The best hint that Iran has no nukes is that the US is attacking them. If they had nukes they would keep away.

Trump has always shown us he doesn't need intelligence.
What is that?
That's Secretary of State Colin Powell testifying to Congress about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, during the Bush Jr. administration, I think.
It's not Congress. It's the UN. And he was doing a really stupid publicity stunt about how that vial could hold anthrax to kill them all. And then went on about WMDs in Iraq.
That's Secretary of State Colin Powell ~~testifying~~ lying to Congress about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, during the Bush Jr. administration, I think.
I had to.
The Bush administration getting away with all their criminal shit paved the way for Trump.
Tbf I doubt it was new in politics
In fairness to Colin Powell, my understand was he didn't know it was a lie/ trumped up evidence at the time, and was pretty bitter about it in later years.
I think he's possibly talking at the UN or some security council as they plaque in front of him says "United States", at a guess that wouldn't be necessary in front of Congress. I might be wrong though, I'm not from the US.
"Better not drop that cake"
Okay so we believe Tulsi Gabbard now?
Yes she works for Russia and they're friends with Iran.
So we can't really trust either.
Not only is trump ignoring this, but lots and lots of shitlibs on this site are also.
yeeeah... shrug, Trump ignores them all. And why shouldn't he? They didn't prevent him from happening, what's the point of the CIA, NSA etc when they either knew about him & putin, and let hit happen, or, they didn't know, even though it's been obvious since the 80s?
Nice job Intel community, you shot us all in the face.
So we oppose US intelligence agencies overthrowing democratically elected leaders in other countries but not their own?
The point is to be additional arms of the government that he can manipulate and abuse to his own ends.

The more he dismiss America's intelligence agencies, the more i believe them.
Yep exactly. If he says something I assume the opposite is true. I'm not saying this for comedy value, I genuinely do
