Whatever President Donald Trump’s pretensions of a supposed ending of the assault upon Iran, they simply mean nothing, according to Joe Kent, Trump’s former National Counterterrorism Center Director. Kent had the honor of actually resigning his position over Trump’s illegal ‘war of choice’ on Iran.
After Trump’s speech last night, Kent posted: “The purpose of POTUS’s speech this evening was to show that we can declare victory when we choose. This is only possible if POTUS restrains the Israelis 1st. Israel needs us committed indefinitely, we are seeking a quick end to the war. We have drastically different goals than Israel & must act accordingly.” He added: “We do not honor our fallen by getting more of our best men & women killed in the Middle East. We honor our fallen by learning from our past & only shedding American blood in defense of our nation. The best time to get out of a war of choice is now, before we lose more lives.”
