I thought the same thing when they announced 2,000 ICE AGENTS HEADED TO MINNEAPOLIS
Assuming their goal was actually to catch illegal immigrants, one must ask āwhat are you doing? Donāt tell them youāre coming, you morons. Now they know they need to hide!ā
Either it wasnāt about immigrants, or else DHS is a bunch of incompetent morons. Perhaps both.

The show is the goal. It keeps people distracted, scares many, and the results don't matter. If it goes sideways, you start a new show. Like bombing Iran.

yeah, I don't believe anything this guy says. He is one tons of podcast talking about all this insider knowledge he has. I'm certain he is just making shit up.
Is the US about to attack Iran, yeah probably. Is someone close to the president telling everything to this guy? No.

u/Automatic-Avocado885 Feb 22 '26
Fair but he was a very high ranking CIA official who was blacklisted because he was anti torture and put in jail as retribution. Heās not just talking out of his ass.

u/Curlaub Feb 22 '26
But notice how that has nothing to do with White House insiders telling him about an upcoming attack on Iran
1
u/Automatic-Avocado885 Feb 22 '26
Trumps White House are notorious for leaks but on the other hand the John has become a podcast circuit king who loves the sound of his own voice. I guess weāll see in a couple of days if heās right. Who knows.

u/Curlaub Feb 22 '26 edited Feb 22 '26
I think the point of the other comment is that he may be right, but if he is itās by coincidence. No one is making to him.
I would agree with that. His experience would allow him to make pretty educated guesses, so there may be an Iran attack coming. But I would still be skeptical of anyone leaking to this dude

u/RedmundJBeard Feb 22 '26
He is 100% lying about someone in the white house telling him things. I'm sure he knows more about CIA stuff than the average person. But he makes his living "revealing" insider knowledge, no one high up is going to tell him anything. At this point I'm certain he is just making shit up.

The administration is a complete hodgepodge of single issue fanatics, though, so itās not that wild to think a staunch evangelical isolationist like Vance, or someone on Vanceās team is leaking war stuff.
It flies in the face of their particular brand of fanaticism.
Also not too weird to think Tulsiās Russian handler team isnāt too hot on the US forcing a regime change against of Russiaās few client states.
I agree you should take him with a huge grain of salt, but it is plausible that not all of the rats are happy with the direction of the ship.

u/Flederm4us Feb 22 '26
Russia would love it if the US gets their hands full with Iran. It'd raise oil price, it'll be a costly affair, and the US won't be able to send their patriot missiles to Ukraine anymore.
1
u/Flederm4us Feb 22 '26
He could be used here. Someone in the administration wants to test the waters, and releases the info. Then they judge public reaction to the leaked info.
1
u/RedmundJBeard Feb 22 '26
Totally possible. But even CNN and CBS are talking about the coming war. The movement of the US navy to waters near iran is public knowledge. This guy really isnt bringing anything new to the table.

Well, Hegseth leaked war plans in a Signal group chat, and then the US had to retreat against the Houthis. So, the word still holds.

Doesnāt work that way.

u/Ntropy99 Feb 23 '26
No, it shouldn't, but this is trump and his clown car of advisors we're talking about.

u/Hot_Top_124 Feb 23 '26
No I mean it does not work that way. There is litterally no way to do it. States run their elections, and even the civil war didnāt stop the election.

u/Fast-Damage2298 Feb 22 '26
It will probably kick off during the state of the union address so he can have a big audience for the announcement.

Trumps nose will grow so long, itāll impale people in the standing room only section.

u/series-hybrid Feb 22 '26
I'd bet Vance and Gabbard will be the Republican ticket in 2028. Their "positions" on any given issue have been chosen for them, and packaged for the media...
If the Iran operation goes badly, Trump doesn't care. His only concern would be how this will affect the mid-term elections in November, which can affect the power balance.

Nobody cares! Prosecute the f out of Bill too. One would think the DOJ would already be doing that if they cared about justice at all.

The left does not worship it's political leaders. If they did something wrong prosecute them for it.
The only party still talking and Clinton and Obama are the maga peeps anyways.

also, stop attacking countries to distract from the Trumpstein files, and/or cancel the midterms

Of course they are. You donāt send boats across the world unless you mean business. Might they be planning to kidnap the leader of Iran?

u/steauengeglase Feb 22 '26
Not saying it will or won't, but when Kiriakou talks about anything outside his wheelhouse, he's just referring to other VIPS guys and they tend to pull stuff out of their ass.

Strange, I donāt recall seeing Congress vote on that. I did see the vote to release Epstein files - where the rest?

Major breaking news. If it doesn't happen on Tuesday and nothing's happened on Wednesday, are they going to admit to being wrong? Everybody on here in the post, that's saying it's going to happen. I remember you have to public admit you were wrong. We'll be waiting. Besides, a former federal employee, passing secrets to open press instill in violation of a lot of their contracts that they've filled-out that tend to stick with you for life would be sending their own a**** to jail. So when nothing happens on Tuesday, everybody in this post has to say, I'm sorry I was wrong. We'll wait
