Everyone should study hoplology, the science of combat. A good hoplologist can tell you about the video below. It’s said to show a Russian precision air strike on a tank of the Levant Conquest Front in Aleppo. The reporter is from al Jazeera. What actually happened is that the tank fired its main gun. That’s…
Rebel groups in Syria are phantoms. We now have the proof
August 4, 2016
I should’ve done this a long time ago. Today I saw an amazing video. As a result, I finally determined how one becomes an expert with the American BGM-71 TOW antitank guided missile (ATGM). The only conclusion I can draw is that the vast majority of the rebel groups in Syria are mirages. Professional soldiers…
Theater in the Middle East is impossible to decipher
August 2, 2016
As art forms, I prefer film to theater. I’ve attended only four plays in my life. However, the Arab League theater in the Middle East is incredibly entertaining. I’ve figured out some of it, but most will remain hidden forever. All I can say for sure is that this is not happening. I’ve traced direct…
Turks heed the warning they received, as I knew they would
July 29, 2016
There’s no doubt that the July 15, 2016, “attempted coup” in Turkey was in fact a military operation. Somebody wanted the Turks to stop doing destructive things. Turkey is a former empire. All former empires—except Great Britain—want to relive their glory days. The easiest way to become “important” on the world stage is to cause…
Alone? I’m anything but. The right people are on my side
July 28, 2016
In 2014, an Iranian-American journalist named Ali Gharib lied to me in order to get an interview. His goal was to discredit me because I was debunking Palestinian propaganda. A clinical psychologist named Michael Shaw violated all the rules of his profession by insinuating that I hallucinate. Both Gharib and Shaw succeeded in destroying my…
Terrorism always becomes an end in itself. Murder is the goal
July 26, 2016
“Experts” don’t know a thing about terrorism. The conventional wisdom is that poor, angry people take up arms in desperation. Nothing can be further from the truth. In reality, most terrorists simply enjoy exerting power over others. The longer a terrorist organization exists, the more savage it becomes. This proves that the members get jaded….
Rigidity is the reason that the west is in so much trouble
July 25, 2016
I’ll admit that I’m hostile to tradition. This is a deficit on my part. There’s nothing wrong with tradition itself. However, it too often becomes rigidity, which is the bane of western civilization. Implacable rigidity I had a surreal exchange on Twitter that exemplifies the rigidity that cripples westerners. A man wants the US military…
Firepower now has multiple applications
July 12, 2016
For centuries, firepower meant only one thing. The “best” weapons killed the largest number of people in the the shortest amount of time. Probably in around 2005, the Gulf Cooperation Council made peace with Israel. Together they created weapons that increase firepower and narrow its scope. To me, the motivation doesn’t matter. I don’t care…
