COI #207: Is Biden Turning to Diplomacy with Russia and Iran?
On COI #207, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman update the JCPOA talks’ recent developments and the Russians’ security proposals presented to Washington. Kyle discusses the Russians pulling 10,000 troops off the border with Ukraine and sending them back to their bases. This is potentially a show of goodwill before the upcoming talks with the U.S. next month. Kyle and Connor then cover some recent escalations that do not necessarily bode well for substantive diplomacy like the Americans flying spy planes over Ukraine not far from the separatist Donbas region. There is also talk of a...

Saudis ‘Unaware’ Bombed Yemen Prison Held Prisoners
By Jason Ditz On Sunday, Saudi warplanes attacked and destroyed a prison in the Yemeni city of Dhamar, killing an estimated 130 prisoners. Saudi officials are now saying they had no idea that the prison held any prisoners, nor had they added the prison to the “no strike list.“ The Houthis reported that the prison was well known, and that the Red Cross had visited several times. The Red Cross has concurred, and was critical of the Saudis for attacking the site. The Houthis reported that the prison was used in large measure to hold fighters loyal to the pro-Saudi government. The Red Cross...
USA Almost Attacked Iran Tonight
I had a tip at 8 eastern that they were going to attack in one hour. Then the Tucker show started. Then the attack was called off. I'm willing to bet it was Tucker and Macgregor who stopped a war tonight. The New York Times says Trump had authorized the strike and planes were in the air before he changed his mind and called it off. Pompeo, Bolton and Bloody Gina Haspel were pushing him to do...
The Future of Military Technology is Intense
But the future of the human race is in doubt. The Science of war is looking more like science fiction. Technologies that were once confined to the fevered dreams of Hollywood sci-fi directors are becoming commonplace throughout projections of tomorrows military: lasers, railguns, hypersonic missles, and secretive space planes. Welcome to the wild future of the U.S. military

My country, ’tis of thee
NYT on CIA Afghan death squads: “They said, ‘Don’t come out — if the airstrikes hit you, then don’t complain,’” said Adel, whose face had shrapnel wounds from the raid. While the family waited in the house, Adel’s father bled to death in the yard. Mohibullah, a relative of the dead, said that for him, there was no difference between the C.I.A.-sponsored force and the Islamic State if the result was to be attacked with no warning. “What is the need for raiding me at night?” he said. “Send me a warrant. If I didn’t show up, then you can bring your tanks and fly your planes and destroy...

Shoigu’s plane was reportedly carrying the defense minister and a number of reporters to a conference in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, between Poland and Lithuania. The plane was reportedly escorted by a pair of Su-27s,...
