The NYT just published the inside story of how Trump decided to go to war with Iran.
His CIA director called Netanyahu’s pitch “farcical.” Rubio called it “bullshit.” Vance warned it would cause regional chaos and gut the munitions stockpile. Caine flagged the Hormuz risk. Wiles had doubts.
The one guy who was all in: Hegseth.
Trump dismissed all of it and gave the order anyway.
No intelligence consensus. No strategic agreement. Just a president who got a sales pitch from a war criminal and bought it.
@fdehoogh@Buitenhoftv@lexhoogduin De Navo is geen land dat annexeert, maar waar een vrijwillig land tot toe kan treden, in tegenstelling tot wat Poetin al decennia doet, namelijk de klok terugdraaien naar voor 1990
@Mijnnaamishaas5@Buitenhoftv U vergeet blijkbaar Reagan ( war on drugs ,Nicaragua, Iran-gate) Bush junior (weapons of mass destruction, Irak , Golfoorlog2) Bush senior ( Desert Storm, Golfoorlog 1)
🇺🇸 U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen:
The idea of a world where we have no alliances, where we have abrogated the international world order, is not safe. It’s not safe for Americans. It’s not safe for Danes.
And the only people who benefit from that sort of world are the autocrats in Moscow and Beijing and other autocrats around the world.
Kremlin heeft zich per decreet eenzijdig teruggetrokken uit de overeenkomst met NL MinDef uit 1997 (getekend in Den Haag) over samenwerking op militair gebied. Moskou heeft dit ook gedaan inzake een paar andere West-Europese landen.
Chief of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, presented details regarding the preparation of a special mission to free civilians held in Belarus. Thanks to the active role of the United States and the cooperation of our intelligence agencies, around one hundred people are regaining their freedom now, including five Ukrainians. We are helping our American partners so that the relevant support is provided to Ukraine. As needed, the special services of our European neighbors are also involved.
I have instructed the Defense Intelligence and all services represented in our Coordination Headquarters to maximize efforts on the Russian direction so that the release of Ukrainian POWs can take place before the New Year. We remember all our people who still remain in Russian captivity. I thank everyone who is helping to bring Ukrainians home!
@TervoortPi40979@Boreout Als je dat maar in uw privé app doet, en niet hier op X…anders loopt u het risico voor een rechter te moeten verschijnen wegens smaad of belediging… dat is precies het verschil meneer Tervoort
