Charlie Kirk and the aggression against Iran

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] An interesting detail.
What follows is a full-blown case of the Hypotheticals.
Joe Kent, head of the US Counterterrorism Center, who resigned the day before yesterday in protest against the war with Iran, stated that Charlie Kirk, the activist killed in 2025, strongly opposed an attack on Iran.

According to Kent, shortly before the summer war of 2025, he met Charlie Kirk at the White House, where Kirk was a frequent visitor, and Kirk told him to influence Trump to prevent a war with Iran.
Possibly true, possibly not. But did Charlie know Nick Fuentes was already then Mr. Kent’s BFF? Charlie had very strong opinions about the perfidious Mr. Fuentes and his deluded followers.
Kent also clearly hinted that US authorities are obstructing the investigation into Charlie Kirk's murder.

Charlie Kirk's intense conflict with the Israeli lobby in the United States was reported as early as the fall of 2025, when fragments of Kirk's correspondence surfaced, indicating that Kirk's criticism of Netanyahu and Israel's actions (despite Kirk's previous support for Israel) led to him being cut off from funding by various donors linked to the Israeli lobby. As long as he spoke his mind, he was given money. When he began criticizing Israel and Netanyahu, his funding was cut off. Then, "suddenly," he was shot.
Reported and debunked, though the Jew-hating true believers keep bringing it up.
Carlson said that Kirk's criticism of Netanyahu was linked to the Turning Point leader's belief that the United States was being used to wage wars on behalf of Israel. The former Fox News host added that "there was a small, very active group that tormented Charlie Kirk until the day he died."
The followers of Nick Fuentes, yes. Were there others?
The news that Kirk had begun criticizing Israel came as a shock, as the 31-year-old preacher was considered one of Israel's leading supporters in the conservative evangelical movement.

About Kirk's correspondence.
In short, the former top US counterterrorism official clearly hinted that another "conspiracy theory" was likely true and that Kirk had crossed the Israeli lobby.
Nonsense. They adore both Charlie Kirk and President Trump in Israel. The entire country mourned when Charlie was murdered.
If Kirk were alive today, he would likely be among the likes of Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and other Trumpists who have condemned the aggression against Iran in the interests of Israel.
That’s certainly one opinion. What did Charlie think about Israel’s response to 10/7 — both at first and then later?
Given Kirk's reach, this could have become an additional problem for both Trump and Israel, who are trying their best to legitimize the war within the US.
As it is, MAGA voters approve the war at about 90% in recent polls, especially if it does not drag on forever for us.
