Truly, this turned into a murder mystery of sorts (who killed @alexberenson?), only the answer has big Sopranos vibes.
Trust me, it's even better than you think. And it took three passes at Twitter's internal files to figure it out, and I still don't know all of it. But I will.
Hilarious
You have to kinda love the fact @elonmusk - the OWNER of X - still can’t control what he sees
(I mean, I guarantee you this doesn’t happen with his Tesla)
It makes no sense but because you take no questions it’s fine
Hamas will pay for killing hostages! But first, a ceasefire for delicious snacks!
ALT: Kill now, pay later! It’s the Biden/Harris foreign policy installment plan
You don't have to pretend, @JamesSurowiecki. The country (sadly) doesn't care, so you can afford to be honest about this.
Try it! Try not seeing EVERYTHING through a point-scoring partisan lens. It's fun, you might like it. Once upon a time it was called journalism.
Going to forward operating bases, much less outside the wire, carries real risk (and I would not expect a member of Congress to do so, tho it would be nice if one did). But landing at Bagram for a night and not leaving is about as dangerous as a layover at O'Hare. As Walz knows.
It's completely deceptive; he wants the audience to believe - at a minimum - he engaged in a deep fact-finding tour, not that he toe-touched Bagram for a night. Really, he would like them to think he served there too, he is intentionally vague.
And it's part of a larger pattern.

11 months after Oct. 7, it seems clear both sides in Gaza underestimated the other (the oldest story in war).
Israel underestimated Hamas's abilities, Hamas underestimated Israel's resolve (and thought it would get more help).
This war doesn't begin to end until Sinwar is dead.
Look, if I had a family member held hostage, I’d want them freed at any cost too. But this is why the families don’t make policy; it’s another version of the “if we can save just one life” fallacy blue states indulged in during Covid. Only the stakes are even higher for Israel.
Our enemy has just killed helpless hostages, proving once again it views us as lambs to be slaughtered. Obviously the only answer is to… quit fighting!
Major news organizations wanted you to believe that this position had huge support in Israel (or any country, ever).
