LOL I wouldn't put much stock in his comments. A Director of CounterTerrorism in a civilian agency has no need to know be involved in oversight of a military operation. Guarantee you he was not at the WH the night the bombing started.

Listened to Joe Kent's interview with Tucker Carlson the other day. The guy is very well spoken and did not diss Trump, although he had the right to. Class act. Trump has unleashed the hounds of Hell on him for not toeing the company line. Hannity, Fox News, and the DOJ. Hilarious that Trump claims to want to eliminate the weaponization of the justice system. He may be the worst offender before all is said and done.

Gavin Newsome is well-spoken, too. It's the substance that matters.
Kent has gone so far down the isolationism rabbit hole that he's now blaming Israel for all of our foreign policy problems, literally excusing the actions of an Iranian regime which has killed more Americans than any other while consistently pursuing nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Iran has admitted to having enough 60% uranium to produce 11 nuclear weapons. If true, that would put them weeks/months away from nuclear capability. (the speed of enrichment process, as a matter of physics, accelerates over time.) They have demonstrated via use this week to have long-range ballistic weapons proven capable of reaching out 4000km. The next leap is intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of striking us.
And of course, we have INDICTED two individuals involved in an assassination plot against Trump. Sorry. You try to kill a former US president running for re-election......you deserve to get your country turned into a parking lot guarded by the US military. Of course, that is hard work. But never fear, there will always be someone who seeks to avoid doing the job by insisting Israel is responsible for all of our foreign policy problems. Blaming Israel makes all foreign policy problems so very simple. Just cut $3b in aid to Israel. Let the Arabs overrun the country and send the Jews all into exile somewhere. And....voila.....the birds sing and the rainbow gleams while the whole world sings in perfect harmony the chords of a just and lasting peace. Selah, selah...as the rastas would say
Isolationism first & foremost is intellectual laziness....an attempt to define away problems rather than dealing with them.

That Israel also has those same interests does not mean that Israel has hornswoggled us. It means we have common interests ergo are close allies.

score another point for 'strategic asshattery':
>>
Twenty-two countries have now signed onto a joint statement signaling their "readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage" through the SoH.
The growing list, which includes NATO members, comes after President Donald Trump ripped NATO for acting like "cowards" Friday. The president said "they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don't want to help open the Strait of Hormuz."
The joint statement said, "We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait," and, "We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning."
The statement is attributed to the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Denmark, Latvia, Slovenia, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Czechia, Romania, Bahrain, Lithuania, Australia and the United Arab Emirates.
"We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces," the statement also said.
"We express our deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817," the statement continued, referencing a resolution passed last week that spoke out against Iran's recent actions.

Saturday Afternoon Update:Things are getting a little sporty, kids.
- Natanz nuclear site attacked: Iran says "no nuclear radiation" detected, even as attacks on core sites like Isfahan nuclear facilities signal clear escalation despite earlier Trump signals of maybe "winding down."
- Iran has responded by targeting Israel's Dimona nuclear facility. The Israeli army confirmed "a direct impact of an Iranian missile"
Trump: For the third time, we've won, we're winding down.
Israel: Hold my beer.
Iran: Hold my tea.
I think it's safe to say that Israel has slipped the client state leash and is acting in a very dangerous manner with regards to American interests.
