Qatar’s neutrality died on March 2. And here is the strategic consequence nobody has fully priced. The Su-24 flew at 80 feet because that is below the radar floor. Iran developed that tactic specifically because it knows Gulf air defense systems have a low-altitude blind spot. The planes were not on a reconnaissance mission. You do not arm Su-24s, fly at 80 feet across open water, and aim directly at the world’s most important US air base on a reconnaissance mission two minutes from your target. This was not a probe. This was the attempt. Qatar stopped it. But Iran now knows exactly where the radar gap is, what the intercept time looks like, and how Qatari F-15s respond under pressure. The next attempt will account for all of that.

Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew - Name him as Special Counsel to the President, name someone eligible as "Acting Secretary", but send Mullin over to DHS to work with Homan on running things.

AND/BUT it's not clear how Trump can simply announce this is effective on March 31. Mullin is not Senate-confirmed and not eligible to become acting secretary under laws governing cabinet-level vacancies.

Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew - After 5 full years in office the only intellectually honest way to evaluate Pres. Trump is on what he has done, factoring in the UNPRECEDENTED level of obstruction - much of it illegal - that he has faced, and setting aside the preconceptions of him derived from his public persona built for entertainment purposes.
