Tulsi Gabbard left no doubt when she testified to Congress about Iran’s nuclear program earlier this year.
The country was not building a nuclear weapon, the national intelligence director told lawmakers, and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program even though it had enriched uranium to higher levels.
But Donald Trump dismissed the assessment of U.S. spy agencies during an overnight flight back to Washington as he cut short his trip to the Group of Seven summit to focus on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
“I don’t care what she said,” Trump told reporters. In his view, Iran was “very close” to having a nuclear bomb.
So what? Just because she pushed back she’s now trustworthy? For fucks sake, screw your head on straight.
Also why are you even intent on defending Iran, an openly genocidal far right government made up of religious extremists? There’s no good guys in this fight.
You don’t have to trust her.
But if she says the sun will come up tomorrow, it doesn’t mean we need to plan to live the rest of our days in fucking darkness man…
Like. You understand that right? Someone can be a habitual liar, but that doesn’t mean the opposite of everything they say is true.
I understand that, but it seems habitual liars are not lying only when it fits the narrative.
There’s plenty of evidence that points to Iran building a nuke. They are not the good guys, so excuse me for being unconcerned about their literal dictatorship getting blown to hell.
By all means share it with the class…
Because Israel’s government isn’t. And neither is any other government.
So I’m sure lots of people would absolutely love to see your proof
Otherwise, it’s more likely Israel is lying because they’ve been saying Iran is a few years away from having nukes for literal decades. It means as much as Elmo saying Tesla will have auto omous driving in a few years
Someone else did it, see above.
Christ’s sake…
This is the fediverse, you can’t assume everyone sees the same comments when everyone’s on different instances. And that’s not even getting into how people block other accounts.
This is like pulling fucking teeth. So speaking of block lists…
To be fair I didn’t know that. I thought within a given thread everyone could see everything.
Please stop getting your politics from marvel movies
Iran is authoritarian and brutal but this is the first I’m hearing of genocidal.
Got any examples I can look up?
They sent paramilitaries to Syria to engage in sectarian genocide.
They certainly call for genocide pretty often.
Got any examples?
