We can strengthen our chances of this deal holding by cutting all military/intel assistance to Israel, they took every opportunity to tank this deal & will likely do so again unless we take action.
We should also quietly get our troops out of the bases in the Gulf that can be reached by Iran. This ensures Iranian hardliners can’t strike us to drag us back into the fight.
Take away every factor that we can control that could force us back into the war on Israel or Iran’s terms.
Set all conditions that we can control in our favor.

Kent voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004 before shifting his political beliefs towards libertarianism, supporting Ron Paul. According to voting records, he was registered with the Libertarian Party in the 2012 presidential election until 2019

There’s a reason you were fired, Joe. Trump is solving problems in a complicated part of the world and he doesn’t need your help. That’s why he fired you. Your opinion is as irrelevant as it is wrong. Being a good soldier doesn’t make you a good General. Joe needs to leave the thinking to the people who have the intelligence that he lacks.
He’s a patriot and hardly a nobody
He resigned
He was pushed out.
“One month before Shannon’s death, Donald Trump had announced that he was pulling all troops out of Syria immediately. The move prompted the resignations of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Special Envoy Brett McGurk, both of whom saw it as a blunder that would lead to the resurgence of ISIS. “Had President Trump actually been able to get our troops out like he ordered, my wife and the others that were killed there that day with her would still be alive,” Kent has said.”
I was not aware that Israel had tanked any deal with iran
People forget history, we fought two world wars, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq all had nothing to do with fighting for Israel.
The idea that we are always fighting for Israel doesn’t stand up to historical facts.
Trump is literally telling Israel to stop action in Lebanon
It’s part of the “deal”, isnt it?
Maybe Joe understands reality on the ground in ways that only an 11 times deployed ex-CIA special operator can.
I don’t like Joe Kent. Simple as.
Shut up, Joe.
Maroon.
We all want the deal to hold. That’s all
It’s incredibly important
We’re rapidly reaching the point where people like Joe Kent, RandFan, Tucker Carlson, and half the Democratic Party hate Israel more than the Arab countries in the region. What are RandFan, Ron and Rand Paul, Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson, etc. going to do when there’s peace in the Middle East? Will they still be carrying a torch for “The Palestinians” even if/when the Palestinians put down their arms and decide to live in peace and prosperity with their Israeli and Arab neighbors instead of living in a constant state of hatred and perpetual war?
"Sounds like a anti Israel coward."
Trump wants peace and an end to this. He’s told the Israeli leader in colorful language too
Trump wants peace and an end to this. He’s told the Israeli leader in colorful language too
"Who is joe kent?"
I got a ‘suggestion’ for you and Joe... Go to Hell.
The US president said the Israeli leader had ‘no f***ing judgment’ after an attack on Lebanon stalled an agreement to end the war
...
This is what the media reported earlier
Pray for peace 🙏
