— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 In Trump's recent 'Person of the Year' interview with TIME Magazine, he made some notable remarks:

When asked if he trusts Netanyahu, he replied, 'I don’t trust anybody'.

In response to a question about the 'chances of going to war with Iran' during his next term, he stated: 'Anything can happen. It's a very volatile situation. The most dangerous thing right now is what's happening, where Zelensky has decided, with the President's approval, to start shooting missiles into Russia. That’s a major escalation and a foolish decision.'

When asked about greenlighting the annexation of the West Bank, he dodged the question, stating, 'I want a long-lasting peace. You can do it two-state, but there are numerous ways it can be done.'

*The interview was conducted on November 25 and published on December 12.

— 🇹🇷 For now, there is no truth to the reports of a Turkish invasion in northern Syria.

— 🇹🇷 Turkey invasion news confirmed fake, as I already suspected.

Some buildup of Turkish troops on the border, but nothing noteworthy yet & no entry into Syria.

— Regardless of how funny it would be, these are very obviously not 'Iranian drones' launched from a 'mothership', as some American congressmen have claimed.

The Pentagon also says they're not U.S. military nor 'any foreign adversary'. Honestly, I dont believe them regarding the latter.

In my opinion, there's only two feasible options on what these drones are.

1. China – and the U.S. wants to keep it under wraps in order to avoid mass chaos among the population.

2. A huge U.S. Government psyop, for an unknown reason. The drones are almost being presented as UFOs, having 'no heat signature' and being undetectable etc.
