And there you have it. Joe is the most respected man in the entire Trump government. That fact that this dedicated patriot (war hero) openly admitted Iran was NOT an imminent threat is proof that the US is once again operating for the benefit of the political and economic elites. We are a captured nation, from within. Thank you @joekent16jan19 for your absolute integrity and courage. Godspeed @ShawnRyan762 @joerogan @jockowillink @EvanHafer @AndyStumpf77 @TulsiGabbard
Joe Kent@joekent16jan19

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.

Joe Kent is my friend and brother, and my loyalty to my friends is to the death. I don't know enough about what's going on to talk about it, and I think more people should take that approach. That's all I gotta say about it.

If we are going to counter terror, we must destroy those who have been sponsoring it for decades. @realDonaldTrump is setting the conditions so our children and grandchildren will not have to deal with Iran. I wish @joekent16jan19 the very best but fundamentally disagree with his decision.

That’s a great routine, but how much do you rest between reps and sets? 50 years ago I did intense circuits with little to no rest between sets but now that I’m 66, I’m still doing intense circuits but I’ve got to pause for 30 - 90 seconds to get my heart rate down to the mid 120s.

The Joint Staff 🇺🇸@thejointstaff·
A message from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine: It is with profound sadness that we mourn the loss of six American heroes from the 103rd Sustainment Command U.S. Army Reserves out of Des Moines, Iowa: Major Jeffrey R. O’Brien, Captain Cody A. Khork, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor, Sergeant First Class Noah L. Tietjens, and Sergeant Declan J. Coady.   These quiet professionals represented the very best of our Nation and we are filled with deep gratitude for their selfless service, valor, and sacrifice. They stood the watch to carry our Nation's burden, and we are forever in their debt.   To their families, we grieve with you and pledge our unwavering support. We will never forget what they, and you, have given for our country.

@catturd2 I have a feeling there are deeper reasons we are doing what we doing in Iran. Xi ordered nationwide camera removal after Trump used Iran’s to take out top their leadership. Trump is leading with technology and strength! Trump’s message to Xi in addition to checking Iran. FAFO.
