Description

Joe Kent is the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who resigned in March 2026 due to the war against Iran. Kent discusses the mistake of attacking Iran, the intrusive influence of Israel over U.S. foreign policy, ignoring that Iran is a rational actor, the pro-war bias in Washington, the U.S. contribution to creating ISIS, the curse of the forever wars, and the hubris following the military intervention in Venezuela.

I want to understand his statement.. “I am not a fan of iran i understand they are a terrorist regime” why is iran a terrorist regime. Who have they attacked in the last 50 years? Why isnt us and israel and uk and a lot of European countries terrorist regimes 🤔🤔

It's incomprehensible to me how Mr. Joe Kent considers Iran a "terrorist threat" more than the US, itself is. Talk about a double standard and a biased one-sided mindset!! By the same token, I do not belittle Mr. Kent's heroic stance against his former boss, Trump.

I still dont get how he could "sit through" a literal and ongoing genocide in Gaza and be a part of the machine that supplied the weapons for the murderers of innocent men, women and CHILDREN.

So Mossad has been feeding American intel whatever they want to dish up, huh. It's clear that more than Iran, the US needs liberation.

Great that he is talking about the Israeli lobby/ fifth column but he still has blood on his hands.
