5 rules to getting to sober analysis of a war situation. How you avoid becoming William Scott Ritter. How not to sit in echo chambers when others sit in bomb shelters. Peddling revenge narratives isn’t analysis

Can the US use the Kurds as a fifth column to destabilize Iran and get some areas to break away from Iran? They are certainly considering it. They have used fifth columns before, like in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria. This ‘Afghan model’ would run into serious problems though

24th day of the Ukraine/US vs Russia conflict. Syrian soldiers fighting in Ukraine. American volunteers used as cannon fodder. The fall of Mariupol bound to happen. Ukrainian successes are exaggerated.
What a low intensity war… 1,300 dead Ukrainian soldiers in more than two weeks. That’s only one third of the dead at Antietam, the bloodiest day in American history
