US base in Erbil bombed by unknown enemy forces.

https://twitter.com/AmichaiStein1/status/1502776499358863360

Attack seems more serious than the usual drone or rebel rocket

Ballistic missiles likely fired from Iran. Direct hits on the area of the US consulate in Erbil unclear if there are any casualties at this time.

This explains all these strange phenomena such as thieves harassing the military bases, soldiers being forced into gay prostitution, etc. I don't think Putin personally ordered that (though he might). But he purposefully destroys the army mythos, to eliminate a rival for power

The Russian military basically being the bottom bitches in the state was pretty obvious when you look at their 'regular' equipment vs. what Kadyrov and his men carry.

reading a little about this (grain of salt with how information gets disseminated online) it sounds like there was zero opsec, apparently anyone who emailed the ukrainian embassy in the UK was sent the location of the foreign legion training facility so the russians probably knew where to bomb for weeks
