[Daily Mail, where American gets its news] Utter nonsense. It wasn’t about nobly repudiating war crimes, but about viciously ganging up to destroy the sergeant who had required them to live up to the SEAL standards of performance, and to keep him from getting the Silver Star he’d earnt despite them.

No mention of officers, measures to facilitate unit cohesion, or leadership responsibility. War crimes are not an option.
These are small elements. Malcontents and non-team players can be quickly identified. They are sailors first. Reassign them to less stressful, less demanding units back in the rear with the gear. Do it quickly.

Right. There is no place for dissension in specialist units. Whoever is of two minds must be given their cushy asshole desk and left to play the staff games.

As mentioned here yesterday I believe, the political component must always be examined. Lieut Morrant's grave in Church Street Cemetery, Pretoria lies vandalized and unlike the foto, overgrown and weed infested.
#5
From the Daily Mail title, no political agenda there whatsoever...
B, thank you for the Lieut Morrant reminder. A friend to me to see "Breaker Morrant" movie in 1980. Chilling story of battlefield politics worthy of Obama's military today.

No they don't. The rest of the teams know that many of team 7 were dirtbags. After the deployment, most of the dirtbags were quietly reassigned to desk jobs or allowed an early ETS.

So we are going to listen to the gospel from some left leaning anti American rag? Really, so lets break this down. He goes on trial. The team seems split in the court room on him. The guy that spoke out against him loses his slot at team Six. The medic, prosecutions ringer, get immunity to testify and then confesses to the killing. Looks to me like team 7 played this like some B movie plot and won. The team was tight, everyone played their part, and he is free from prison. A win win for team 7 after some do gooder let it get out of control. I wonder where the guy that blew the whistle on him is now...

Cool. Nothing spells NATION like rolling treads and marching boots. Maybe a fly past. Give the left something to whine about until next termelection. While they deplete their own voter base because it'll trigger them Guaranteed to say something about the military and nazism/fascism.
And remind a directionless, confused generation of their identity. And initiate a trend that not only ups the interest and aspirations of a young generation; maybe not this parade but others after it will surely see more youth applying for the military. From a mass psychology standpoint, it's a great decision. As always, the left, in blind scorn will say he's just impressed by the police republics he visits.
I always wanted to see an American military parade and the effect it has on others. I think the last one was in Bush's time, after or during the war.

I am not of the left. I do give those in the military the highest respect. But I give credit where it is due, to God who gives life and peace, not machines that function to deliver death and destruction, pain and misery. This type of thing gives the world a picture painted with the ugly brush 'Herb' paints us with.
WWII was a just and noble war between Good and Evil. We defeated Evil. But not without a bloody price. Those of that generation that did not die came home with wounds. And an over glorification in many political circles of the American War Machine occured.
That lead to a false image that we must be the global police which resulted our military being handed a stalemate in Korea and defeat in Vietnam.
We have since deposed tyrants but those places are still teaming cesspools of conflïcts because our secular leaders push a godless democracy headed by humanist, liberal masters. If any of our forces in those hot zones attenpt to discuss a different approach to life that would bring peace and tranquility they are reprimanded. We leave the zone to continue to be a seat of satan.

Of course this is only the honest opinion of one American, but one whose ancesters were military and others who were ministers, and all of them agreed that the ministers did more to bring the savage into civilization on the third world wild west American frontier than just the winchester.

You are absolutely right, VarmintSplat. But consider the mass of youth who have not seen or even heard of the desperate struggles of an otherwise (mostly) God fearing, peaceful nation against the evil axis machine. You remember how the world was almost lost once. They don't. Anti-war commies and pinko academics, and Herbs clever weed pun have educated their worldview. Young perspectives that are 'nationalist' include the Call of Duty™ and hollywood understanding of the military. A puerile and ultimately self-defeating concept, that the left uses to further discriminate against conservatives. In the absence of a christian standard, eroded by the Dawkins and Hawkings of our age - the military ethos remains the only serious column of respectability and honor that can inspire the current generation. It's not the Ark of the covenant, no. But it's the next best thing.
Add to that the fact that the part of the world that bears malice against America (as an Idea and a country) still consists of under-evolved primates that have no sense of rightness or wrongness. The binary they understand is the fear of facing something insurmountable and the exhilaration of conquest. This is why third world countries make such a fuss about this stupidity. And it is stupidity. From a higher pedestal of thinking. But in the current scenario, for this presidency (which must remain, at any cost) and for a return to conservative priorities, it may be just the thing that works.
The left bombards the masses daily with their shit, in a non-stop campaign to normalize concepts like homosexuality, unreasonable imperatives like murdering infants to make a statement, climate change and world's end, white guilt, the beauty of islam, the degeneracy of christianity...
At this time, a limited shew of a motley bunch of units and standards that have fought the world over for liberty and against madness may be the only thing worth looking forward to, for many people who still love America. It's not too much to ask of yourselves. And there's a great deal of psychological benefit to such a shew, you will see.

In little Wheaton, IL they have been having Big Red 1 equipment in their parades ever since the archives were put in Cantigny Museum The tanks are not used but are all around the grounds of the museum (From WW-1 French mini-tank on to GW-2) Trucks, Jeeps, Half-Tracks etc. are in the parade and still work.

Dron66, even though mankind was created in the image of the Creator the vast majority choose to be their own god. Isaiah made that perfectly clear thousands of years ago. The US became the only nation that was established by puritan Christians and 'strangely' the people of that nation soon were able to fly, to travel on the ground rapidly, walk on the Moon, communicate at the speed of light and passed it on to the world. I do not believe this is just a coincidence.
We will soon know how 'the Great Spirit' thinks of our tank parades.
#11
The one thing that bugs me when the conversation turns to the evil that was WWII is that there is so seldom any followup about what came next.
I was, all too often, told to hide under my desk to practice what most people expected to come...nuclear war with the USSR.
Sorry VS but That lead to a false image that we must be the global police which resulted our military being handed a stalemate in Korea and defeat in Vietnam. is incorrect. What lead us to assume the role of global police was what happened to Germany at the end of WWII, Poland Czech, Greece, China, Cuba, etc.
The evil of Communism was, and seems to still be, the existential threat to our liberty.
#12
The USSR no longer exists. Communism (or Islam) we cannot police. Neither of which could not prevent Israel from becoming a nation again after a 2,000 year diaspora. We cannot even control our own borders and those trying tp control the border are under attack by our own represebtatives. So lets parade around anyway.
#13
Communism, islam, tribalism, crime and corruption. All are aspects of the same malady. Forsaking the way of the fathers. America was founded (as VS said) on Unitary christian principles. One nation, under God. There was immense liberty to believe what you wanted, from witchcraft to buddhism, but the substratum of the constitution, the directive principle was the word of God. And everyone from lawmen to judges followed that principle. It is the gradual 'slippage' (Stephen King's word) that has hollowed out character from the institutions themselves. Because American families have switched to other beliefs, the moral education of their children is not to wrestle against principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. It is now to be free. Free from guilt(Nothing is your fault), free from the need to better themselves (Love thyself), and free from the control of an unseen deity (There is no God, it's all science).
Those things we've lost will never come back. For people expecting revivals and some cosmic climax, sorry. This world will spiral down into a utopia for the godless, and a hell for the faithful. Until it is washed away by forces beyond it's arrogant control. That is a given.
But while we are alive, and there is still strength in us to fight, we cannot rest on that and lie down. We must keep fighting absolute, physical evil. Sometimes, the appearance of one who fights is ungainly, embarrassing to the masses, the clergies, because he gets in there and gets dirty. Which is why this modern world makes armies and keeps them in bases, differentiating them from civilians. While whitened sepulchres like popes and bishops talk about cosmic evil and interfere in politics, they are all on the side of 'slippage'. Which is again why true christianity is under attack from the enemy.
It is my belief that Donald Trump has not come to power because all of America deserves a good President. He is here because 1.God heard some people's prayers to allow for breathing space while the enemy daily continues to encroach on their freedoms. And 2. For Israel. Call me a fanatic, or plain daft. It's what I think.

Re: 3, that has already been going on under Operation Demask Antifa, which began at start of this year. It has met with some success. Such action mostly plays to local news, which is OK, as these are the folks who need to know the Antifa members in their midst.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Ahead of Trump's planned July 4 military parade, several dozen Imperial walkers began to arrive in Washington throughout the week.
The AT-ATs were dropped off by U.S. Space Force Star Destroyers just outside the city and then slowly marched toward the capital (rather than being dropped right next to their target, for some reason). Military bands solemnly played the Imperial March in honor of their arrival. Trump was seen at the White House, pointing excitedly at the looming all-terrain armored transports through an Oval Office window.
"Wow, look at those guys!" he said while gleefully clapping his hands. "Do you think President Xi has any of those? I bet he doesn't. Ha! Guy is probably sooooo jealous right now. And North Korea only has those little chicken walkers! This is definitely the best military parade on the planet!"
He quickly added that he "loves democracy" however.
Some light Antifa resistance attempted to milkshake the walkers but were crushed.

Hooo boy ! The Line up:
F-22s, a B-2 Stealth bomber YEAH ! from Whiteman Base, Air Force One, two Navy F/A-18Es, 2 Marine MV-22s from Quantico, and the new Sikorsky Marine One VH-92. M1 Abrams tanks and other armored vehicles will be there but may not roll down the road as they could damage it.
[KhaamaPress] The U.S President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... has vowed to leave a ’strong intelligence’ in Afghanistan in the event of a total pull out of troops from the country.
Speaking during an interview with the Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Trump said he would leave a strong intelligence to tackle terrorist activities.
Trump said he wanted to "get out" of Afghanistan, but added he believes the country could be a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Furthermore, he said "The problem is, it just seems to be a lab for terrorists. It seems ‐ I call it the ’Harvard of terrorists."
He also added "When you look at the World Trade Center, they were trained ... They didn’t come from Iraq, all right. They came from various other countries. But they all formed in Afghanistan, and it’s probably because it’s at the base of so many countries, but they all formed and it’s rough mountains and you get a lot of ‐ you know, you get a lot of good hiding places."
However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... he said "I would leave very strong intelligence there. You have to watch."
“There’s something very wrong with a man who does not submit, Nigel. We must save him from himself, for all our sakes.”
[Daily Caller] A man famously lauded as a "hero" in 2017 for fighting off terrorists on the London Bridge has been forced by British authorities to attend "de-radicalization" classes "over fears he may become extremist" after being stabbed eight times, British papers reported.
Forty-nine-year-old Roy Larner became known as the "Lion of London Bridge" after three Jihadis in a van plowed into a crowd of people on London Bridge before stalking from building to building, killing seven people and eventually reaching the Black and Blue pub where Larner was drinking with friends.
"They had these long knives and started shouting about Allah. Then it was, ’Islam, Islam, Islam,’" Larner said. "Like an idiot I shouted back at them ... I took a few steps towards them and said, ’Fuck you, I’m Millwall,'" he said, referring to his favorite soccer team.
He fought them off with his bare fists, sustaining serious stab wounds all over his body but allowing dozens of other patrons to escape.
The BBC called him a "hero," Brits pushed for him to be awarded one of England’s highest honors, the George Cross medal, and a Swedish brewery named a beer after him.
Larner has now been added to a terrorist watchlist know as Britain’s "Prevent" program after fears he could become an anti-Islam extremist, the Sun reported Monday.
Larner told the paper "They treat me like a terrorist but I’m not political at all." The Sun reported he was added because people in the "far right" who were anti-Islam had contacted Roy because of his role stopping the terrorist incident.
#1
Started in 2003, the Prevent program was a mixed effort by British agencies and concerned groups, including schools and universities to counter radicalization efforts by an increasingly hostile immigrant culture. It began to include Irish extremism, then meandered like everything else in the UK toward that islamophile event horizon, and now claims that there is more 'islamophobic radicalization' in the UK than any other kind. The wonder lies in who the on-ground ' de-radicalizers' and counselors are.
Cases thought to present a real risk of violent extremism are escalated to the most intensive level of Prevent, known as Channel. Counter-terror police receives information from counsellors, social workers or theological mentors all over England. Take Anjum Khan of east Africa, radicalized in India, 'cured', and now a mentor-counselor at Channel, he's one of the Home Office’s most experienced “intervention providers”. Channel's critics are sidelined and called defeatist and the Prevent program has registered a record 1740 cases of right-wing thought-crime radicals, and 419 cases of jihadist radicals last year.
Amrit Singh, a human rights lawyer and head of national security and counter-terrorism at Open Society Foundations says the Home Office has zero solid empirical grounding for its ventures in de-radicalisation, as there is no way to predict who is going to become the next terrorist.
In my view, it has become a project providing a state-funded method for 'educating' unwholesome, embarrassing , 'bloody-machete' jihad and bringing the sasquatches into the legal islamist mainstream, where they can do the quieter, longer lasting work of colonization. Bring 'em in from the rain, tell them to put down the machete, and make them recruiters of more islamists. The projects other edge, for the UK's majoritarian, white nationalist citizens, is less subtle. As in the case of Larner, it targets victims of islam, converts from islam, nationalists and even Brexiteers, keeps a close watch through their school and college overseers, on the views and opinions expressed by children and teachers and even neighbours - to curb 'hate-crime' before it occurs, specifically islamophobic, right-wing crime.
[IsraelTimes] Move comes following uptick in anti-Semitic incidents in the Netherlands and after woman was filmed delivering anti-Semitic screed at site.
Campaigners for boycotting Israel said they will stay away from the Dutch capital’s World War II monument, where their supporters have staged incidents of anti-Semitic hate speech and violence.
Gustav Draijer, a leader of Holland’s Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, announced Sunday that regular protests by BDS protesters at Dam Square were off, citing opponents’ "aggression, intimidation."
The municipality in April vowed to limit the long-standing presence of anti-Israel protesters on the square, as well as to curtail to more recent counter-demonstrations. The mayor’s office sent a cease-and-desist letter in April to members of both parties, a front man told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
On June 16, a woman named Celine Sleiman was filmed delivering a tirade against Jews on Dam Square. "Killers, haters. Talmud calls you to f***k girls. Talmud tells you to plague humanity," she was filmed telling Israeli tourists. The CIDI watchdog group against anti-Semitism filed a complaint against her for hate speech.
On Tuesday, hundreds of Jewish community leaders and dignitaries gathered at the Ridderzaal in the Hague, a 13th-century convention center located near the Dutch senate. In 1940, the Austrian Nazi governor of occupied Netherlands, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, delivered his inaugural speech in that center.
"Fighting anti-Semitism is not the task of Jews, but of society," Dutch Chief Rabbi Binyomin Jacobs said at the event.
Separately, the two largest churches in the Netherlands, the Catholic and Protestant umbrella bodies RKK and PKN, last week published statements expressing "great concern" over the rise of anti-Semitism in the Netherlands.
Last month, the Dutch government announced that it had allocated $3.35 million toward fighting anti-Semitism ‐ the first time Holland has placed the fight on its list of national priorities.
The funding, earmarked during budget talks among members of the ruling coalition, established the fight against anti-Semitism as a key point demanding government attention, alongside education, immigrant integration and five additional issues.
The move followed intensive coverage in the Dutch media of Jews’ fear of harassment and violence, mostly from immigrants colonists from Arab or Moslem countries or their descendants. In 2018, CIDI reported that anti-Semitic vandalism had risen by 40 percent, to a 10-year high of 28 cases.
[DAILYWIRE] Amid the mounting blowback over the alarming display of violence in his city, Mayor Wheeler issued a vague statement Monday criticizing those who "used their opportunity to exercise their 1st amendment rights, as an opportunity to incite violence."
"Portland has always been a beacon of free speech. We are proud of that history," he wrote in the first of the tweet thread. "But in the last couple of years, some have increasingly used their opportunity to exercise their 1st amendment rights, as an opportunity to incite violence. Over the weekend some chose to engage in violence in Portland, which is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We stand against all forms of violence — regardless of someone’s political leanings."
He then attempted to address why the violence was allowed to erupt with what appeared to be minimal police response.
"Portland police officers have the unenviable task of keeping the peace," wrote Wheeler. "It’s a difficult job and hard decisions are made in real-time. While we continue to learn more about what transpired over the weekend, we will keep you informed."
Wheeler concluded by assuring the public that the city would hold the violent criminals accountable. "We will do everything we can to make sure that those who have committed violence are held accountable," he wrote.
As documented by Twitchy, many of the responses online expressed skepticism about the mayor's ability or willingness to provide citizens who don't embrace the radical left agenda proper police protection.

His words belie his loyalties. Every statement is ambivalent and the narrative tends to lean to the notional premise that that 'they were only exercising their 1st Amendment right, but some carried it a bit too far.'
The same fucking thing can be said about terrorist acts. Bastard.

Crazy Fool - the parade is scheduled for Aug 17. It's billed as the Rally to End Antifa. The goal is to turn out 1000 patriots. As I've been warning for the past year, Portland will need to be subdued as Berkeley was. That time has come. Antifa, the DSA, and the skinhead groups SHARP and RASH will have two choices, turn out and get crushed, or don't show and forever be discredited in the eyes of their rank and file.

as an opportunity to incite violence."
From what I saw this was a little more kinetic than incitement. Or is my mother's old saying about "...words can never hurt you." just a lot of bilge?
#5
Fool. His job - his first responsibility - is to preserve order in Portland. To do that, he and his law enforcement officers are granted a monopoly on violence in Portland. He is obligated by law to exercise that monopoly in order to prevent violent crimes and to detain violent criminals in Portland.
If there is any evidence that the Mayor told law enforcement to stand down in the face of easily-predicted, credible threats of violence, then he and the City of Portland government are criminally liable.
#8
There was an article about Ted "Three" Wheeler the other day that, as an aside, claimed the police have no constitutional requirement to protect you. If true, the putz may continue his brownshirt maneuvers. I suspect if 1000 patriots show up on HIS streets the cops will be busting butts and heads like you wouldn't believe.

Portland may need to be subdued the way Hama was.
[DAWN] A day after PML-N Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... President Rana Sanaullah was arrested on his way to Lahore, Faisalabad ...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after... police took into custody another PML-N leader, former MPA Sheikh Aijaz, and shifted him to an undisclosed location.
Sheikh Aijaz, who is also PML-N's city president and a former MNA, was taken into custody from his residence in the Satyana Road area. He was an active figure in the hometown of Rana Sanaullah and had been elected chairman of the Faisalabad Development Authority.
Police refused to disclose the details that led to his arrest. A police party from Saddar Police Station had raided his residence.
Following the arrest of Sanaullah, Sheikh Aijaz, along with other party leaders, had addressed a presser to announce protests.
Later in the day, PML-N workers had staged a demonstration on the Samundri Road and thrown traffic out of gear. Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, a little lightbulb figuratively appeared over Bossy's head... police had raided the houses of various PML-N activists and arrested around 24 people, apparently to forestall the PML-N’s protest in the wake of Sanaullah's arrest.

[DAWN] The United States on Tuesday designated bully boyz fighting Pak rule in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... as holy warriors after it carried out deadly attacks targeting Chinese interests.
The US State Department said it was classifying the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) as a global terrorist group, making it a crime for anyone in the US to assist the bully boyz and freezing any US assets they may have.
The banned BLA "is an gang that targets security forces and civilians, mainly in Baloch areas of Pakistain," the State Department said in its designation.
The security forces have been fighting holy warriors in Balochistan since 2004, with the bully boyz recently finding a new focus in rallying against China's investment that is part of its major Belt and Road initiative.
The BLA has targeted Chinese nationals in Pakistain multiple times, including a brazen daylight attack on the Chinese consulate in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... that killed four people in November 2018.
In May, five people including a soldier were killed after button men stormed the only five-star hotel in Gwadar, the port city which Islamabad is hoping to develop into a major commercial hub.
Claiming responsibility for the hotel attack, the BLA warned China to stop its "exploitative projects in Balochistan" and threatened further attacks.
The US designation of the group comes despite vocal concerns by Washington over the Belt and Road initiative, with Washington accusing China of imposing debt traps on developing nations.

Well, the State Dept is wrong. They just heard the Paki point of view and maybe traded a favor to the Chinese.
Anyway, the poor bastards don't have any assets to freeze. They are rebel tribals, of which thousands have already been massacred by the ISI. The 'Stain claimed the Balochistan province because of India's lily-livered proclivity to lean toward non-interference, and has carried out ethnic cleansing and assassinations for decades in the bloody place.
The fate of the Balochis is a laboratory experiment to is was planned by Islamabad for Afghanistan.
[Rudaw] Iraq is establishing a financial "loophole" to continue buying vital gas and electricity from Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... despite US sanctions, AFP has learned, mirroring a Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an mechanism that came into effect Friday.

Anbar (IraqiNews.com) ‐ Iraq has received 100 Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... jihadists, including big shots, from Syria, an Iraqi mayor said seemingly under an agreement to hand over a total of 502 fighters.
"The Syrian side has handed the Jazeerah Operations Command a total of 100 Islamic State elements, who were arrested by the Syrian army near the borderline with Iraq," the independent news website of Almaalomah quoted the mayor of Iraqi border town al-Qaim, Ahmed al-Mahallawi, as saying on Tuesday.
"The turbans were moved to the Ain Assad airbase in al-Baghdadi district, west of Anbar, for interrogation and judicial action," al-Mahalawi said, adding that there were big shots among the arrestees.
Around 800 of foreign jihadist fighters who joined Islamic State, including many Iraqis, are being held in Syria by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, the group said. More than 2,000 family members are also in camps, with dozens more arriving each day.
The krazed killer group still poses a threat in Iraq and some western officials believe that the group’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, may still be hiding there.

[THEBAGHDADPOST] Ali al-Sistani is the inly person capable of dissolving the Iran-backed militias in Iraq and Syria, dubbed as al-Hashd al-Sha’abi (Popular Mobilization) in Iraq - said head of Badr parliamentary block, Hassan al-Ka’abi on Tuesday.
Ka’abi comments followed the decision of Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi to annex IMIS murderous Moslems to the security institute, saying it is useless.
"IMIS consists of armed faction and maintaining it through military and ideological training is a must, to remain a strong power," al-Ka’abi said, adding that IMIS is an integral part of the resistance project which is under the control of Tehran and Najaf.
He added that the reason of forming the militia still exists, and ending its mission will not happen unless the Shiite Marja, led by Sistani, ordered its dissolving, not any body else, according to Ka’abi.
Abd al-Mahdi issued on Monday a decree heavily curbing the powers of IMIS, forcing them to further integrate into the country's formal armed forces.

Safe from US sanctions? Sure, so long as they don’t attack our people. But if they do, then, like that bit of cleverness about a loophole to trade Iraqi dinars for Iranian power, the Iraqi government will have unwisely chosen a side.
[Washington Examiner] Israel is bracing for a possible military confrontation in the Middle East amid tension between the U.S. and Iran.
"It should be taken into account that mistaken calculations by the [Iranian] regime ... are liable to bring about a shift from the ’gray zone’ to the ’red zone’ ‐ that is, a military conflagration," Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz said at an international security forum.
"We must be prepared for this, and thus, the State of Israel continues to devote itself to building up its military might for the event that it will have to respond to escalation scenarios," he said.
The comments come on the heels of increased geopolitical escalation between the U.S. and Iran. The U.S. planned airstrikes on Iranian facilities after it downed a U.S. drone, but President Trump called off the move at the last moment.
Last month, the U.S. also imposed new sanctions against Iran, targeting its leader and top officials. The U.S. announced that it was sending an additional 1,000 troops to the Middle East after a pair of oil tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman.

While the call for vigilant preparation is admirable, it raises the question of how many lawn chairs and how much popcorn they're going to need.

If Iran is under attack, they will push Hezbollah to attack Israel
Also Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza, and whatever tools they’ve managed to persuade in the West Bank and Israel proper. I think the destruction of border-crossing tunnels coming from both Gaza and Lebanon, and the ever-lengthening fence/wall along all of Israel’s borders, not to mention the mapping of Hezbollah’s missile storage depots revealed some years ago — and no doubt the same done in Gaza — and a similar mapping of Iran’s nuke-related and otherwise sites, have been preparation for the war to come.
[Jpost] Iranian prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for several suspects arrested last year for spying for the United States in military and nuclear bodies, state media reported on Tuesday, as tensions rise with Washington over Tehran's nuclear program.
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate JewsZionists Jews.

In June, Iran said it executed a former contract employee of the defense ministry aerospace body on charges of spying for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
Judiciary front man Gholamhossein Esmaili said an unspecified number of suspects, arrested less than a year ago, faced possible death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... s in military tribunals, state televison reported.
"Two of the defendants, who were not military, have received long prison terms," Esmaili added, without giving details.
