Tulsi Gabbard left no doubt when she testified to Congress about Iran’s nuclear program earlier this year.
The country was not building a nuclear weapon, the national intelligence director told lawmakers, and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program even though it had enriched uranium to higher levels.
But Donald Trump dismissed the assessment of U.S. spy agencies during an overnight flight back to Washington as he cut short his trip to the Group of Seven summit to focus on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
“I don’t care what she said,” Trump told reporters. In his view, Iran was “very close” to having a nuclear bomb.
Quick, dust off the “weapons of mass destruction” propaganda.
In [Trump’s] view, Iran was “very close” to having a nuclear bomb.
Those are clearly Netanyahu’s words in his mouth. Netanyahu has been loudly and confidently saying that at regular intervals since 2012. Iran is always weeks away.
At the same time Isreal is like the only country that probably has nukes yet refuses to acknowledge it.
They’re pretty open about it
You mean 2002?
We have done this dance before last time it cost me my 20s my sanity and most importantly a huge amount for friends I loved like brothers who died before and are still killing then selfs…
So we are gonna do the Iraq WMD lie again huh?
I still have people telling me it wasn’t Bush’s fault, the intelligence was bad
Of course there are ZERO valid reasons to go to war in the ME.
People still believe Iraq had WMDs to this day.
I wouldn’t tryst Gabbard on this either since she’s very likely a Russian agent and Iran is a partner to their war efforts.
Reported as “misinformation” by someone blissfully unaware of Gabbard’s history:
On the bright side, though, if Russia is actively covering for Iran and Trump is aligning against that, then Putin might finally decide Trump has outlived his usefulness as an asset and send Trump some of his special tea…
Russia only cared slightly, Trump blocked Russian sanctions already passed by Congress and stepped in to stop Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil and Russia will not burn such an asset for a minor partner catching this kind of heat (or any partner, since they “don’t have the cards” as Trump would say if he wasn’t a complete pushover for Putin)
Not only is trump ignoring this, but lots and lots of shitlibs on this site are also.
The moron just wants the war to hide his shenaningans at home. Sole reason. Everyone should know by now that he automatically denies any and every thing that runs contrary to his own personal narrative.
yeeeah… shrug, Trump ignores them all. And why shouldn’t he? They didn’t prevent him from happening, what’s the point of the CIA, NSA etc when they either knew about him & putin, and let hit happen, or, they didn’t know, even though it’s been obvious since the 80s?
Nice job Intel community, you shot us all in the face.
So we oppose US intelligence agencies overthrowing democratically elected leaders in other countries but not their own?
if your own intelligence organs don’t warn your gov that there’s a foreign power influencing the election, yeah, I think that group isn’t doing their fucking job.
him & putin
obvious since the 80s
I can see a major problem with that timeline, but I suppose wild conspiracy theories don’t have to make sense
Pretty consistently it’s been reported that Iran has been increasing its capabilities to quickly create a nuclear weapon should they need to, rather than simply embarking immediately on constructing nukes.
And honestly, at this point, they’d be stupid not to, since the main negotiator (the US) of their opposing coalition has proven to be utterly unwilling to maintain any agreements regarding denuclearization for more than 4 years at a time.
at this point a Nuke in Iranian hands would probably calm the region down
weapons of mass destruction?
We have irrefutable proof, that we can’t show you, that Iran is stoning babies in the incubators with yellow cake.
Trump is going to end up getting the spies killed like he did on his first term.
Okay so we believe Tulsi Gabbard now?
Both are Russian assets and Russia is building Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Why are the fucking Saudis so quiet? They would like to destroy their largest oil competitor, Iran, like they did with Iraq.
