#302 Joe Lonsdale - If China Takes Taiwan, AI Sets Back 10 Years
What was said
"They thought some of the stuff, some of the evidence, like including from Jalabi, who was an Iranian spy, like purposely came from Iran even at that time. A lot of the top voices out of like our ally Israel were saying Iran's the big problem, not Iraq."
Joe Lonsdale revealed that British intelligence mentors told him Iran may have deliberately fed faulty intelligence to push America into the Iraq War. He claims Ahmad Chalabi, now known to be an Iranian spy, provided evidence that redirected U.S. focus from Iran to Iraq, contradicting the narrative that Israel drove the Iraq invasion.
