    THIS sums up the Trump FP....and that of his merry band of WH brothers....

    Trump means nothing he says

    NATO "no longer obsolete...America has the best friends & the best allies in the world"

    "The #NATO Alliance has been the bulwark of international peace and security" ever since its founding 68 years ago -- @POTUS Donald Trump

    Need some light humor today after all the Assad/Putin incendiary cluster strikes the last few days...

    A Baathist, a Putinist, a Stalinist and an Antisemite walk into a bar, the bartender says: "The anti-war meeting is upstairs"

    Azor.....that "ten foot barge pole" just keeps coming back and back and back.....

    BOMBSHELL: Ex-MI6 chief accuses Trump of secretly borrowing $ from Russia to keep his property empire afloat
    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/331982...ncial-crisis/#

    Not sure just how he is going to sue the Sun for defamation...

    So was the TLAM strike a Wag the Dog v2.0 moment or a "red line in the sand thingy"????

    Azor....that "ten foot barge pole"...needs to get longer...

    Carter Page tells me he can't guarantee he did not discuss easing of sanctions w Russian contacts; “Let’s see what the FISA transcripts say”

    Wow. So GCHQ did warn US intel about links between Trump team and #Russia intelligence, although didn't tap Trump
    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...-links-russia#

    They now have specific concrete & corroborative evidence of collusion,” the source said.

    Germany, Poland and Estonia also passed intelligence on contacts between Trump officials and Moscow to US, according to sources, in 2016

    Maybe also Dutch and French.

    Who says transatlantic intel sharing is moribund?

    Things will work out fine between the U.S.A. and Russia. At the right time everyone will come to their senses & there will be lasting peace!

    Annnd now we know why the TrumPutin team was so desperate to smear #GCHQ -- with help from RT and its US parter in disinformation, @FoxNews

    "The alleged conversations were picked up by chance as part of routine surveillance of Russian intelligence assets."
    It happens.

    Virtually the entire Western SIGINT alliance knew Trump was in cahoots with Putin.
    American voters, not so much.

    Same source has told me they have received audio of Trump directly involved with arranging financial arrangements with Russian sources ......

    First arrests may be as soon as next week.

    Not exactly sure just what/who a single 11 ton bomb is suppose to impress.....

    From 2003, worth noting MOAB has been seen as a PSYOPS tool.

    Twitter needs to Stop being weird about the 11-ton MOAB. For some perspective, here is a B-52 starting to drop 81 1,000 pound bombs.

    Now a three B52 flight "arch light strike" gets everyone's attention.......and that for miles.......even the North Vietnamese Army had a high respect of an "arch light strike".....as did the Iraqi Army in Kuwait....

    Was caught once inside the danger close range of an arch light drop and the ground had three foot high waves rippling for minutes much like a major earthquake...now that get's your attention....

    Sounds like a great "win" for Trump's show.....

    I am counting 36 as the report says AT least...well it could have been far fewer actually....

    US military's largest non-nuclear bomb killed at least 36 militants of the Islamic State group, Afghan officials say
    http://u.afp.com/4Q9V

    Not so sure that figure is even correct unless one did immediate BDA on the ground afterwards.....

    US President Donald Trump had earlier called the mission "very, very successful."

    AFG Sources "We don't know anything about the casualties so far, but since it is a Daesh (IS) stronghold we think a lot of Daesh fighters may have been killed."
    Syrian social media comment....

    Can't disable a runway, but can blow up a mountain.


    BUT WAIT...comment from the amazing leader......

    Donald J. Trump

    @realDonaldTrump
    The reason you don't generally hit runways is that they are easy and inexpensive to quickly fix (fill in and top)!

    Again Trump changes his very own statements....

    Trump clarifies meaning when he says US "go it alone": "going it alone means going it with lots of other nations"

    Latakia: #FSA blowing up #Assad regime position in Northern #Latakia with #TOW today.

    The regime's mode of disinformation amounts to: "I know you are but what am I?"

    Palmyra: Video shows the #ISIS attack against pro-#Assad forces near the #Palmyra Silos yesterday.

    An agreement is being negotiated to hand over Tell Rifaat and Menagh in northern Aleppo to FSA by the Syrian Democratic Forces.

    @techreview
    Russia gets “the true nature of the battlefield” in a way the West does not. The power lies in information.

    The smoking gun…

    - U.S intel intercepted comms of #Syria “military & chemical experts discussing preparations" prior to 4 April CW attack.
