One overlooked Trump move that takes on new salience is his ouster this year of Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
One overlooked Trump move that takes on new salience is his ouster this year of Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In a rare Jan 2024 interview, Brown signaled that he sought to prevent war with Iran. Asked whether the US is "not being tough enough on Iran", Gen. Brown responded:
"Do you want us in a full-scale war? ...We don’t want to go down a path of greater escalation that drives to a much broader conflict within the region."
He also said later in the interview that Iran doesn't want war with the US. Did this factor in Trump's decision to fire him?
