When Iran does truly break out, push for nukes, and fully commits to the North Korea model.. will any of the current pro-war voices admit they maybe.. just maybe.. got this one wrong?

Well, not exactly but I give @KonstantinKisin a lot of credit for this. I’ve seen very few guys who supported the “12 day war” explicitly on the ground that it was just a one off with no US deaths, no regional disasters or big price tag, express skepticism about this. It’s stunning how few, actually. I’m not lookin to collect “I told you so’s”. I think it’s very important that people hear this, especially on that platform

.@CIADirector: "Iran possesses at least 440kg of uranium enriched to weapons-grade 60% — which doesn't have a civilian use. The only use for that would be the development of nuclear weapons."
Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47

"Was Iran developing a nuclear weapon prior to our military action last June and did Iran remain committed to developing a nuclear weapon in the lead-up to this conflict?" @CIADirector: Yes "If left unchecked, do you think Iran would have the ability to develop missiles capable of reaching the United States?" @CIADirector: "Yes."

STEPHEN A. SMITH: “Joe Kent… You’re basically saying that Israel instigated this war.” “A statement like that… could easily be used as an excuse for individuals out there to engage in anti-Semitism.” Moments later… “75% [of you] said the war is being influenced by Israel.”

I am a Nuclear Engineer. I will be more than happy to challenge @joekent16jan19 about Iran's nuclear capabilities. I know he won't accept, nor will @TuckerCarlson. So anyone who thinks this same position! (Aka, yes Iran was absolutely aiming for a nuclear weapon)
Ounka@OunkaOnX

Tucker: "Was Iran about to get a nuke?" Kent: "No. They've had a religious ruling against it since 2004. We had no intelligence that it was being disobeyed." So the entire war-the thousands dead, the billions spent, the American soldiers buried-was based on nothing. No nukes. No threat. Just a lie sold to justify a war that was always for Israel

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

I recorded this segment about 8 minutes after Joe Kent resigned in which I predicted the admin would try to indict him Recall that the last time they smeared someone as a leaker it was @dandcaldwell who has been completely cleared of wrong doing
End Tribalism in Politics@EndTribalism

“They are gonna try and destroy this man.” Saagar Enjeti says Republicans will come after Joe Kent for resigning and saying Israel got the U.S. into war with Iran for nothing. “This is the National Director of Counterterrorism, highest security clearance in the entire United States government.” “I guarantee you they will try to indict him.” “They’re gonna say he breached his security clearance by sharing information, that he was never a real patriot, that he’s a snake, that he’s an anti-Semite.” “The full stop of the pro-war machine and the US government are going to try and destroy this man.” “Just watch and wait.” “This should be wall-to-wall news.” “We never even really had high-profile resignations like this under Iraq.” “And I mean, I think the fact that you have a high-level security official with the top security clearance saying this is Israel’s war, that they manipulated the intelligence… you have to ask seriously about all of the lies that have been told by this White House.” “And I think second, what did he know to have to resign at this point?” “He knew no end in sight.” “And that’s why he decided to do it now.” @esaagar @joekent16jan19

If there was an imminent threat from Iran, Tulsi’s answer would have been: yes. It’s as simple as that. She wouldn’t have tied herself into pretzels with the ridiculous claim that only a President can determine that. She literally puts out an annual threat assessment. The plain fact is that she lied. She’s lying us into a war that her career was supposedly dedicated to avoiding . I was wrong last summer, she’s substantially worse than Colin Powell. She’s a traitor to this nation.
