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.
The more he dismiss America’s intelligence agencies, the more i believe them.
Yep exactly. If he says something I assume the opposite is true. I’m not saying this for comedy value, I genuinely do
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.

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…
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
A few, maybe. One just means you have to use it or lose it, I think. One is very different from several.

Essentially, you take a bunch of radioactive material, and above a certain threshold purity and threshold amount, it just starts a chain reaction that makes it explode.
No. That is not what enriching means. I’m sorry, you need to do a lot more research on nuclear physics; you are flatly incorrect.
it is well possible that they were preparing all the pieces
You’re literally describing building a bomb with different words. And both the IAEA and the American IC are currently of the opinion that Iran hasn’t been doing that since they suspended their nuclear weapons program in 2003. Is there something you know that they don’t?
Tulsi Gabbard is a well known Iranian asset. She’s been on their payroll for years. Of course she said that they weren’t building a nuclear weapon, that’s what they paid her to say. The entire Trump regime is corrupt.
Lol, she’s a literal Hindu nationalist. That’s about as far from an Iranian asset as possible
I love people putting “well known” before completely baseless accusations
Reddit-ass geopolitical experts.
Well known by whom, exactly?
I’ve heard the accusation that she’s a Russian asset, but Iranian? First time I’ve ever heard that one.
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.
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
The point is to be additional arms of the government that he can manipulate and abuse to his own ends.
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.
We have irrefutable proof, that we can’t show you, that Iran is stoning babies in the incubators with yellow cake.
What is that?
I think he’s possibly talking at the UN or some security council as they plaque in front of him says “United States”, at a guess that wouldn’t be necessary in front of Congress. I might be wrong though, I’m not from the US.
“Better not drop that cake”
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.
other problems make for a great distraction from the original problem. i suspect that’s the reason behind a lot of trump’s actions
The truth doesn’t really matter. Israel will get their war, and the US will lumber into it behind them.
What’s crazy to me is apparently the US has become so polarized, so used to division that pointing out Israel is acting like bloodthirsty psychos is somehow supporting Iran, or Hamas before that. It’s like their whole culture has evaporated any nuance at all. Only diametrically opposed good and evil battling forever. Professional wrestling stories with Heels and Faces divided by clear black lines.
God vs Satan doesn’t leave room for nuance.
It is the only thing conservatives/fascists have left.
And shitlibs.
Liberals aren’t even in charge of anything at the moment but you really out here trying to get this “shitlib” thing you made up to stick.
Yikes
tHiNg yOu mAdE uP
Quick, dust off the “weapons of mass destruction” propaganda.
Came here to say the exact same thing.
It doesn’t matter if it is true or not (not just this topic) but if you repeat the lie enough and gaslight the public it becomes true, and if it doesn’t so what, what are you going to do about it.
NOTHING that is what they are counting on.
Keep up the protests, the No Kings protest was huge even if MSM is downplaying it.
That’s fine. Iraq didn’t have WMDs either. They just need a lie to sell it to the public.
What’s the context for this photo?
Colin Powell lies to congress about “facts” and “evidence” of WMDs in Iraq that led to a 20 year war
The UN. This picture was when he lied to the UN about WMDs in Iraq.
My bad, he lied so much it’s hard to keep it straight
Did Netanyahu get his hands on the pee tapes?
I’m sure mossad has kompromat on everone in the administration.
They have all of Epstein’s recordings.
Seriously, would there be anything that’s not known already that would change anything? I think that a video tape of Trump anally violating a Teletubby would just get a yawn and 5D chess comment from his base.
What Israel is doing is in the interest of the current US administration (and many other western leaders). Why would you need kompromat.
They can probably use Epstein’s tapes.
