The Russians also see signs that the CIA director is lying.

The world already seems to have its hands full with Russia/Ukraine, China/Taiwan, NorKo/SoKo, etc. Still, there may be little choice but to take Iran out of the picture sooner than later. Israel has been conducting practice runs for years, and more recently has conducted large scale joint operations with the U.S. Might be time to prosecute yet another war. Time has already shown that things will NOT improve otherwise.

The Mullahs will soon be in command of nuclear weapons. The Democratic Party has nuclear weapons. After seeing the performance of the Democrats & their deranged decision making for the past couple of years not to mention their 4 year long coup against Trump, what could possibly go wrong? I fear the big one is coming courtesy of whoever is in charge of the Democrats. Duck & cover.
