Why would the IRGC or MOIS kill a captured US pilot?

They will want to interrogate him about our jets.

The pilot, who underwent SERE training, will hold out as long as possible.

And Tehran will show the world that they abide by the Geneva Conventions, unlike Israel and the US.

And in a recent speech in Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu channeled Genghis Khan over Jesus Christ.

"Look at the big brain on Brad reading the Economist!"

Taiwan is much, much closer to China than Cuba is to America.

And both authoritarians eventually want them.

One RUMINT is that Hegseth is concerned about being sacked, so he's firing potential replacements.

Secretary of the Army Driscoll may be next.

This is more evidence suggesting that Dummkopf Trumpf was a Confidential Informant (CI) for the FBI.

Beginning in the 1980s, Trumpf (and Felix Satir) would occasionally turn over a Russian or Italian mobster to the FBI or provide the name of a KGB operative.

In turn, the FBI would then look the other way at Trump's other sacrileges.

Years ago the FBI used a CI who was later exposed as a murderer.

The British Security Service's best mole in the IRA was also a top assassin for the IRA code-named "STEAKKNIFE."

The crux of the matter is "policy" vs "law."

For example, the DOJ has a "policy" called the "60-day rule," which discourages taking overt law enforcement actions against a politician, such as indictments or arrests, within 60 days before a federal election, in order to appear impartial.

The Trumpf junta wants favorable policies in place to protect him, circumnavigating Congress.

Had the DOJ not had its long-standing "policies" about investigating politicians or POTUSes, no Special Counsels would ever be required-- just a standard AUSA would suffice seeking an indictment against a defendant.

No law prevented an investigation of a sitting POTUS by an AUSA and a Grand Jury, a policy did.

SC Robert Mueller and Jack Smith were both hamstrung with DOJ policies that narrowed the bandwidth of their investigations into Dummkopf Trumpf.
