Sure, It Was The "Ghost of Kuwait"...

 ... but even US Air and Space Forces magazine has to admit: 

Iran has developed air defense systems that can use passive infrared sensors rather than radar to target aircraft, a solution that previously proved effective in Yemen when employed by the Iranian-backed Houthis, which downed around half a dozen MQ-9 Reapers during Operation Rough Rider last year. The stealthy F-35 evades radar, but infrared sensors home in on heat. The F-35 is now one of around 20 U.S. Air Force aircraft known to be damaged or destroyed in the nearly three-week-old Iran war.

So, let me clarify. 

1. F-35 DOES NOT "evade radar", it is pure BS. It has lower signature in the front semisphere. It is totally detectible;

2. What is "around" 20 aircraft? 19? 22? 25? 

Well, make your own conclusions. But, it will take USAF some time for getting used to that, since this is the FIRST time in many decades that it encountered an actual air defense which is newer than was AD in Yugoslavia--by a generation, if not two--and that getting high on fairy tales by 404 on issues of AD and air combat is not good for your health, both physical and mental. I know they still run Top Gun: Maverick in selected theaters. I do prefer, however, the first one--fun and great soundtrack. Ah yes, Kelly McGillis at her stunning top self. To those who still consume this "stealth" BS, MQ-9 Reaper drone is also "stealthy", yet somehow they are falling from the skies. Yes, it was very successful against mighty Taliban air force and air defense. 

Here is poor-poor dear Stephen Miller's reaction during Trump's speech on his victories in Iran. 

Something went wrong, but what? /s

It Is All Interconnected ...

 ... Larry Wilkerson is straight forward with this whole Mossad and IDF thing. 

Cannot get any clearer than that, but we knew this, if not knew then suspected anyway. So, this should not come as a surprise at all. Meanwhile, in other theater: 

UN, March 23. /TASS/. The Kyiv regime, refusing to negotiate and continuing the war, will soon face new conditions for resolving the conflict. This was stated by Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, at a meeting of the Security Council on Ukraine, convened at the request of Kyiv. "The President of Russia has repeatedly confirmed that we are unequivocally committed to a negotiated solution and achieving the goals of the NWO by diplomatic methods, but since the Kyiv regime is not ready for this and, instigated by its European friends, is going to continue to fight at any cost. He will soon have to face new settlement conditions," Nebenzya said.

This is for those who lose focus. I, obviously, cannot vouch for 4 (four) S-400 systems (whatever that means) delivered to Iran, but it becomes clear that WSJ's lamentations are not baseless. 

And Israel's attempts at striking Bandar-Enzeli port at Caspian Sea is an indicator of them understanding that the line Astrakhan-Enzeli may become a very intensive SLOC (Shipping Line Of Communications). RT is pressing me to give commentary to war criminal Lindsey Graham's statement that US marines took Ivo Jima and they can take Kharq Island. Anna Paulina already reacted: 

I am deeply upset at the lack of respect for life Senator Lindsey Graham is displaying when talking about our troops. He is acting as if they are expendable cattle. This is unacceptable and dark. There were over 26,000 American casualties at Iwo Jima.

Well, Lindsay Graham, as most of the US Congress, are as removed from real war as humanly possible. Obviously such simple things as "fire impact", "fire density", "weight of the salvo", "casualties" and other entry level terms for a platoon CO are not known by Lindsey (yeah, "a veteran") and "long range fires" are used in Pentagon (which is controlled by Israel) only when applied against the enemy. The whole notion that your troops are defenseless against long range fires of your enemy is beyond the grasp of the graduates of the US War Colleges. But yes, Top Gun: Maverick did really well at the box office.

Let us recall, the conclusion to Dune by Frank Herbert. Report on the Bene Gesserit Motives and Purposes:

The Lady Jessica was ordered to produce an Atreides daughter. The plan was to inbreed this daughter with Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, a nephew of the Baron Vladimir, with the high probability of a Kwisatz Haderach from that union. Instead, for reasons she confesses have never been completely clear to her, the concubine Lady Jessica defied her orders and bore a son. This alone should have alerted the Bene Gesserit to the possibility that a wild variable had entered their scheme. But there were other far more important indications that they virtually ignored: In the face of these facts, one is led to the inescapable conclusion that the inefficient Bene Gesserit behavior in this affair was a product of an even higher plan of which they were completely unaware!

"An even higher plan." But how can you explain a child of five what System of Systems is and what this (among many other things) ...

... a simple MDP (Markov Decision Process) with three states (green circles) and two actions (orange circles), with two rewards (orange arrows) is, and how strategies are developed. Impossible in the culture shaped by Hollywood and GIGO. Repeating "the spice must flow" many times doesn't change anything unless you are aware and internalize. For those who want some idea about Markov Chain--here is an excellent intro. 

Try it, it is not as hard as it seems for intro level. 

The Hunt For Scapegoat Has Officially ...

 ... started. 

Now, Pete, get ready to be thrown under the bus and maybe then you will recognize that everything you believe in and what you "know" about REAL war is a steaming pile of bovine excrement. Your boss in desperate attempts to save his own ass will sacrifice every single of you, because for him you are just pawns. So, get ready to whatever comes your way and it ain't going to be pretty. 

He Thinks That He Is Very Sophisticated ...

 ... strategist. Already the whole world laughs at him. 

Iranian embassy in South Africa reacted. 

This is embarrassing. 

Strait Of Gingrich ...

 ... in his wet dreams. Trump lies because he cannot govern. NYT tries to "report" on how the US is Israel's slap-bitch. Utter military humiliation. 

First Photos ...

 ... of Trump "negotiating" with Iran.

It would have been hilarious if it wouldn't represent a national calamity with a pathetic madman at the helm. Man without honor, integrity and even basic tool kit for governance. I will omit here the whole Epstein saga. The process of the US losing its sovereignty to Israel is complete.  

Meanwhile The Situation ...

 ... in the world.
