    Medvedev is generally full of shit....literally writing check his ass can't cash.
    Let see if among those "number of countries", Russia will be willing to provide the warheads.
    That would indeed br a game changer but it is highly unlikely to happen.

    North Korea is also a possibility.

    And given Putin's rising desperation, I'm not a sure it is unlikely as it once was...

    First, does "warhead" mean it includes nuclear material, or just the explosive element? Or just the casing?
    Second, there should be no surprise that Trump ordered the action after somebody else (Israel/Netanyahu) moved first.
    Third, Medvedev is countering what Gen Caine said. Not surprising, though I have a tendency to believe Gen Cain first.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg9r4q99g4o

    But, [Gen Caine] said, "an initial battle damage assessment indicates that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction".

    ...

    McKenzie Intelligence Services, Stu Ray, told BBC Verify: "You will not see a huge blast effect at the entry point as it is not designed to detonate on entry but deeper down into the facility."

    He added that it looks like three separate munitions were dropped on two separate impact points, and that the grey colouration on the ground appears to show concrete debris blown out by the explosions.

    Mind, Caine gave a very Trump type of comment, and a quick look at his background suggests he is the type of guy Trump would favor. That said, he also looks like he has a solid military background. So, language aside, I'm believing the success as stated by Caine over the denial as stated by Medvedev.

    This is a good, well better than most, story. On who is in charge and why Vlad is still the boss.


    Trump's former 'trusted operative' spills Iran story 'they're not telling you'


    A man who was once Donald Trump’s “trusted operative” spilled details he said you won’t find on CNN or MSNBC.

    Author and former Trump insider Lev Parnas, who has reported on Trump’s purported “humiliation” by Russia’s Putin, on Sunday wrote about his take on Trump’s military strike on Iran’s soil.

    The big fat dope can't even take the hat off when in the board room.

    It doesn't take much of an imagination to think what would happen if Barack Obama wore a hat during Operation Neptune Spear or if one of his contestants wore a hat during the TV show.

    Also why is his head tilted to the side? Is it past his bed time?

    This is part 2 of the my post above. While the media are concentrating on the minutiae and silly crap coming from the White House. Project 2025 is unfolding.

    Trump wanted to hit Iran. The only thing holding him back? Putin’s greenlight.
    That greenlight’s now been given—and look what’s already unfolding.
    Here’s what they’re not reporting: Please take the time to read it.

    Hey, how many other countries have a top general that shares his name with a fast food chicken joint? The most 'Merican shit you could think of.

    Hang on...I'm being told that GINA's General Tso was also a real general. :D

    I tend to roll my eyes with extreme prejudice whenever someone writes "trust me bro, I'm the only one that knows what's really going on!"

    I don't know. I watched the documentary “From Russia With Lev” I’d trust what he had to say over Trump and all his cabinet swearing on a Trump bible.
    Not a great endorsement tho. :)

    They got rid of the Black guy and signed a special exemption to promote Caine. Caine had all his guys wear MAGA hats when Trump came on a visit. It is against regs but Trump loved it and made sure it was excused. Trump said this himself. Don't Trust a word that Caine says.

    It was paywalled on Wired but got a snippet on U.S.Army site.

    The four new Army Reserve Lt. Cols. are Shyam Sankar, Chief Technology Officer for Palantir; Andrew Bosworth, Chief Technology Officer of Meta; Kevin Weil, Chief Product Officer of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, advisor at Thinking Machines Lab and former Chief Research Officer for OpenAI
