A lesson here for Americans on politicizing intel.

Dems spent 4 years lying about #RussiaGate. They said Trump was their intel asset, the Hunter scandal was #Russia disinfo, and turned an international villain into a folk hero for too many on the right.
washingtonpost.com/world/europe/p…

In the zero-sum politics of lies promoted by corporate media, defending Trump from hourly absurdities soon soon turned to an embrace of the various boogieman.

For example, Republicans adopted "Deplorable" after Hillary's rant.

There used to be agreement on the obvious: Russia and the US have very different interests and work at cross-purposes. And Dems were always weaker on this.

Despite the stupid Dem/Media rhetoric, Trump was far tougher on #Russia than Obama and Biden is a wet napkin by comparison.

Putin is not an idiot and sees the opportunity to ingratiate himself with a large number of Americans on the right because they rightfully feel persecuted in their own country, by their own progressive countrymen.

Dems constant politicizing & lying about intelligence led to this

The CapHill protests is the perfect opportunity for him. After all, Biden's official policy is that white Americans are the greatest threat to America. When half the country declares war on you, you'll notice others who speak in support of you.

Clearly, Russia is not alone as a country that has been politicized by progressive politics, where there used to be bipartisan consensus.

#Iran was the latest folk hero for progressives. Today #Hamas has joined them.

#Israel used to enjoy bipartisan support in the US but progressives have also poisoned that well.

#Turkey under Erdogan is one of the few countries that managed to equally annoy Dems and Republicans. Unlike Putin, that thug hasn't figured out yet how to latch on to a culture war issue and rehabilitate his image with half the country.

In reality, Putin, Erdogan, and Khamenei are not friends of the US. Israel is a friend. That this is not obvious to a large segment of the country is bonkers.

As long as Dems continue to politicize & lie about intel and corporate media joins in to magnify the con, the US will continue its self-imposed decline. x/x

Of course #Israel didn't tell the US in advance about its attack on the Natanz nuclear facility in #Iran.

Here's a quick lesson for those who haven't paid attention. 1/x

@NYTimes

6/1/12: @NYTimes exposed #Israel's involvement in deploying the Stuxnet virus in the Natanz facility. The story directly quoted one of Obama’s daily briefers who was in the room with the president and told him: 2/x

“We think there was a modification done by the Israelis...Obama, according to officials in the room, asked a series of questions... The answers came back in hedged terms. Biden fumed, ‘It’s got to be the Israelis,’ he said. ‘They went too far." nytimes.com/2012/06/01/wor… 3/x

Even before clicking on the NYTimes take, I’m curious how they’ll spin #Israel as the devil.

So the NYTimes version of the implications of the Israeli operation on #Iran’s nuclear facility is what you’d imagine: A bad take punctuated with worse analysis. Here’s a few examples... nytimes.com/2021/04/11/wor…

Uncertainty? This is an #Israeli gift of even more leverage the US can use with #Iran in negotiations. Iranian threats are now less powerful. We don’t need to rush into a bad deal as we currently are. Team #Biden however is allergic to leverage. There’s a reason for that:

@DavidTafuri

I saw @DavidTafuri’s sober analysis of the negotiations w #Iran on @FoxNews. Where Netanyahu is right about a deal threatening #Israel is that at this point any deal that allows the regime to enrich uranium is too great a danger. 1/x

We’ve already seen how glacially slow the IAEA is to react to new evidence and how incomplete their picture is about known nuclear sites. We know there are multiple ways the regime has cheated, years before Trump left the deal. Of course Iran will cheat again. 2/x

We’ve already seen Europe decide that almost none of that matters. What they care about is inking trade deals w the regime. #Israel can’t count on them to act when they should. 3/x

How Dangerous is the Situation Between the U.S. and #Iran?

I joined @vali_nasr and @MicheleDDunne for a debate over Trump's decision to kill #IRGC-QF Cmdr Qasem #Soleimani, the fallout, and what will likely come next. Full episode video at the link:

@vali_nasr

@vali_nasr @MicheleDDunne The idea that the US lacked justification for taking out #Soleimani is bonkers. It's not even a matter of how imminent an attack is; it's all the American blood already on his hands. I explain 👇
#Iran #Iraq

@vali_nasr

@vali_nasr @MicheleDDunne As I explain, "we're at a point right now where most mainstream media in the US and the talking points among leading Democrats - including presidential candidates - are more pro-Iranian regime than the Iranian people are." #Iran #Iraq #Soleimani 👇

@amprog

Watch Brian Katulis of the Center for @amprog meltdown when I point out that he is parroting the #echochamber's talking points & tweets on @realDonaldTrump's decapitation strike on #Iran's #Soleimani.

@amprog

@amprog @realDonaldTrump According to Mr. Katulis, Trump's maximum pressure on #Iran only gave us maximum resistance. Our allies don't trust us and Trump has no plan because he receives different opinions for advice. Incidentally, hearing the same advice repeatedly is part of what an #echochamber does.

@amprog

@amprog @realDonaldTrump If we back up to the beginning, you hear the same #echochamber talking points that Team Obama used. It shouldn't be surprising. He works at @amprog, which is headed by @neeratanden. They dislike what Trump would call, #winning 👇 americanprogress.org/press/statemen…
