Good evening, I’m still reporting on why Israel was able to destroy thousands of Iranian missiles stockpiled in Syria on Thursday night.
But instead of worrying about this very important story, the distraction of the day is this image of resident Biden busy trying to copy Trump’s style by holding a couple of events in the hinterlands. But Biden is only managing to fill halls with several hundred people. While Trump regularly speaks before tens of thousands or about 100 times as many people per event.
Look how they try to hide the wide shot in the Biden crowd.
Meanwhile back in the real world, bigtime tensions are flaring in the Middle East but the American MSM will likely not cover it at all. On Thursday night the Israeli Air Force struck multiple targets deep inside Syria, including an Iranian weapon’s storage facility where thousands of Iranian precision guided missiles were stored likely in preparation for a massive attack on Israel.
Explosions lit up the night sky and fires could be seen from a great distance for many hours.
According to an early version of the story by Israel Unwired, the Iranian missiles were precision guided weapons, not the smaller unguided rockets frequently used to terrorize Israel. Also hit by the Israeli Air Force was a research facility for the development of precision guided weaponry.
The attack dealt an overwhelming blow to something that the Iranians had obviously been planning for some time, and had been built up over the months without Israeli interference because of one important element – Russian troops had stationed batteries of deadly surface- to-air missiles that supposedly could even take out Israel’s limited supply of stealth fighter jets.
By 6 am eastern time, this morning, these reports from Israeli media sources, included stock footage of these missile batteries. But suddenly they disappeared off the internet, along with this most embarrassing explanation for the Russian forces manning them.
Due to increasing pressure by Ukraine trying to retake the south of that country from the Russians, these batteries were recently moved across the Mediterranean to try to hold off the advancing Ukrainians.
Israeli intelligence operatives quickly spotted the redeployment of the missile batteries, leaving the Iranian short-to-medium ranged ballistic missile storage facilities unprotected from the air. That’s when the IAF struck hard.
This evening, all that remains of the real story is Russia’s outrage at the Israeli attack. Without the knowledge that Russian surface-to-air batteries were moved away, the Russian outrage makes no sense. Israel attacked Iranian missile warehouses on Syrian soil. So what’s that to Russia?
Standing next to the Syrian Foreign Minister in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters that:
“… we strongly condemned the dangerous practice of Israeli strikes on Syrian territory.”
Lavrov later told Reuters:
“We demand that Israel respect the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and, above all, respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria.”
Oh, one more interesting item: Two weeks ago, an Iranian spy satellite was launched atop a Russian rocket with both Russian and Iranian officials in attendance.

So why is the elimination of Israel so important to the Mullahs of Iran? With Israel out of the military picture, Iran would be able to eventually dominate the Middle East and all it’s oil supplies.
So here’s how these China, Russia and Iran want to divide up the world in their for real “Risk” game – the old board game of the 1970s.
Russia gets Europe and Eurasia.
Iran gets the Middle East, and
China gets the rest, including the U.S.
And Slo-Joe Biden? Well, he probably hasn’t heard about any of this. He’s just trying to stay alive by reading his scripts every day.
I’m still reporting from just outside the citadel of world freedom. Good day.
