As Nero Danced posted:Have they answered any questions at all so far, because it doesn't seem like it. They've never even heard of Comey. Yes but only about their feelings on a given line of questioning. I'm not super familiar with how these kind of hearings operate but I wonder what the turnaround on stonewalling politicians out of their sound-bytes -> leaks of damning information might be. I mean obviously it would be 0% because these are our elected leaders and executive appointees participating in these hearings. Consummate professionals to a person.

I can't find this reported on any major news outlet, but I read about it on The Economist website. https://www.itnewsafrica.com/2017/06/rwanda-censors-social-media-ahead-of-elections/ quote:Rwanda censors social media ahead of elections Part of me thinks this is isolated, a bigger part of me considers this part of the Trump effect. Also Lebanon banned Wonder Woman because Gal Gadot is Israeli. boop the snoot fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Jun 7, 2017 |

Kind of. It's dated tommorrow, and places emphasis multiple times that Trump was asking question and demanding solutions that he shouldn't have.

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:ISIS has claimed responsibility for the Tehran Parliamentary attack. It's difficult to tell because Iran has relatively little experience with terrorism on this scale. In the early 2000s the big boogeymen were the Jundallah and MeK (which we may have trained and supported), but their attacks were fairly small in scale. Additionally, Jundallah attacks were constrained to the Baluchi area in SE Iran. MeK hasn't been active for a few years. With that in mind, Iran has a victim complex bigger than Trump so they want to pin this on Saudi Arabia despite any evidence to the contrary. I mean, I'm like 99% sure it was ISIS (just look at where Iran is situated), but Iran's hardliners cannot use public sentiment against ISIS so they need a larger external threat. The big mean bullies from the house of Saud are picking on plucky ol' Iran again, and they're definitely going to agitate for a fight although I don't know what Iran will actually do. Overt military action is not their MO. If they're serious about punching SA, I'd expect that whatever assets they have in the country will be getting a fresh shipment of guns and material fairly soon. Unfortunately I don't know what the status of Shia groups are in Saudi Arabia so it's hard to tell who could be an Iranian proxy over there. Realistically, they'll probably increase troop presence in Syria and Iraq. I wish that it were easier to get a handle on just how large their forces were already, but that information is not easily available. Robin Wright wrote this excellent piece for The New Yorker about senior officers dying in Syria. Back in 2015 Iran had at least 400 casualties from the Syrian conflict, along with 800 or so Pakistani and Afghan auxiliaries. At the time, Iran had only had dudes inside Syria for about three years. By comparison, they US had a little over 1300 KIA in the first two years of OIF, and we had a HUGE presence in that country. That tells me that there has to be at least a division-sized element within Syria consisting of a mix of Quds and regular IRGC dudes, plus auxiliaries. Where does Iran go from there? Another 1,000 guys? 2,000? Martyrdom is a big deal in the culture so it's not as if they won't have any number of willing participants to go die in their little Arab Vietnam. I know that's not much of an original analysis, but there's really not much precedent to tell us how Iran responds to Terrorism (other than to blame the US and the Zionists).

I was explaining all the poo poo between Saudi and Qatar to a coworker (I was asked) and the depths of the current clusterfuck sort of hit me all at once. Then, I sort of realized that this current clusterfuck is really no different than the usual clusterfuck in the Middle East. So at least there's that  Also, here's an update on the clusterfuck that is UK polling right now https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/872593361861058560
