elections are logistics of democracy. speculating on those logistics is done during “political campaigns.” maximum pressure was the political policy to not let the irgc have a nuke. the political policy failed. kinetic policy or “military campaign” is triggered. speculating on that is illegal.

zero sources at the state department btw - it’s just how well they open their sources to the media who don’t use them. being used to having spoon-fed pressers from state has either made the media very lazy or they were always very stupid. cant decide.

mozambique signed a deal to let the trade commission have a pre-feasibility study for mining. some claim the studies shown to the ccp were fraudulent. since china keeps having military purges and generals vanish - i’d say there is validity to the rumors. www.ustda.gov/ustda-partne...
