Following Trump’s attacks on Iran, an admin official tells Rolling Stone, “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”
After Donald Trump’s decision to strike three Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday, administration officials are barely bothering to pretend the unprecedented — and potentially calamitous — attacks were motivated by new intelligence suggesting Iran was on the brink of having nuclear weapons.
Just months ago, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified to Congress, in her opening statement, that the U.S. intel community “continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon” and had not reauthorized its nuclear weapons program.
While Trump recently publicly disputed Gabbard’s testimony, according to two administration officials with knowledge of internal deliberations in recent weeks, the president’s decision to strike was not driven by any new U.S. intelligence on Iran.
Iran’s theocratic regime aside (which the US is largely responsible for creating), why exactly are the US (and a handful of other countries) somehow more worthy of having nukes than others?
It’s some bullshit if you ask me.
The question of “do we really want X country having nukes?” seems to come off as: “it’s okay for country Y (the US) to have nukes”.
I for one, am not a fan of anyone having nukes, but if we’re not planning on getting that number to zero, not sure how it’s justified to say a certain country doesn’t deserve them, other than maybe North Korea who are completely unhinged, but how can we draw the line? The USA is literally just committing acts of war because they’ve unilaterally decided that Iran has nukes, without evidence, and that means they’re justified in doing pre-emptive strikes.
I don’t think any country is ever justified in pre-emptively striking another without extremely strong evidence.
I’m thoroughly unconvinced that any war the US has fought other than World War II has been justified.
There’s certainly no intelligence to be found anywhere in the Trump administration.
Israel asked him to do it
Seemed pretty obvious that Bibi wanted Trump to win and intentionally stalled Gaza ceasefire agreements to make Biden/Harris look bad.
This may have been Trump returning his end of the bargain (or Trump is just a shortsighted and stupid piece of shit).
Bibi’s got kompromat on him, Epstein may have been Mossad
lol Republicans don’t give a shit about anything he’s done or could do. They like Trump and there’s nothing in this world that could change that.
The girl looked just like Ivanka. It would damage his relationship with his favorite child in an unfixable way.
The child he already repeatedly publicly made extremely creepy comments about?
As evidenced by the other golden boy of the Party dropping that exact bomb, and nobody cared
Obviously. But that’s why Trump’s doing what he’s doing. That’s all.
More accurately, his girlfriend is, he’d probably be consider an asset. An important distinction on whether you protect them when they’re in trouble.
Epstein claimed at least once to be Mossad, and Maxwell’s dad apparently was.
Maxwell’s Dad was an interesting guy if you read up on him. The dude had a lot of enemies via his business dealings and him being a literal spy for MI6/Mossad. Some believe Mossad even assassinated him, but I don’t really believe it.
The fact that the shit had just hit the fan regarding Maxwell’s looting of his employees’ pension plans probably had more to do with his suicide.
Epstein may have sold (or volunteered) intel both to Mossad and to US three-letter agencies. I don’t know if that made him a Mossad agent.
I thought Ghislane was the Mossad contact, wasn’t her father actually in Mossad leadership? Epstein was the ‘party’ boy, gag, and Maxwell was operations?
Seemed pretty obvious that Bibi wanted Trump to win and intentionally stalled Gaza ceasefire agreements to make Biden/Harris look bad.
And biden/harris fell for it. they looked weak and complicit because they’re democrats and that’s their brand.
It can be both. And yes bibi did not stop the ceasfire, I believe trump requested not be stopped to let him win
Probably to pull the spotlight off them killing a bunch of people in their beds while they were sleeping

“asked”. I’m beginning to think it is a lot more direct than that.
Told
He’s trying to get ahead of a mob and call it a parade.
See how his last one went to figure out how this will go.
They weren’t based on vibes, they were based on orders. Trump’s foreign handlers told him what to do and he did it.
But women are “too emotional” to be president. Fucking hell, just choke on hamberder already.
It’s interesting to note that Biden didn’t bomb Iran.
Or Obama.
So many missed opportunities for O-bomb-a jokes
I’m still waiting to see Big Beautiful Bunker Busting Bomb
He only bombed Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan. With Iran he only flew over illegally to bomb the other places.
Or Bush.
Bush was busy doing Iraq and Afghanistan
Yet McCain and Graham were on TV begging to strike Iran.
It’s almost like the former presidents didn’t think it was a good idea.
Did netanyahu tell him to?
What a year, first we got vibe coding and now vibe bombing… I wonder what’s next
Don’t forget about the vibe-based deportations
We’ve had vibe-based rape for ages. “She says no, but she clearly wants it”
Hopefully vibe-heart attack.
I’m not religious, but please GOD MAKE THIS HAPPEN
They were based on Trump being pissed that his little birthday parade was humiliating.
“maybe my military parade sucked because I haven’t actually started a war yet”
“There is no intel” describes the entire regime
It describes the past 30 years of the USA’s Middle East policy. At least it’s consistent?
Why not use the full word? “There is no intelligence” is much more apt.
The Intel probably came in the form of a new deposit clearing in Trump’s bank account
Who uses bank accounts anymore? They probably bought a bunch of $TRUMP. Doesn’t every US President have their own private currency?
Antiquities scholars of some future alien race thumbing through hard drives like Roman coins
Can someone please impeach him… based on vibes?
But he was elected based on vibes 🥲
vibe coding and now vibe warmongering
I guess we’re slowly entering the stellaris timeline. It’s terrifying
Ten bucks says Grok told him to do it.
You thought vibe coding was bad? Welcome to the age of vibe bombing…
Siri, bomb a middle eastern country.
this wouldn’t work
it’s ‘hey siri’
Vibe-running the world is the new hotness
Well, Trump has been an LLM all along, because attention is all he needs.
A Russian and Israeli LLM
Vibe Warfare. Where Skynet doesn’t have control of the military, but everyone does what it says anyway.
