🇺🇸⚡️- The shooter is reportedly from Greensboro, North Carolina with a voter registration in the state as "unaffiliated."

His social media presence is a swarm of rabidly pro-Ukraine and pro-Taiwan content, including previous contempt for Trump as late as the 2020 US elections.

Routh also owns a roofing company, apparently out of North Carolina as well.

— Trump says the debate was 3 vs 1, but that they were all retarded and he's an 'extraordinary genius'.

Post was taken from his Truth Social about 2 days ago.

— 🇮🇷/🇾🇪 About Yemen's missile strike on Israel; it's almost certain that they used their domestic variant of the Iranian Kheybar Shekan-2 hypersonic ballistic missile, revealed a few months ago as 'Hatem-2'

Before that, Yemen announced they had started domestic production of Iran's original Kheybar Shekan under the name 'Palestine' (Falasteen). The Kheybar Shekan-2 or 'Hatem-2' is simply an upgraded version of this missile with a hypersonic warhead and added range and maneuvers.

Images: Hatem-2 hypersonic missile released months ago (left image) and Iran's Kheybar Shekan-2 (right image); as can be seen, the missiles are nearly identical, except that Yemen uses lesser quality materials.

— 🇾🇪/🇮🇱 As for why the impact of the Hatem-2 (Iran's Kheybar Shekan-2) was limited, there are four main theories:

1. Yemen lightens the warheads of its ballistic missiles to increase the range, as Yemen is much further from Israel than Iran. This would lead to a lesser warhead and less impact.

2. Yemeni production of Iranian missiles are lesser quality, both in terms of the materials used and the production methods applied. The missile might have disintegrated shortly before impact, due to the immense heat.

3. An Israeli air defense intercepted the missile just before impact, and the small craters / fires are a result of the shrapnel falling down.

4. Yemen somehow used a cluster warhead. This is unlikely because this specific missile hasn't been seen with a cluster warhead before, and its warhead is already relatively light.
