Hate Being Censored

I just got off the phone with someone who works in defense policy in Washington. What they told me should end every "Trump is reckless" argument permanently. "Every single president since Clinton received the same intelligence briefing on Iran's nuclear timeline. Every single one was told the window was closing. Every single one chose to kick it down the road because the political cost of acting was higher than the political cost of waiting." Trump got the same briefing. 60kg of 90% enriched uranium. 4 weeks to breakout. Material for 2 bombs. He chose to act knowing it would tank his approval to 35%. He chose to act knowing his own base would split. He chose to act knowing NATO allies would refuse to help. He chose to act knowing gas prices would spike. A senior analyst I know at a major think tank put it this way: "The difference between Trump and every president before him isn't intelligence. They all had the same data. The difference is courage." Read that again. Every president had the same file on their desk. Only one opened it and did something. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

JUST IN: Trump will hold news conference with the U.S. Military at 1 pm tomorrow — 3 hours after his “48 hour warning” to Iran expires.

🇺🇸 What happened? 🤔 The American private satellite imaging company Planet Labs has imposed a 96-hour delay on new satellite images covering the Gulf states, Iraq, and Kuwait during the current conflict. The company says the measure is meant to prevent near-real-time analysis of damage to US and allied military facilities. Planet Labs described the restriction as a temporary step to protect personnel and operations during wartime. Satellite images released earlier by the company show the aftermath of the Iranian strike on the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. The delay does not apply to imagery of sites inside Iran.
