Source tells me that Naval Special Warfare teams were also given deployment orders yesterday, as well as a bunch of Tier 1 operators.

That plus the 82nd Airborne deployment plus Netanyahu's obvious feint that he expects a ceasefire agreement this weekend suggests all the pieces are in place for a ground operation within day.

It makes sense that these rats would plan this shit for a weekend. They always do for the precious Business Cycle. I hope they're all toast by Monday. Let the markets feast their eyes on THAT.

It will happen on either Friday or Saturday, after the Markets close.

استکبار

Estekbâr (Persian: استکبار, from Arabic: اِسْتِکْبار) is a Persian noun meaning arrogance, conceit, haughtiness, or vainglory.

It feels lazy to put all our analysis on incompetence and arrogance but there really is no other way to explain it. Like I want to be careful to not underestimate the empire but every move makes it impossible to underestimate them. Very frustrating.

I don't think it's lazy. This is a common thread that weaves throughout the entire history of European colonialism. Their racist ideology repeatedly causes them to underestimate their enemy. In the case of Iran, this has reached a completely new level of absurdity.

Combine this with the empire's decline and we're witnessing a defeat the scale of which the US has never before experienced. Trump is the perfect embodiment of this arrogance.
