The second group of 6x F-22As is now flying across the Atlantic to Lakenheath.
I suspect all 12 F-22As will move to the Middle East together tomorrow.
The initial plan for limited strikes was crippled by the extremely harsh crackdown on the protesters. Had the protests still had the momentum of the 9th/10th, even limited strikes could have had a major impact.
Given the situation now, a large air campaign will be needed.
The U.S. was prepared to launch a strike on Iran as early as January 14
Given the assets being moved into the region, it is clear that any strike will be a large-scale operation. A likely objective will be to decapitate the regime, hence the preparation for full Iranian retaliation.
Several U.S. Air Force combat search and rescue (CSAR) assets are currently flying from the U.S. towards Europe/Middle East.
Two HC-130J Combat Kings out of Patrick Space Force Base, FL and a C-17 left Moody Air Force Base likely carrying 41st Rescue Squadron assets.
The video also shows that the agent who fired the shots drew his weapon as the other agent, wearing a grey jacket, removed the victim’s handgun from the holster in his waistband.
The agent grabs his arm, startling him and causing him to fire one round. After being shot, the victim attempts to get up and is able to do so because the other agents release him, having also been startled. The shooting agent then fires rounds two, three, and four at the victim.
🧵The final agent to enter the frame approaches the agent who fired the shots from behind. During this approach, he accidentally grabs the other agent’s left arm. This leads the agent to believe that someone is trying to grab his weapon, causing him to discharge the first shot.
Imagine going back 15 years and telling Republicans this:
One day, you will cheer federal agents for killing people who were carrying firearms while exercising their Second Amendment rights.
Trump has reached a deal with the Iranian regime. The U.S. will not launch an attack on Iran, in return Iran sends IRGC instructors to the U.S. to teach ICE how to deal with protesters.
Looks very likely that the man killed by ICE was disarmed by an ICE agent prior to being shot several times.
An agent walks away with a handgun that matches the handgun the man was carrying.
The pistol the officer walks away with has an optic mounted on it and looks very likely to be a match to the weapon it is stated that the man was carrying.
The officer in the grey jacket enters the altercation unarmed, reaches over the man as others hold him down and then walks away with a pistol in his hand.
It appears that this officer managed to disarm the suspect prior to the first shots.
Immediately after the first shots, the officer can be seen some distance from the man, but the bottle of mace is seen dropping at the feet of the man.
There is the possibility that the man attempted to (and possibly succeeded in) grabbing the bottle of mace.
Another officer wearing a coyote colored beanie is armed with a bottle of mace in his right hand. Just prior to the shooting in screenshot 2 he can be seen beating the man with the bottle of mace several times.
Immediately after the first shots, the officer's scatter and the initial shooter fires several more rounds while backing up, as the man is lying motionless on the ground.
First shots were fired by this officer as the person attempts to get back to his feet. The shots were fired into the man's back from the officer as seen in screenshot 2.
🧵What does the video of the latest ICE shooting show us? A break down of what is visible:
Trump's "Board of Peace" is just a list of countries where you can't safely drink tap water.
Peter Thiel's Polymarket reporting made up bullshit about an offer to purchase Greenland, which incidentally happens to align with one of Peter Thiel’s long-standing ambitions.?
Nothing suspicious about that at all.

Trump actually kidnapped Maduro for advice on financial policy.
Let’s see if MAGA continues to hold this opinion during their next January 6th once they get sweeped in the midterms
The funniest part of the “we need Greenland to defend the Arctic from Russia” argument is that the U.S. already has a far more practical and effective way to limit Russia’s threat, and it is actively choosing not to use it.
The Russians don’t want you to know this but the oil tankers in the Atlantic are free you can take them home I have 5 oil tankers.
Russia is going to have to come to terms with being a regional power soon.
Riding the side of an MH-6 250NM off the coast of Iceland in January is a vibe.
Hope they layered up.
Official reporting that a U.S. boarding operation is underway.
The BELLA 1 / MARINERA just made an odd turn due south and decelerated.
Now technically sailing in the direction of the Ireland and the UK rather than towards Russia.
No indication as of yet as to why.
BELLA 1 / MARINERA is approaching an area where weather conditions are more favorable for conducting a boarding operation.
