🚨 Urgent Alert: Afghanistan's Escalating Terror Threat 🚨 In recent months, Afghanistan has become a breeding ground for terrorist activities, posing an imminent threat to global security. With over 21 terrorist groups operating in its borders, the lack of a legitimate government has turned Afghanistan into the world's most prominent terror training center. The Special Operations Association of America (SOAA) calls on policymakers, stakeholders, and citizens to recognize this escalating danger and take immediate, decisive action. Discover more about this alarming situation and listen to Ahmad Massoud's insights on the Shawn Ryan podcast. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/emR4XDeR 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e8S_UN5b Shawn Ryan Sarah Adams The Shawn Ryan Show Scott Mann Ali Maisam Nazary Jazz Cannon Ben Owen Timothy T.

🔔 Statement from the Special Operations Association of America 🔔 The recent attempted assassination of President Donald Trump is a sobering reminder of the importance of unity and peaceful political discourse. At SOAA, we condemn this act of violence and call for a thorough investigation to prevent future security lapses. "The attempted assassination of President Trump is a stark reminder of the fragility of our democratic process. It is a call to action for all Americans to come together, set aside differences, and reject violence in any form." – Daniel Elkins, Founder and President of SOAA As a nation, we must honor the sacrifices of our brave men and women in uniform by preserving the integrity of our democratic process. Let us come together, reject hostility, and embrace unity. Read our full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eFjeP9Ay #Unity #Democracy #RejectViolence #SOAA #SpecialOperations #Leadership

Open-Source Intelligence (#OSINT) is more important now than ever before. The withdrawal from Afghanistan, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and terror attacks on the rise, have all led to a more dangerous world. With overseas military deployments decreasing by the day, our intelligence collection capabilities have gone with them. More and more information is public every day and offers unique threat indicators to monitor and assess state adversaries and transnational criminal organizations. As the OSINT Foundation says: OSINT is the "INT of first resort" nowadays and deserves more attention from both the private and public sector to create a whole-of-society approach to countering irregular threats that attempt to subvert our Great Nation. We thank all those who participated and attended our panel event at the Library of Congress on Monday. Special thanks to Congressman Darrell Issa and ShadowDragon for sponsoring such a timely and important event.
