How many times are you going to fall for the "two weeks away from a bomb" bullshite?



Evidently either they suck, or they lie a lot.

I can agree with this. China. And it is the right thing to do.

Maybe bigger reason than nukes

Did you miss his resignation letter?

President Trump,

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation.

In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS.

Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.

As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.

I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards.

It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation.

Just like the 51 of intelligence officials that signed a statement saying the Hunter Biden laptop was fake?

The same Israeli intelligence that knew the locations of all the top Iranians and dropped bombs on them.

If enrichment was for peaceful purposes, why was it enriched deep in secret underground bunkers.

It does bring up a good question about when we believe the IC. As I said in another thread today, the problem for outsiders is we don’t know which are the political hacks and which are the straight shooters.

Keep falling for that Israeli propaganda, bro.

Then why won’t the Iranians end it by agreeing to end their nuclear weapons program? Hmmm.

Israel’s been telling us for 40 years Iran is close to a nuke. They also told us Iraq did too. All bullshite.
