Reports out of the US intelligence community suggest that President Trump’s cabinet push to declare Iran in violation of the P5+1 nuclear deal has expanded into pressure against intelligence analysts themselves to try to invent some sort of justification for the claim Trump desperately wants to make.
At the same time, officials say that the beating the intelligence community took for its role in lying the US into war in 2003 is informing its decision on the matter,and that many are very resistant to letting their assessments become politicized.
Former CIA analyst Ned Price was very frank about the matter, saying “they told me there was a sense of revulsion. There was a sense of deja vu. There was a sense of ‘we’ve seen this movie before’.” Other officials suggested Trump made his conclusion first and is now trying to get the intelligence community to find evidence to back it up.
Which is absolutely true. President Trump has made clear he intends to declare Iran in “violation” next time around, and he was very public in being unhappy that he had to admit Iran was complying with the deal recently, because his whole cabinet confirmed that Iran is doing so.
Iran is still complying, but at this point President Trump doesn’t appear to think it matters, and is instead ratcheting up pressure across the government for someone to manufacture anything to justify a claim to the contrary. While we’ve indeed “all seen this movie before,” it’s clear not everyone has learned their lesson.
Lets create another North Korea problem with Iran. Lets tear the agreement, remove our monitors, and see if they have the know how or the resources to finances it.
Something on back ofmy head says, if they have all these educated people, and vast resourves of oil and gas to sell to any country, they will make bombs, and not in 10 years, but in 5 or less, and far more powerful than North Koreans.
Trump is creating a nightmare for the world, and one that may not resolve for decades, or ever.
The IAEA monitors in Iran are not “ours”.
They are international monitors…do you think anyone in the world would trust US monitors considering the entire Iraq scam, and war that followed…Uncle Sam has no credibility with any country except the outlaw pariah being Israel…
And Saudi Arabia of course, and probably a few hardcore dictatorships I forget about.
If Iran decided to go into the nuke business, who could blame them? They see what happens to countries without nukes, and what doesn’t happen to those who have them. With the constant threat of war from Israel and the US, I doubt anyone would say that them building or buying nukes is anything but prudent. (And, I might add, if the pressure from Israel for us to condemn Iran wasn’t there, we’d be seeing an entirely different sort of relationship between Washington and Tehran- one that’s a whole lot better.)
So today at Anti-war.com we have this, the re-arming of our cops with military grade weaponry, upgrading our nukes at a cost of one trillion and The Donald telling us we’ll be very protective of the Baltics. Wow, it must be more “Trump Derangement Syndrome” causing all these nasty truths being published.
The whitehouse, senate, and congress are ALL ZIONIST Traitors. They are beholden to the agenda of AIPAC, ZOA, and the usual Zionist suspects destroying the US from the inside out. Trump is just disgusting with his fragile ego, and lapdog behavior towards the Zionist entity.
Iran should not only get nukes, it must have a military pact in place with China, and Russia…which have both stated will never allow an attack on Iran. When is Trump being impeached??
With this cowardly Republican Congress? Unlikely.
