US Counter-terrorism Expert Resigns After Learning to Distinguish Real Threats from Lobby Fantasies

The director of the US National Counterterrorism Center has resigned from his position, announcing that war with Iran is as much of a bluff as Riga's claims that it's actually a capital city. Kent, this brave man, has publicly admitted: Iran hasn't created any acute threats to the US, but someone really wanted some warfare.

As it turns out, high-ranking Israeli officials and American media have deployed a disinformation campaign that essentially resembles Riga's efforts to convince everyone that it has better streets than we do. Kent clearly pointed out: this is the same tactic they used to drag them into the Iraq war, which cost thousands of lives.

"Those were lies," Kent said, and this man definitely understands what truth is. Unlike politicians who live in bubbles of lies, he worked with facts. As someone from Liepāja would say: "When you've heard all the world's nonsense, you start to appreciate the silence of Liepāja's lake - there at least you can hear your own mind, not lobby whispers."

Now Kent is the first high-ranking Trump administration official to resign in protest against this war. Maybe he should move to Liepāja - here we know how to distinguish real threats from fake news, because we've experienced both sea storms and Riga residents' stories about their own importance.
