Is Joe Kent this week’s voice of reason?

Is he the guy speaking truth in the fog of war?

He spoke to Tucker Carlson, and the podcast is worth a listen. 

He’s a MAGA guy. He was a Trump guy. But this week he turned his back in his President. 

He quit his job as America’s top counter-terrorism official.

He was a soldier. He served in Iraq. His wife was killed in a suicide bombing in Syria.

He’s no snowflake. He just doesn’t want the US getting bogged down in wars it can’t win. 

It’s one thing to bomb the hell out of a country. But when the dust settles, the troops go home, the victory banners are unfurled, then what?

In Iraq, a power vacuum and ISIS.

So, in calling this out, in quitting, is Joe Kent a hero or a traitor? 

The FBI’s now investigating him, but that’s not unusual. Look at Jerome Powell (Fed Chair) John Bolton… right down to Jimmy Kimmel… who was investigated by the US TV regulator after criticising Trump.

Only time will tell whether there was a pressing need for starting this war we’re all paying for.

But history tells us it won’t end just because a US President says so.
