Words of good advice from Mark Fitzpatrick

No, DC is not Baghdad or Fallujah. The troops are not speaking a foreign language, manning checkpoints, traveling in convoys so secure that they would be authorized to shoot cars that drive in between them. They’re not raiding homes. Let’s not trivialize military occupation.

They showed Sajjil at the start, but launched Shahab-3s or Ghadrs. Interesting...

Another example of the operational differences between satellite launchers and ballistic missiles: 24/7 readiness.

It has been ten years since it was last launched, but it looks like Sajjil is back.

Glad to hear #Biden team will seek 5-year extension of New START. NST sustains a stable US-Russian nuclear balance and provides predictability as the US modernizes its nuclear forces. Russia and the US must stay within New START limits, avoiding an arms race.

I need someone to explain to me why Al Franken had to resign for a joke photo he took years before he was a senator, but the elected officials who participated in or encouraged the capitol riots are allowed to stay in government. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Excellent thread on Iran’s space program by Fabian Hinz

The #Benghazi attack occurred on September 11, 2012. 3 years later, on October 15, 2015, Hillary Clinton testified before a GOP-controlled Congressional Committee for 11 hours. 3 weeks ago, our Capitol was under siege by domestic terrorists. Republicans want us to move on.

New #ballisticmissile UG facility near Bakhtaran base in Kermanshah. Om Gothi | Orion Intel and I joined forces on this new finding in #Iran . Two tunnels were excavated from January to September 2020. This 3D model is a possible layout of the UG facility when operational. #TheIntelLab

Yars-S, ladies and gentlemen: m.tvzvezda.ru/news/forces/co… 1.86m x 17.8m; 46 t, 1250 kg throughweight, 10000 km max range. And now official: the latest re-armed msl rgt in Barnaul (35 MD) is 307, three rgts are declared re-armed, with fourth and final to follow in late 2021.

Wishing you good luck Stephan. This will be a heavy lift.

#BREAKING - Unreported Tunnels and Underground Facility located near Khomein, Markazi Province, #IRAN. Excavation works started in 2015 and are still ongoing today. It is currently unclear whether the purpose of this UGF is #ballisticmissile or #nuclear related. #TheIntelLab
