The United States attended India’s International Fleet Review and MILAN 2026 training events, just days before attacking an unarmed Iranian warship that had also been in attendance.

India held their first MILAN event in 1995, and has since hosted additional events every two years. The event requires vessels be unarmed or carrying minimal munitions. The United States had also previously attended in 2022 and 2024.

The Iranian ship was attacked on March 4, less than a week after the conclusion of MILAN 2026 on February 26.

Having frequently attended these exercises, the United States likely knew the IRIS Dena was not carrying munitions as they torpedoed the returning Iranian vessel.

For Trump everything is a legitimate target. The US are in for a hell of a terror wave when the dormant cells start waking up.

Shutting down the department whose job it is to watch for that sort of thing in the US was such an inspired idea.

Seriously: I’m… honestly both in awe and aghast at how fucking blatant the regime is being about it. They’ve literally shut down the team that is in charge of addressing and categorizing security threats to the US originating from Iran immediately before starting a fucking war with Iran. Like… I just… what the actual fuck. I can’t even.

Between this and the documents leaked about their plans for the election, the intent couldn’t be more obvious if they put it on a fucking billboard. I hate that it comes down to such imbecilically stupid and petty US political bullshit like that, and that it’s killing so many people and fucking up so may other parts of the world… but seriously, I really think that was a massive part of their rationale here. It’s a distraction (operation Epstein fury), combined with creating an extremely obvious opening for an asymmetrical/terroristic threat that will be used as a justification for removing the electoral process. That’s the plan.

Oh they learned their lesson from the past when our own intelligence contradicts the war crimes we commit. Solution? Get rid of the intelligence.

I’ve moved into a chronic nausea as a result of this news year. I’m literally nauseous during my daily news reading. I want to escape the descent into hell caused by my moron neighbors who never bothered to learn about the world or value anything good in life and instead chose pure depravity to wash over us all.
