Had to say I told you so ( collectively speaking).

 

So you do not know the different types of Intel? These Intel Background People you follow appear to be similar to this:

 

I want to be extremely clear on this:

With #3 are you suggesting that the US military during our time in Iraq killed more civilians than Russia has in Ukraine? Or are you suggesting that the US military intentionally targeted Iraqi civilian hospitals and non-defense related facilities to kill civilians?

 

The Kremlin might not want to get too excited about what's going on to their west; they might want to check out what could be happening to their east in the near future. China might be interested in invading Siberia to claim the gold, diamonds, oil, gas, and rare earth minerals. Putin is going to crap his pants when he hears about this. The Ukraine War has left Russia broke and unable to defend itself. Would the U.S. do anything to stop China from taking Siberia? Trump may be Russia's only hope, and he can't be trusted. He's more likely to make a deal with Xi to split the loot, unless Putin threatens Trump with some pictures from long ago . . .

China wants to invade Siberia, not Taiwan

 

Russia has another top general killed by Ukraine. Russian Navy deputy commander Mikhail Gudkov was killed in Kursk by a missile. He is one of the most senior Russian military leaders killed in the war. He was in charge of marines in Kursk.

Thile above was a little too much for vaxcardinal. As if the CIA, FBI, Dept of Defense, NSA and State Dept aren't corrupt, for example.

My point is simple. Intel is widely available from numerous sources. Yossef Bodansky's book "Osama bin Laden, The Man Who Declared War on America" (March 1999) is a good example. At the back of the book Bodansky lists several hundred newspapers and periodicals he used to gather Intel. That taught me how much Intel can be gathered from open sources.

CaptUSMCNole seems to believe you need to work for some gov't entity to be good at gathering Intel.

I think you can gather good info by listening to experts on social media and podcasts like The Duran. Hundreds and thousands of sources are utilizeded to compile Duran podcasts (ultimately). Telegram channels are quite useful, for example. 50 X accounts one reads might each be looking at dozens of Intel sources. Mercouris reads a lot of newspapers. Each paper relies on sources and each of those sources has sources and so on.

If I want to know what's happening in Ethiopia would I listen to our State Dept, which backed the genocidal Tigrayan Peoples Liberation Front? No. The Tligrayan people are just 6% of Ethiopia's population and only 50% of Tigrayans (perhaps) support the TPLF. Why was Antony Blinken backing the TPLF when it was supported by only 3% of Ethiopians? Obviously our State Dept was, and is still perhaps, corrupt (too many holdovers).

Look how 90+% of Too Hot posters lost their minds and objectivity and refused to recognize obvious genociding and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Many of the same posters have lost all objectivity on Ukraine and Russia

 

I simply asked a question:

"3) Who did a better job of killing soldiers while sparing civilians, the US [in Iraq] or Russia [in Ukraine]?"

 

China's foreign minister tells EU that Beijing cannot afford Russia to lose in Ukraine, media reports

 

Is @vegasfox a Russian troll farm? Sorry, veg, I just have to ask.

 

My intel says yes
