NCTC Director Joe Kent resigns in protest over the war with Iran, citing a lack of imminent threats and Israel lobby pressure.
@newsguyusa I hope Joe and Mika read this and maybe reconsider having the Israel lobby on their show to explain the Netanyahu view, to conflate opposition to Netanyahu and right-wing Israeli politics with anti-semitism.
@newsguyusa "The precious lives of our patriots" oh dear, it's one of those who actually believe the MAGA bullshit.
@edgeofeurope @newsguyusa complete with the "Jews rule the world" bullshit.
@newsguyusa
What a complete failure of Trump's agenda. They actually had one competent person left in the regime. /s

@mcpinson @newsguyusa Kent is part of the incompetent MAGA clown show. A nut job from western WA state. Some quotes & a link to the source:

"Kent has long espoused conspiracy theories — including about the 2020 general election and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol — and carried ties to far right-wing extremist groups, such as the Proud Boys."

@newsguyusa I don't know. I think Zelenski might have them.

The cards.

@newsguyusa That was carefully written to appease our Narssistic tyrant but it maybe too little too late.
@newsguyusa he’s an extremist himself, but maybe he also does not want to be at the helm when Iran retaliates with terrorism.

@newsguyusa Putting aside my country's (Israel) criminal actions in Gaza and Netanyahu's influence on Trump, this guy is not someone whose opinion you should value.

Joseph Kent is an America-first Republican who also opposes supporting Ukraine. His blaming Israel for the death of his wife in Syria in 2019 is... unsound, to be polite.

His accusations of an all powerful Israel lobby coercing the US into all wars in the Middle East are resonant of antisemtic rhetoric.

@urig @newsguyusa It's not his opinion that's of interest; but the fact that a trump-picked kool-aide drinker is so visibly breaking with dear leader.
UK security adviser ā€˜attended’ US-Iran talks and judged deal was within reach

Exclusive: Jonathan Powell thought Tehran’s ā€˜surprising’ offer on its nuclear programme could prevent rush to war, sources say

The War Development(s) That Should Truly Scare Us

How Iran could speed up de-dollarization and how Trump could put boots on the ground in Iran—sort of.

@newsguyusa, it abolutely blows my mind how, the members of this administration always take extraordinary precautions to put the blame anywhere but on the main decision maker for his decisions. This letter is a magistral demonstration of how to disaprove of someone without ever taking one's mouth out of that someone's behind. (starting a slow clap...)
