    It’s odd because don’t see how a day of delay would help conceal information people use to protest the war. If they stopped publishing images of the region altogether, that’d make sense for the Trump regime’s goals. A mere day of delay though… Just makes them and the European admin who complied look bad.

      Adding day of delay is a valid military request that countries can have an agreement about.

      Completely censoring the information is an anti-democratic request that a wannabe dictator would make and thus would be a scandal to include in an international agreement.

      I can’t see the point of Trump’s policy either. But I stopped trying to search for those a while ago, it’s probably some dumb person doing the only thing they can to make Trump happy and not caring about what it really achieves.

        Iran likely has imagery from China’s satellites, so delaying it is still moot.

    Okay, there are countries outside of this jurisdiction that provide good satellite imagery. Trying to hide the images is not going to work and only underscores the fact that the west is losing the war.
