Really fascinating New York Times report.
Now, I know, grain of salt.
Grain of salt when we're talking about New York Times reporting.
This one is worth reading or you can just listen to my very quick summary of what happened.
But this is how we got into Iran.
How did Trump get into Iran?
That's the report.
It's a very lengthy report by Jonathan Swan, Maggie Haberman.
It opens up right at the top subheader in a series of situation where meetings, president Trump weighed his instincts against the deep concerns of his vice president and a pessimistic intelligence assessment.
Here is the story of how he made that fateful decision.
Uh,
So right off the bat, we see the leading voice against the strikes in Iran from the administration, according to the New York Times, Vice President J.D.
Vance.
Now, you will recall, before, during, and after the Iran strikes, I said...
If I had been in the National Security Council, had I been in the room, I would have made the strongest arguments I could against the strikes.
I trust Trump on foreign policy, so I'm not going to freak out.
I'm not going to be a neurotic.
I'm not going to be a hysteric.
I'm not going to say we're on the brink of nuclear genocide.
