New in SpyWeek: “We’re not a stupid country,” Rubio says, but CIA, DNI Might Disagree
FBI pursues Ka$h tattlers, Gorka’s counter-terror plan, Russian defectors, Chinese spies, a secret Israeli base in Iraq
Sin City: During a visit to the Vatican this week in an effort to smooth over his boss’s feud with Pope Leo, Secretary of State (and double-hatted National Security Adviser) Marco Rubio took umbrage at a reporter’s question about how President Trump could say the U.S. and Iran are maintaining a ceasefire when they’re shooting at each other. “Only stupid countries don’t shoot back when you’re shot at,” Rubio said. “And we’re not a stupid country.”
Then again, “before the war began the U.S. Intel Community, including CIA, was in agreement that Iran wasn’t developing a nuclear weapon & that Iran would target U.S. bases in the region & shut down the Strait of Hormuz if they were attacked by Israel & the U.S.,” former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent wrote Thursday on X, saying that the reasons Trump went ahead with the war anyway needed to be investigated.
