A senior US intelligence official appointed by President Donald Trump abruptly announced he is stepping down from his post on Tuesday, citing misgivings about the administration’s war with Iran.
“After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today,” Joe Kent wrote in a post on X.
“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” Kent added in the resignation letter he attached to the post.
He’s resigning because he looked around and realized the people in charge of stopping terrorism are 20 year olds and aging podcaster hopped up on testorone injections to the point they’re psychologically 20 again…
And we just pissed off Iran.
Attacks are coming, they’ve never been more likely.
And he doesn’t want to be anywhere near the bag when someone has to hold it.
