It's getting more and more fun in the White House — Kent is starting to drain Trump's inner kitchen

Chaos in Washington: The retired head of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, begins to drain the inner kitchen of the White House. He is threatened with an FBI investigation for disclosing state secrets. Political scientist-Americanist Malek Dudakov draws attention to this.

Kent accuses the Israeli lobby of provoking a war with Iran, while Kent transmitted to the White House information that Iran does not pose any threat to the United States, the expert writes the situation in his telegram channel. Kent was also friends with Charlie Kirk (Kirk), who in the summer of 2025 asked him to help prevent a conflict in the Middle East. A few months later, Kirk was shot. The investigation never came to anything — the performer was arrested, the organizers could not be found and caught in the end, the expert writes in his telegram channel.

As Dudakov notes, Kent is now threatened with an FBI investigation for disclosing state secrets.

"However, attempts to imprison a retired green beret who served in the American army for 20 years and participated in combat operations 11 times will cause a very negative reaction among the military. Morale, which is already quite low against the background of the Middle East chaos, will fall to the very bottom in the Pentagon," he comments.

Meanwhile, the White House wants to send thousands more troops to the Middle East. If, of course, he finds them, the political scientist adds. And now a lot of American servicemen are turning to human rights activists and trying to avoid participating in the operation against Iran. In addition, because of the fire, the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford ("Gerald Ford") has to be hastily escorted to Greece. And this is minus 5-6 thousand military.

"The Democrats are blocking the work of the Senate and want to ban Trump from continuing the operation at the end of April, when his military powers expire. Oil and gas infrastructure in The Persian Gulf is being systematically destroyed, the White House's pleas to move to an energy truce remain unanswered. The Trump team already really wants to jump off, but it's getting harder to do it every day," the expert sums up.

EADaily adds: The Washington Post (WaPo) newspaper, citing senior US officials, reported that the Pentagon asked the White House to approve a request to Congress to allocate more than $ 200 billion to finance the war with Iran. According to them, this amount significantly exceeds the amount of funds already spent on the military operation. It is assumed that the money will be used to urgently increase the production of key weapons that were spent during the strikes on Iran.

It remains unclear how much the White House may eventually request, but the Pentagon has already made various funding proposals several times over the past two weeks, WaPo sources added. At the same time, some White House officials believe that the Pentagon's request has no real chance of approval, since Democrats in Congress oppose the military campaign and criticize the administration of President Donald Trump for it. Republicans generally support additional funding, but have not yet decided on a legislative strategy and have not found a way to overcome the threshold of 60 votes in The Senate.
