The deep state is once again seething over President Trump.
The knives are out.
And a top General went on Sean Hannity and ripped Trump to shreds in this stunning revolt.
Establishment Attacks Trump Over Middle East Peace Deal
President Trump pledged to Americans that he would keep the country out of another forever war in the Middle East.
Trump followed through by agreeing to a deal to end the Iran War that also achieved Trump’s main objective of preventing them from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
This deal enraged the D.C. establishment that spent decades agitating for a regime change war in Iran.
Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch was one of the elites who lobbied Trump for a regime change war in Iran.
Retired General Jack Keane is one of the many pro-regime-change war voices that filled Fox News’s programming.
In an appearance on Sean Hannity’s show, Keane attacked President Trump’s peace deal.
“I think what the president should do is just, let’s release it and let people see what’s out there so we stop debating about something none of us are seeing,” Keane told Hannity.
Hannity argued the administration would just restart the war if Iran fails to follow through on its end of the bargain, telling Keane that if they “don’t abide, they get nothing out of the deal, and then I would imagine we go back to where we were last week.”
Keane didn’t think that was likely.
“I want to believe that, but if you have a reliable high-level administration source saying, ‘We’re not going to get rid of the dust. We’re gonna downblend it,’” Keane replied.
Keane then accused Trump of cutting an Obama-style deal and rewarding Iran by paying them hundreds of millions of dollars.
“And they’re not going to take centrifuges out, and they’re not going to take the cascades out, which means you can have weapons-grade. And there’s going to be a moratorium in terms of, you can’t have a nuclear deal for 10, or 20 years, similar to the [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action],” Keane added.
“And the funding is real. There’s $300 billion investment fund. Who cares where the money comes from? If it doesn’t come from the United States, I get that. Of course it shouldn’t. But it shouldn’t come from anybody,” Keane continued.
Calls for Boots on the Ground
Keane then complained that Trump didn’t order a ground invasion to destroy the Iranian regime, which would have required deploying hundreds of thousands of troops in an open-ended commitment.
“I mean, when we recovered Germany and Japan, the Nazis weren’t in charge, the Japanese imperialists weren’t in charge. Here, the Iranians are in charge. The killers and thugs are still in charge. We don’t give them that money because what are they going to do with it? They’re going to recover everything we have taken away from them. Who cares whether it’s coming from the Arabs or Qataris or whatever? They don’t get it. They shouldn’t get any of it. That’s just the reality of it. They’re going to take that money and recover everything. And you know that, Sean. You know that you can’t trust these people,” Keane concluded.
Trump isn’t giving Iran any money up front.
Iran only receives sanctions relief if it dismantles its nuclear program.
If Iran fails to follow through on the terms, the maximum-pressure sanctions remain in place.
But what really angered Keane and other neoconservatives is the fact that Trump refused to buckle to their demands to deploy boots on the ground and fight an Iraq-style war in Iran.
