Joe Kent: Israel, Syria & Saudi Lose Ground & U.S. Must Exit the Region (Glen Diesen)

Joe Kent is the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who resigned in March 2026 due to the war against Iran. Kent the Saudi-Yemen conflict, instability in Syria, Israel being overextended, and why the US must eventually leave the region.



Joe Kent is still talking about making deals in Yemen and Syria to isolate Iran, but there's a difference in that the forces in Syria were/are Western (terrorist) proxy forces. The only deal that the US needs to make with Yemen and Iran is to remove US forces from the region, and also have the Israelis stop attacking their neighbours. Once that is achieved then oil supplies should be able to resume. 

While Joe does talk about US cooperating with Syria to take on ISIS in the past, which was done in a half arsed way, he's leaving out the fact that ISIS is a proxy force for Nation States and Western Intelligence. He might not fully appreciate what happened or he is an intelligence agency plant putting out a misleading narrative. However, getting the US to leave the Middle East is the correct course of action and his comments about Oct 7 and 911, that there was at least prior knowledge, does provide some hope he's operating in the right direction.
