Trump dismisses Gabbard's testimony on Iran nukes: "I don't care what she said"

[JGalt]

WOW..,.. That's a serious ass swabbing.

Makes me wonder what's in it for him?

Maybe a cabinet position.

‘Trump on Tuesday said Iran was "very close" to having a nuclear weapon, despite March testimony from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that Tehran was not building one.’

Yet another reason why Trump is unfit to be president – he ignores facts and the truth, ignores intelligence and national security officials, and makes decisions based on disinformation and lies.

Well, it’s not like your side cares what she says either. Democrats refer to her as “a Russian asset”.

 

[dudmuck]

Yup.

Now, were they lying then or lying now?

In any event, throwing Tulsi under the bus is totally weak....If that was me, I'd have my resignation on his desk tomorrow.

Trump wants to remove her, and her entire office.
For her comments about warmongers.

No room for anything intelligent in the Trump admin.

The questions are there due to promises made. 45 years with Iran. 45 years of this. We are shooting down 50-dollar drones with 2-million-dollar missiles. So now we are in convince mode again to get our military involved again.

Trump is probably relying on Israeli intelligence. The best in the world

The ones who helped Bush lie us into Iraq?

Yeah, they're the bestest!

No. Israel knows exactly what Iran is up to.

Honestly.... why post that?

Are you proclaiming Tulsi Gabbard the unassailable arbiter of truth?

Pligger knees.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Pligger knees.

Sorry, no idea

 

[Oddball]

She's only going to report on what the agencies that she's in charge of tell her.

So our own intel sources are lying and the people who helped get us mired in Iraq are unassailable?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Forget I said anything.

Oh, and GFY.

Same to you fk boy.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Twice and don't forget it. Millions of Chinese, IndoChinese, Malaysians, Singaporeans, Thais and Japanese were saved as a result.

Smfh, tell that to the folks who were obliterated by them and the thousands of men, women and children that suffered from them.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Go **** yourself with your globalist bullshit. Of course we're the only country who's ever used a nuclear weapon. We used one to stop a world war, which was completely justifiable. We didn't use those nuclear weapons to wipe out an entire country, only to stop them from killing us all. We used it to stop the Imperial Japanese, who would have loved nothing more than to use your grand daddy and grandma for bayonet practice.

I don't know if anyone has ever explained this to you, but the reason we have nuclear weapons is as a defensive deterrent against fascism, not as an offensive weapon, like the Iranians would use against Israel and the US.

Make any excuse you want to for it, there is no way in hell you would have dropped that on Germany and look at all the folks Hitler murdered.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Get ready to see a huge spike in gas prices.

I just did. Japan was already in a steep starvation spiral. Far more would have died from a continuing blockade. Millions would have died have we tried to invade (a reminder, we were going to drop nukes as part of the actual invasion). The IJA still occupied large portions of China and IndoChina, with tens of millions under a brutal occupation only matched by the conditions on the Eastern Front.

Just watched that interchange yesterday.

What you witnessed was Trump NOT TRUSTING the reporter who said it. That's it in the nutshell.

And nukes are not the ONLY reason why Israel is torching Iran.

Hamas
Hezbollah
Houthis
ISIS/ISIL
weapons given to Russia
Lebanon Terrorists
Syrian Terrorists
Egyptian Terrorists
Turkey's Muslim Terrorists
Azerbaijan Terrorists

I can go on for a LONG time here....

Iran sponsors terrorism and destabilizes EVERY nation they touch. Their leadership is completely out of touch with reality as evidenced by their public statements before and after Israel began their attacks.

The number of reasons to not destroy their command and control is single digits....the number of reasons to attack is in the four digit range.

It's natural consequences for their actions.
What else did they think was going to happen? Especially since their actions were not that covert. It's not like nobody knew what they were doing. They were warned thoroughly and completely about the consequences.

Not much else to do except follow through. I, for one, will be glad when their crops of saffron begin flowing again. They have the best saffron of anyone. They also have better wool products than other countries. Everything from rugs to clothing. You want a lightweight wool cloth for a suit, dress or pants? They have the best. Hands down they have great wool. Woolen pants do not wear out either. Soft as a kiss but they last forever.
Rug craftsmen are some of the finest too. You want a great wool rug to throw on top of your hardwood floors? They got it better than everyone else. Makes Afghanistan rugs look like crap in comparison.

Just saying....I love Iranian exports. Quality stuff for reasonable prices. I've hated the embargoes but I also understand that terrorism and "Death to America" has real consequences too. So....I'm just patiently waiting for it all to be over.

Glad to see you are now a Tulsi Gabbard fan.

 

[Paleman]

Right, because only white nations should have them.

As long as you played the race card AGAIN, name just one black nation that should have nuclear weapons. Find one that is intellectually advanced enough to build one, support same, or use it without blowing themselves to hell.

Come with a better excuse than that.
