Valerie PlameCompte certifié

1/ An “imminent threat.” Fabricated intelligence that will lead to the loss of American lives. A cynical attempt to become a “wartime president” to ensure re-election. We’ve seen all of this before.

2/ Because we’re on the verge of another catastrophic war in the Middle East, I’m trying a restart on Twitter – a platform I left because of its toxicity – to add a personal view on the abuse of power by a dangerous president. Hopefully, Twitter can still be a force for good.

3/ I had a front-row seat to the disinformation campaign that led us into the Iraq War - the consequences of which are still with us. I’m alarmed that we’re on the brink of repeating our past mistakes, especially with Iran abandoning the nuclear deal today.

4/ From the Iranian perspective, Trump’s order to assassinate General Soleimani is their Pearl Harbor and they have vowed retaliation. Further, Iran is not isolated; they recently conducted joint naval exercises with China and Russia. This could become a global conflict.
