Excellent piece joining the dots between Surkov’s doctrine, Bannon’s gameplay, and the current US / Israeli strategy of shoot first, spin later, retcon always.
Despite the strength of political criticism in the UK, Starmer's position on Iran mirrors several other European countries
France, Greece, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain are deploying and/or allowing the use of military assets in a defensive capacity while not condoning the initial attack
You cannot negotiate away a capability that has not yet come into existence. You cannot declare victory over a weapon that nobody has yet made. The object stays live precisely because nothing can close it. The game, as designed, carries no endpoint.

In a parallel to any computer system:
Poor data in = schoolgirls massacred.
As revealed by +972 magazine about the Lavender software, there will be creep on the "acceptable" ratio between civilian collateral and military targets.
If this is Armageddon, I hate to point out that makes Trump the anti-Christ
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
The new war machine. Machine learning and large language models. Palantir, OpenAI etc are really the Krupps and IGFarben of the 21st Century

While Trump is trying to deny that interceptors are running out, remember that the US spent tens of billions last year building a Golden Dome that already was an impossibility and this war will demonstrate suffers from a number of other catastrophic problems.

Really saddened to hear of the death of the legendary Paul Conroy at just 61 - one of the bravest, best and kindest of people and an astonishingly good photographer to boot.
