The fact that Trump MAYBE using the intelligence community to make decisions, but, the correct question is WHOM’S intelligence community. If he is actually using intelligence information the question is intelligence by whom and how was it obtained?
The USA shares intelligence with allies and vice versa. Every bit of the intelligence from this administration regarding Iran sounds as though it is information Mossad has supplied unfiltered by USA intelligence agencies. I am not saying Mossad has control of Trump’s actions, but, Trump favors it over other sources.
The plan Trump has is not an American plan. Our intelligence community would never list civilian/religious sites. The USA intelligence isn’t interested in committing human rights violations. The Secretary of Defense needs to be careful, pardoning power may not save him from the World Court.
The intelligence from other countries may not have even been supplied willingly. I think the high level of security clearance by Trump’s Star Chamber could obtain information from lower level officers. That method has already occurred with Kushner and I believe it was the Emirates. No it was Qatar.
There is a very real reason why others were not consulted by Trump before THE DECISION was made. The intelligence was probably obtained illegally.
The obvious hatred of Iran’s culture is wholly owned by Trump, not the USA.
