“Connecting the Dots”, with Wilmer Leon and me. Wilmer’s interviews of me go back 20 years. This morning we addressed front-burner issues during a relaxed conversation. See if you agree that Wilmer is quite knowledgeable and ask the right questions.
Leaking War Plans Doesn’t Endanger Lives, It Saves Them
Prosecutor charges CIA’s Asif Rahman with leaking “plans for kinetic action btw two countries” & emphasizes “grave danger to human life” from such a leak. If “kinetic” means war, leaking before Israeli attack on Iran saved lives (at end of talk with Nima).

Al-Jolani, Putin, and the Lack of US Defense Against Oreshnik
Syria: Was al-Jolani converted on The Road to Damascus; Putin ready to “fold-em”. On Ukraine, US seems not ready to “fold-em” despite lack of defense against Oreshnik. 6 ATACMS just fired into Rostov. US “assesses” Oreshnik not a game-changer. We will see.
