National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent says Trump “started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby”.
The Trump administration’s top official on counterterrorism has resigned from his position, citing opposition to the war in Iran, and urged the president to “reverse course”.
In a letter posted on Tuesday to his X account, National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent said that Iran posed “no imminent threat” to the US and claimed that the Trump administration “started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby”.
Kent, 45, is a US special forces and CIA veteran whose wife, navy cryptologic technician Shannon Kent, was killed in a suicide bombing in Syria in 2019.



A rightrous politician? No, it can’t be. What’s the catch?
The catch: He is a white supremacist with ties to Nick Fuentes and his motivations may rather be rooted in hatred for Israel and him disapproving of Trump fighting a war at Netanyahu’s behest.
That’s horrible!
Ok, now I’m getting mixed signals.
Do you have proof of that because I’ve found info that disputes a relationship between them?

The two of them may not like each other all that much, but all of these articles affirm their connections and their past interactions with each other. And whether they Fuentes and Kent are amicable towards each other or not, they run with the same crowd of white supremacists and neo-nazis.
You’re the one who said they had ties. What I posted showed that those ‘ties’ are weak at best and are mostly composed of animosity.
One of the articles you posted contains this bit:
So whether you believe Fuentes or rather Kent’s denial, Fuentes was at one time convinced that they are working together. That’s “ties” to me. YMMV
I posted 3 articles, so side with the majority take that favours Kent.
If you wanna search for more be my guest.
He’s not a politician. He’s a career spook.
You can read the whole resignation letter here. You’ll find the catch in there!
