Hi Doc Sarvis:

I finished reading Virginia Roberts Giuffre's book Nobody's Girl; hope you can borrow it from your library.

That book should have taken me two to three days to read, but I had to put it down after every chapter, so it took me almost ten days.

That poor girl never had a chance in life.

BTW: Republican Mike Huckabee may not be alone in his Bronze Age campfire sentiments about Israeli expansion.

*** Double-Dealing Oligarch Steve Witkoff Tells Faux News Iran Close to Making Nuclear Bomb ***

Good-for-nothing oligarch Steve Witkoff, a man with zero diplomatic training or experience, and who cozies up to two ICC-indicted war criminals (Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin), bleats to viewers on Faux News that Iran is "one week away from producing a nuclear bomb."

Somehow Steve Witkoff now has magical information on Iran's nuclear program.

Worse, he admitted that Dummkopf Trumpf's illegal act of war against Iran in June 2025 failed to cripple their nuclear-bomb making capabilities.

Dummkopf Trumpf and USSECDEF Pete Hegseth both hailed those strikes as successful in destroying Iran's bomb-making capabilities.

*** Iran Purchased Advanced MANPAD Systems from Russia ***

"Iran agreed to a secret 500 millionn Euro arms deal with Russia to acquire thousands of advanced shoulder-fired missiles in its most significant effort to rebuild air defenses shattered during last year's war with Israel. The agreement, signed in Moscow in December, commits Russia to deliver 500 man-portable "Verba" launch units and 2,500 "9M336" missiles over three years.

Under the Verba contract, the deliveries are scheduled in three tranches, running from 2027 through 2029. One person familiar with the transaction said it was possible a smaller number of the systems could have been already delivered to Iran."

~snip~

America's sanctions and isolation against Iran have driven them deep and tight with the Kremlin and both Tehran and Moscow need each other against their enemies: Ukraine and Israel.

Any US attack against Iran now or in the future must take into account these advanced Russian MANPAD systems. US jet fighters are expensive and the lives of our Servicemembers are even dearer. Casualties and destroyed fighter craft will quickly make war with Iran unpopular.

The American people are sick and tired of war and a system that spends trillions of dollars on the miliary-industrial complex making oligarchs wealthy, but spending ZERO federal dollars on universal healthcare, as enjoyed by the residents of Germany, Israel, Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Taiwan, Albania, or the UK.
