Tulsi Gabbard says Iran could produce nuclear weapons "within weeks", months after she testified before Congress that the country was not building them. The US Director of National Intelligence said her March testimony - in which she said Iran had a stock of materials but was not building these weapons - had been taken out of context by "dishonest media".
The alleged Iraqi WMD were never found but the CIA did present Aluminium tubes intel to congress at that time.
To be clear, I am not saying Iran could have avoided being attacked or that they should appeal to the USA, far from it. What they need to do is disarm nuclear research and tech in return for the ability to hide behind other NATO members and the EU, as opposed to taking offers from Russia and China which assuredly will not end well.
Nah, how about the US just stop finding excuses to throw away trillions of dollars getting people killed overseas for no reason.
Yeah, we can work towards that by helping the DNC in the midterms.
In the meantime, we need to identify immediate steps to deescalate.
