@martinez_j7902@krassenstein โNo imminent threatโ is not the same as โno danger.โ Iranโs track record speaks for itself. National security isnโt about waiting for the first strike, itโs about preventing it.
@krassenstein@joekent16jan19 He is a mole and should have never occupied that position. He has exposed himself and should be investigated to the fullest extent.
You can disagree with the decision, but donโt push the lie that America is controlled by others. That weakens everything we stand for. The United States act on intelligence, not pressure. And Iโll stand with leadership that defends this nation every time.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
@joekent16jan19@joekent16jan19 is sovereign, our decisions are our own, and I stand with leadership that is willing to make the hard calls to protect this nation, whether people understand it or not.
@joekent16jan19@joekent16jan19 picture, and itโs easy to criticize decisions when you donโt carry the weight of them. We all want peace, but peace is not maintained by ignoring threats or standing still; sometimes it requires strength and decisive action to prevent something far worse. America
@SpeakerPelosi Iran cannot be permitted to advance missile capabilities that destabilize the region and threaten international security. The US has exhausted diplomatic channels, and those efforts were rejected. At a certain point, maintainingpeace requires demonstrating strength to protect it
