From a very high level intel source. In Asia. NOT Russia-China. Although the strategic partnership, of course, exchanges at the highest level 24-7.
Confirmed and re-confirmed.
It will be great to know what Sy Hersh hears from his Beltway sources.
Here we go.
Israel initially chose to respond with extreme force. An F-35 loaded with a nuclear bomb was sent east over Jordan. The mission: cause a high-altitude detonation over Iran that would provoke a surge in the high-capacity power lines, crippling Iran's electric grid, as well as disabling all electronic devices. An EMP attack.
However...
... As the Israeli F-35 was leaving Jordanian airspace it was shot down by the Russian Air Force. Hence the publicised version of the Israeli counter response was such a travesty. In the end all sides decided not to publicise the real news - to de-escalate what could well turn into WWIII. 12:51 PM · Apr 20, 2024 ·
Fucking hell! If there's any truth to that at all I'm hitting that bottle of morphine I've been saving in my sock drawer tonight.
There do seem to be a fair few holes in that though: F35 has a ceiling of 15,000m and, apparently, air detonation to create an EMP has to be at 25,000 plus. Also, the F35 being the platform for HEMP attack seems a bit weird. He's giving it the "confirmed and reconfirmed" but meh, Pepe doesn't usually come out with nonsense. Who knows?
Even so, just hearing it reported is seriously disturbing. These fuckers have got to be stopped....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
This would have to be approved by the US paymaster... granted Biden is somewhat mentally challenged but I really can't see the US administration approving contaminating the Worlds upper atmosphere so that Israel can score points in what is in reality a pissing contest with Iran.
I am surprised Pepe would come out with fake news. Depends on his sources i.e. he trusts them etc.
Meanwhile the distance between (say) Jerusalem and Isfahan is 800 km. The maximum range of F35 is 1200 km (depends on payload). Israel does not have in flight refuelling facilities. If they use a Jordanian air strip for refuelling, perhaps it can be done (and return).
I did see someone mention on the X thread something about "that would explain that US refueling plane circling at xyz" but didn't bother going down that particular rabbit hole.
It's possible of course that his sources have used him to put this out knowing it is false for whatever reason.
It's sort of worrying that reading this your first reaction is "Yeh, sounds like something these lunatics would think was a good idea". ...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

Well, as we know, Israel hasn't moved beyond the " rabid dog" notion of international affairs...essentially remaining in this primitive condition because it doesn't need to develop, as it of course has the world's richest most belligerent superpower behind it.
On a personal basis it is also run by an unpopular criminal who must keep the country in a state of permanent emergency ( not hard as they are the most propagandised shower of shits who ever walked the earth, as any vox pop will inform you )all just in case his fellows get bored, remember that fact and pop him in the clink on charges.
So... Take a country being run by a criminal with a rabid population believing they are the "chosen people" / "master race"... then back them up with a president ( or any candidate even : they are all supporters) who requires the votes of an eschatological bunch of US "end of days" loonies who see Jews in Israel as the golden key to fit the lock to their own personal rapture & heavenly ascension, then the idea that they would let a nuclear bomb off in the high atmosphere in what is essentially no more than, as I said, a small pissing contest between nations is as eminently believable as the steps leading up to it are eminently insane, but there you are.
Is it true? Are we that far gone ? I still doubt it but that doesn't mean it hasn't occurred to them that doing something as unprecedented unpredictable and lunatic as that might be seen as a kind of righteous unrolling of the carpet for many reasons: we are not dealing with overtly rational people.
it was being trailed in press as a possibility beforehand nm
