tomorrow. It'll be interesting to hear if anything more is disclosed.....! 🤔

Well, our defense contractors got over on USA on that bullshit sale of those bunker busters for damn sure
It is too early for irrational exuberance or Nattering Nabobs of Negativism…
I’ll wait for a factual investigation and a report of the findings as to the disposition of the facilities.

Thanks for this. You remain my go to substack for information I can trust/
Excellent thread Michael, as expected rumored demise is greatly exaggerated!!

This administration has lost the privilege of trust a long time ago for me. I frankly don't believe anything they say.
Get rid of the fanatics leading this country to destruction.
Chris we agree at last! Trump, Bondi, Hegseth and Vance, right???
And Miller!!!
Yes please Chris!!
It was 100 feet down and the bomb went straight throgh to thre facility. You would expect the explosion to go straight up and not leave much on the suface
lol Chris read the expert explanations about what what bomb assessment experts say you would see.
What if all this wasn't about a potential nuclear bomb?
