Let me guess, out of complacency Israeli military planners built a base that was obviously indefensible against the slightest modern force and Israel has absolutely no stomach for military casualties (also shown by their insistence on lying about that antitank missile). The APCs might be explained by them being in need of repair but the situation not actually warranting destroying them just in case.

The goal is to get more information about the financing for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which the U.S. has designated a terrorist group.

Remember how questioning the sarin gas attack culpability in Syria was basically made into a third rail and you were insanely crazy if you doubted for a moment that Assad was a rabid dog? A whole cottage industry of hacks sprang up around protecting the "Assad gases his own people" narrative, aggressively attempting to deplatform those who didn't accept it at face value... even though James Clapper under Obama said the case was "not a slam dunk" and Obama held back from responding on the "red line" threat,

We can just barely keep the screws tight on Venezuela, and they're right across the Gulf of Mexico. Issuing a bounty for financial info on the IRGC only shows how weak our reach is.

What the world needs right now is a nuclear armed Turkey

quote:

Erdogan says it's unacceptable that Turkey can't have nuclear weapons

ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday it was unacceptable for nuclear-armed states to forbid Ankara from obtaining its own nuclear weapons, but did not say whether Turkey had plans to obtain them.

“Some countries have missiles with nuclear warheads, not one or two. But (they tell us) we can’t have them. This, I cannot accept,” he told his ruling AK Party members in the eastern city of Sivas.

“There is no developed nation in the world that doesn’t have them,” Erdogan said. In fact, many developed countries do not have nuclear weapons.

Turkey signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in 1980, and has also signed the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, which bans all nuclear detonations for any purpose.

Erdogan hinted that he wanted the same protection for Turkey as Israel.

“We have Israel nearby, as almost neighbors. They scare (other nations) by possessing these. No one can touch them.”

Foreign analysts say Israel possesses a sizable nuclear arsenal. Israel maintains a policy of ambiguity around the nuclear issue, refusing to confirm or deny its capabilities.
