Just in case you are wondering what is going on in Iran and why you don’t hear a lot about it Thomas Wictor
has a brilliant take on it and its part of a new “war strategy” that is being employed everywhere by our potus.It’s simply brilliant.

14) I know that Iranians want to be free as soon as possible, but the Second Iranian Revolution must be done the right way.
All the potential enemies must be neutralized FIRST, so that we have no insurgency and no death squads.
(15) Iran will NOT BE OCCUPIED.
Therefore the Iranians must be IN AGREEMENT before the mullahs are overthrown.
If the mullahs are overthrown but still have armed supporters, it would be a disaster.
(16) Therefore Iranians must be strong.
You’ve ACTUALLY already won.
The mullahs WILL GO.
There’s no doubt.
(17) But my guess is that Iran’s secret allies are LISTENING TO IRANIANS.
The people who know best are Iranians.
So they will set the timetable.
(18) Have faith in your people.
IRANIANS will lead you to freedom...
(20) Now we get into my prediction.
A prediction that has already come to pass.
The Third Revolution in Military Affairs (3RMA).
(21) Secretary of Defense James Mattis has always said that his job is to make the US armed forces into the most lethal in the world.
His nickname is “Mad Dog,” so I figured that this was hyperbole.
No.
He was serious.
(22) This is the Pentagon Website.
defense.gov
(23) Here is what the Pentagon did until January of 2018.
(24) And here is what the Pentagon does now.
(25) See, @realDonaldTrump fooled everyone again.
They thought he was going to create a massive CONVENTIONAL force that would fight and occupy.
No.
(26) We won't be occupying anyone again.
A “lethal Joint Force” will engage in what I call “precision obliteration.”
We did it to the Russians in Syria on February 7, 2018.
(27) A Russian assault battalion of 550 men armed with main battle tanks and heavy artillery attacked an American position at Deir Ezzor.
We had about 40 or so men there.
(28) The Russians took 100 percent casualties.
Between 200-300 killed, and between 200-300 wounded.
That is VERY HARD TO DO.
............................. Bottom line we do more with 30 or 40 soldiers that are highly trained and weaponized than with 4,000 troops who don't have the training or the weapons. We don't colonize anymore or take over territory.We get rid of all the bad guys and than work with locals to take over the area.Same as we are ding in Iran.It will work its already working,brilliant strategy.Do more with less,Trump is brilliant,who thought he would ever have the State dept. working with Defense,evidently that's all it took.
Chances are good you won't read about this anywhere else or view it on TV.
