I agree with his assessment: Mullahs are getting desperate:
 

 

 

So... their position is: Give us everything we want, then we'll talk about modifying the deal that we have no interest in modifying?

 

Yeah, pass.

That’s how liberalism deals with every potential conflict, give in instantly to your children every single time and up the ladder to nations

What the Frack happened to 

 

AMERICA FIRST? 

 

Trump administration plans to divert $40 million in aid to Venezuela's opposition

(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration plans to divert more than $40 million in humanitarian aid for Central America to support the U.S.-backed opposition in Venezuela, according to an internal document obtained by Reuters on Tuesday.

The $41.9 million had been destined for Guatemala and Honduras, two of the three Central American countries at the center of a migration crisis in which thousands of people have fled poverty, violence and corruption and attempted to cross the southern U.S. border.

 

All those bad hombre's and rapists and gang members

Sanctions at work.

 

Until the people rise up to the Religious Leaders the only ones bothered by the sanctions are the common folk

That's not true, Shady. The Mullahs and the IRGC have been feeling the pinch far worse. The people want them gone, and we're doing what we can (without war) to support their efforts.

I've seen this before.  

 

When they overthrow the Mullahs and the IRGC then I'll believe sanctions worked. 

 

Maybe I'm mistaken ...  Aren't the Iranians smuggling oil to North Korea also under heave sanctions?

You haven't though (unless you're older than I think and lived through the CIA backed revolt). Last time there was this level of uprising, the US President backed the Mullahs, not the people. 

 

Because he wanted a nuclear deal that would do nothing to prevent Iran from getting a bomb.

Trump just said Mexico has 21K troops at the border (he didn't clarify which border, north or south, or if they are split) during his rally in North Carolina. 

I wonder if Mexico is paying for that human wall?

Argentina brands Hezbollah terrorist organization, freezes assets
 

Argentinian authorities designated Hezbollah, which it blames for two attacks on its soil, a terrorist organization on Thursday and ordered the freezing of the Lebanese Islamist group’s assets in the country.
 

The announcement coincided with a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as Argentina marks the 25th anniversary of the deadly bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in which 85 people died. Argentina blames Iran and Hezbollah for the attack. Both deny any responsibility.

This is a bigger deal than the media will let you believe. Hezbollah has carved out spheres of influence in South America, primarily in Honduras (post the Clinton backed coup) and Argentina (which... is interesting). This was allowed to happen under the last administration's watch because they didn't want to risk pissing off the Mullahs and their deal.

 

If Trump's administration wants to shut down the trafficking pipelines of drugs and humans into this country, getting Argentina and Honduras to step up is fundamental. Honduras will have a harder time of it as Argentina is more stable at the governmental level.

Did we shoot it down or did the rubber band just snap?

 

Sounds like the rubber band snapped after it was microwaved.

 

Actually, an electronic kill is kind-of impressive.  Could just be a jammed control channel...but modern ECM systems can spike a platform and fry the onboard electronics.

It's not even fully operational yet, not until October.  The program is on-time, and under-budget.

 

And the radar straps to the Marine JLTV.  The jammer itself is a backpack system.

 

We only hear about DoD acquisitions when they go wrong.  But programs like this...when acquisitions goes right, it goes really right.
