Though, I suppose considering the rumors together with the timing, this might well be a pre-emptive, self-defense gambit by those two pin-ups providing what they believe to be mutual support while enfilading the perfect foe to provide a useful distraction / smokescreen…

Maybe he had to get some ducks lined up?

He’s also been under investigation for leaking to the media (Carlson? Owens? Kelly? Who knows?). That no doubt was part of his motive although I’m not sure how it affects the timing.

I recall that only a couple of days ago, Carlson accused the CIA of spying on him to build a case that he is communicating with a foreign government (Iran?). I wonder if this information was imparted to him through Kent. Did this have something to do with the timing of Kent’s resignation? Kent has just appeared on Tucker’s show.

WTF? Tucker has gone full fash maroon. What’s next “brown shorts” as in P G Wodehouse? Roderick Spode is Tucker’s man.

And I thought Nazi chic was just for candidates for the Maine senator’s election.

Kent’s filling in ALL the boxes. Hitting ALL the right buttons. Almost TOO PERFECT, as it were.

Here’s a question…(which may have already been asked):

Why did he wait almost two weeks before making his move?

yes there was a broad consensus about intervening in Iraq, arguing over the timing, whether one needed to start the campaign, so soon after the Afghan campaign

not a few sensible like General McCrystal (although subsequent behavior has caused me to revisit his attitude,) had doubts about this counrse of action

OTOH, might this be what he’s being fed…though by whom exactly? Someone’s pressing buttons in pretty sophomore-ish fashion…(which might characterise/implicate whom…? Hey, how about a Holocaust cartoon competition!)

I think it’s basically that Kent adheres to the philosophy that the Jews are an evil cabal that controls everything, especially everything bad. Therefore, they want wars. Israel wanted the war in Iraq (even though they didn’t). The war in Iraq led to the growth of ISIS. His wife was murdered by ISIS terrorists in a suicide bombing in Syria. Therefore, Israel killed his wife. And now Israel caused us to go to war with Iran.

I may write a post about Lindbergh and Germany during the 1930s.

And of course, Carlson’s getting all emotional and righteously indignant…

Here’s that quote about his first wife’s death:

…Kent announced his resignation Tuesday, citing his opposition to the ongoing U.S. war with Iran, and his belief that Iran posed “no imminent threat” to America – while asserting in his resignation letter that his wife died in “a war manufactured by Israel” in a 2019 suicide bombing in Manjbi, Syria….
