Two unexpected points in @IgnatiusPost’s skillful (an probably futile) bit of Trump-whispering: 1) “More than any president in recent memory, he’s ready to steer a course independent from Israel.” 2) “But Israel can’t end this war, militarily or diplomatically.”

Lead story on @latimes: Not defending all ICE behavior, but why would LAT editors think it odd or offensive that agents whose job it is to arrest lots of illegals would brag when they are able to arrest lots of illegals?” https://t.co/Y5utiHGMwq

“In one instance, Israel proposed loading helicopters with commandos who could fight their way into the facility and blow it up – an option that Trump has dismissed, according to people familiar with the matter.” Dismissed ? War’s an area where disinformation really happens.

Re: regime change. My impression is that if the democratic, modern, middle class opposition takes power in Iran, THEY WILL WANT NUCLEAR WEAPONS TOO. That’d be rational for any Iranian government: compare Ukraine, Libya to N. Korea. What do we do then? https://t.co/kVQQgNJ7ol

Not sure “Shock & Awe” now applies to ICE. Thanks to cell phones, remember, migrants have near-perfect info. If ICE makes a big show but doesn’t deport many people, migrants will find out from their cousins, etc. Likewise if ICE quietly busts everyone in X industry, they’ll know
