Border crisis
We've all seen this before wrt bosses and stats. While the ICE mission, supposedly, of ridding our cities of violent intl gangs, which one could argue crosses lines with say local, state, and FBI LE orgs, seems just and righteous, their TTPs are way off in execution. ICE/DHS leadership sucks. IMO, they care more about tweets, headlines, etc than actually performing a leadership job. All they want are numbers, not real substantial arrests, which takes a way lot more work. The ICE dude that just got relieved apparently twit spars on the socials, spends time with interviews and sparring there, and so on, vs maybe doing his leadership job. ICE/DHS has lost here, and elsewhere, because they did it wrong. Killing Americans, violating rights of Americans, has turned ICE into the gestapo. Papers? Congress has failed in its job too. DHS/ICE leadership is incompetent. Agents will be left holding the bag when the justice orgs come around to pin accountability. @slc WRT Shwalm, man I just learned how to do insurgency. Joking aside, if what he says is true, the other side is winning. They're calling draw plays with huge gains with every kid used as bait, every mom beat up, every pinned down dude pepper sprayed, and every person shot and killed. I have yet to see a perp walk of 50 Somali gangsters, which if they did only that kind of work, did it every week, and not some poor kid doing roofing jobs out of a Home Depot parking lot, then ICE would be winning hearts and minds. BTW, the Minni Somali gang hood is much further south, across the MS river (thanks googs). It's come to the point that ICE is now spending more time fighting crowds than doing their normal job. As such, they've become ineffective. The goon squad approach has backfired bigly. PS. I wonder how much of that 2 hr meeting w/ Trump was spent with Noem begging to keep her job.

You give him too much credit. Now I think this is just a Wag the Dog to take steam off of stuff like Epstein files and ICE killings, etc.

So the price to our allies for leading the team is their land? Like a whole country worth? How about, if we don't want to be part of NATO and all that it entails, we just leave it. Its a marriage we set up and led, worms and all. Meanwhile, Putin is chanting "Fight Fight Fight" like an episode of Jerry Springer, which is so true its sad. And we're the battered wife? SMH.

Auditioning for the big job, maybe?

In GWOT, the shit job was TCN Duty. Now that Trump is promising security to Big Oil if they get back into Ven, who want to sign up for OFSP Duty (Oil Field Security Post)? I think BO is gonna run out the clock on spending more funds there seeing as lots of em are owed $$Bils from 2 previous seizures. Except maybe Chevon. I hear they're already there under some sort of deal so perhaps there's a few expansion opportunities.

Venez oil ain't going anywhere anytime soon. Way too much risk.

Has anyone had to deal with EO? Looking for some advice if things get spicy.
Send your files to Pete and let him take care of it. I am, of course, kidding. Or am I? Yes, definitely.

Iran has gone completely sideways
Step on the gas. I'm hoping we have some inside people ready to throw a molitov at the right target at the right time, fire up the mob with the right chant, but don't go as far as streaking in the quad. That's when you lose em and they go back home.

Over on main stream media (WSJ) is a 4+ min long vid showing off the planes and people (with nametags) highlighting capes and recent destruction. If my mug was in any of those vids, I'd be livid. Why show who and how?

I know. It's like the DOJ doesn't want the world to know he's a nipple man. Who isnt?
