Kent, your tweet isn’t analysis; it’s the death rattle of a mind that has traded the austere discipline of the battlefield for the cheap perfume of isolationist delusion. You, who once wore the Green Beret and carried the weight of real wars, now peddle this venomous fiction that POTUS’s speech was some grand theater of “declaring victory when we choose,” contingent on first shackling our only reliable forward operating base in the Levant. Spare me the psychobabble of convenience. This isn’t prudence; it’s pathology...a textbook case of strategic Stockholm syndrome, where the operative internalizes the enemy’s timeline and calls it wisdom. You claim Israel “needs us committed indefinitely” while America supposedly craves a “quick end.” How exquisitely inverted. Geopolitically, the Jewish state is not some needy client begging for our largesse; it is the unsinkable aircraft carrier anchoring the eastern Mediterranean against the Shia crescent...Iran’s proxies in Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, all calibrated by Tehran to bleed us by a thousand cuts. Restrain Israel? That is not restraint; it is the Clausewitzian inversion of victory itself. War, as the Prussian reminded us, is the continuation of politics by other means...but only when the political object is absolute: the destruction of the enemy’s will and capacity to fight. Israel’s goal is not indefinite occupation for its own sake; it is existential eradication of an ideology that embeds itself in tunnels, hospitals, and kindergartens, using its own civilians as human shields while chanting death to the West. Our goals are not “drastically different.” They are symbiotically aligned in any realist calculus worthy of the name: deny Iran its land bridge to the sea, secure the Strait of Hormuz for global energy flows, and signal to Beijing and Moscow that proxy wars have costs. Your psychology is even more grotesque than your geopolitics. This is the classic projection of the war-weary operator who, having glimpsed the abyss, now mistakes exhaustion for enlightenment. You declare we “can declare victory when we choose,” as if wars end by press conference rather than by the broken will of the foe. Sun Tzu would laugh you out of the room; Machiavelli would call it the coward’s velvet glove over the mailed fist of appeasement. Philosophy 101, Kent: Hobbes warned us of the state of nature...nasty, brutish, short...precisely because men like you, cloaked in tactical restraint, invite the leviathan of chaos. By urging POTUS to “restrain the Israelis first,” you are not seeking a quick end to the war; you are ensuring its metastasis. Every restrained IDF operation is another recruitment poster for jihadists, another billion-dollar windfall for Tehran’s centrifuge program, another invitation for Russia and China to carve up the post-American Middle East. You got everything wrong because your soul has atrophied into the very thing you once hunted: the useful idiot who mistakes retreat for resolve. Israel does not need us indefinitely...it needs us to honor the iron law of alliances forged in blood, not the fleeting calculus of domestic polling. We declare victory not by restraining the only democracy in the region that shares our enemies, but by letting it finish the mission we both know must be finished: the total dismantling of the terrorist infrastructure that threatens us both. Anything less is not statesmanship. It is suicide by sophistication. You are not a patriot, Kent. You are a vector. And history will remember you not as the man who saw clearly, but as the one who blinked...then demanded the rest of us gouge out our own eyes in solidarity. Enough. 💀🗡️⚖️🪖

Pam Bondi led this Department with strength and conviction and I’m grateful for her leadership and friendship. Thank you to President Trump for the trust and the opportunity to serve as Acting Attorney General. We will continue backing the blue, enforcing the law, and doing everything in our power to keep America safe.

President Trump tells Erika Kirk to sue everyone who is defaming her or making fun of her on the internet. Trump says they are all just jealous of Erika. "You have to be nicer. Sue their ass off."
