Charlie Kirk Case

I read something about the ballistics of the bullet not matching the gun. The FBI better have good forensics on that roof top. With the lack of DNA evidence there is no case. There are no witnesses. The DNA evidence will be strong but still circumstantial.

I will give you my take on this. 

The wound Mr. Kirk suffered was an assassin’s wound. The bullet severed the jugular vein. There is no rescuing that. Holding pressure isn’t going to do much good. It is a large vein that drains deoxygenated blood from the head, brain, and face. It was a fatal shot. 

That shot, unless it was a lucky chance by an amateur, was carried out by a marksman. The knowledge of anatomy enters the picture. That is not a kid with ideas. That is a practiced marksman.

My question is why would anyone want to kill the guy? He was a wiseass Republican with dictatorial discourse that young Republicans found entertaining. They tried to mimic him because he made money at it. My best guess is that someone was jealous of him. Not for his wife, but, for his success. Who would be so jealous of him stealing the Republican limelight his death would be desirable to hire an assassin? I am not convinced it was a rooftop. It was a precision shot.

Straits of Hormuz

The Persian Gulf was seeing uninhibited ship traffic until the peace talks were abandoned by Trump. As soon as the peace talks broke down ships began to navigate away from the Persian Gulf. 

There is no indication of mines in the Gulf.

The allies don’t see the Gulf as a problem. That is why they are not participating in silly blockades.

There won’t be any ship traffic because the shipping companies worry more about the USA than Iran. The USA always has its finger on the trigger. That is the issue. It is the USA complicating the entire picture with Iran.

I don’t see peaceful use of nuclear energy as a hurdle. The IAEA would have to be involved as the damage to Iran’s infrastructure is so extensive. They would need experts assessing the return to the use of nuclear power.

The uranium used for peaceful power is different. When the talks broke down the holds on Iran using enrichment for military use broke down as well. The Trump administration is dangerous in it’s inconsistent policies and dictatorial style of foreign affairs.
