Anyone having concerns about another war in the middle east is seditious is one of the most retarded and backwards fucking bullshit i've ever heard in my life.
Kent goes: Get everyone out, and cut their economics off.
Let the chips fall!
So Trump leaves JCPOA in 2018 and Iran actually
ramps up enrichment. Araghchi even admits to as much.
(440–460 kg of 60% enriched uranium)
Ok well that's not good enough is it. No deal is made. So that strategy literally doesn't work 100 percent. Maybe 90 percent.
Well this is the problem isn't it.
Trump can't just "let the middle east eat itself" his investment in the board of peace and the negotiated settlement with the Israelis and Arab states relies on Iran not being able to fuck with them. The energy issue after the war is over doesn't fit.
So right there is the upper limit of his thinking because he thinks hes still fighting GWOT and the objective is just to leave.
But the part that annoys me is this guy got 90 percent of everything he wanted.
He said he wants sanctions.
OK, well its February we'll sanction them anyway!
He's fine with hitting the Badr brigades and PMF in Iraq, and guess what that's exactly what we do!
Guys says lets leave Iraq and Syria.
Ok so we only have Erbil Air Base. Harir Air Base, and the Consulate in Iraq which is in Erbil, all of which are the Kurdistan region. Victory is mostly Iraqi controlled now.
And in Syria we basically have no bases anymore. So we said we'd leave within 2 months in January, and we are.
There might be some "advisors" sprinkled in there but how would I know about that shit, right? Because the plan was literally to get all of our guys out of these areas in 2 months, and that was announced in January.
So what is this guy's big problem that he has to resign in frustration? Actually hitting Iranian targets,
thats it.
He disagrees with the decapitation strike. Its fine to blow up Hezbollah, and the Iranian backed Iraqi forces, but not Iran directly.
His entire thing before the strikes is that it will just embolden Iranians to rally around the Ayatollah.
So I personally think of this like a subordinate in the chain of command, getting 90 percent of what they want and then throwing the overall campaign under the bus because that last 10 percent doesn't work for him, brother. So its good that he resigned in that sense. Because to circle back to the beginning, the economic sanction concept wasn't going to deter Iran from its objectives, and leaving the Middle East to eat itself doesn't help Trump's overall foreign policy.
TL;DR Guy got almost everything he wanted, but not exactly what he wanted, can't see the bigger picture and doesn't have faith in a guy he had faith in five minutes ago, so he writes a counter-signaling resignation letter.
