The best thing America’s adversaries can do right now is nothing. They’ll never be able to do as much harm to the US military as what Hegseth is doing.

Maybe it’s a mistake to make a Christian nationalist and white supremacist the head of the US Military?

One thing I’ve learned in life is that when you plaster your country’s flag all over the place as a form of “patriotism” you are the opposite of a patriot.

Hegseth is trying to bring the intellectual capabilities of the military down to his level.

Given all the warnings Israel received in advance of October 7, it’s hard not to assess that Netanyahu allowed it to happen to further his political agenda.

Hegseth is a complete embarrassment. Maybe he should consider his proficiency to hold his current position before he starts evaluating the proficiency of others.

“You should be grateful. Other men would treat you a lot worse.” “You think this is bad? You have no idea how good you have it.” “I could have done a lot worse, but I didn't.” The language of abusers.

Trump has no idea how AI works or the implications of its continued advancements. His experience of AI is memes. That’s it.

With Trump, China will be able to dictate terms. Despite his fake tough guy persona, Trump melts in the presence of actual power. He’s putty in their hands.

This signalling could mean that America’s pivot towards Russia is complete. They’ve changed sides.

Is this a religious extremist? Or is this just an American white Christian man with a cosplay fetish?

Why are the Iranians suddenly attacking international shipping? It makes no sense. How did this all start?

What’s amazing is that no one in his party is willing to tell him he’s wrong and try to explain it to him.

There’s a reason he bankrupted his casinos.

A Secretary of War who is unwilling to describe any of his offensive military operations around the world as wars.

Seems like there’s someone in particular he wants to hire who has done some weird shit.

Maybe they should have asked him more about how the war with Iran has become the most significant strategic failure in US history.

for two months, I've been flying drones over Flock cameras to situation them in space and geography; I even got my commercial drone license in order to do it. I'd like to share this project with you all: it's called Records Of Enemy Surveillance: recordsofenemysurveillance.com

There is nothing Trump can say about any topic - even the most sacrosanct - that will lose him the support of his base and his corporate donors. They are all in.

It’s staggering the US President, or any foreign leader, should feel the need to comment on this election in Germany. But it confirms what we already know: Trump is a white supremacist and a fascist.

What do people think Trump and Hegseth want to do to the US military? Make it stronger? More capable? No. It’s just one more aspect of American power Trump wants to corrupt and undermine.

This is the best thing about being Donald Trump. Completely unaccountable. Never any consequences. Not accountable to the American people. Not even accountable to his own moral code.

We’re going to see the most comprehensive assault on elections in history in the upcoming midterms. Trump, the GOP, the Supreme Court and Elon Musk will not allow themselves to lose (at any cost).

Extraordinarily dangerous. He needs psychological help, not a senior government position.

Once Trump eventually relieves us of his presence, the US will need to go through a period of intense reflection and then planned deprogramming. If not, the world will look very different in 10 years.

Trump corrupts and destroys everything he touches. The culture of the FBI will be irreparably damaged.

This is the problem. Trump and Hegseth have now corrupted the US military. The US military is no longer a credible source of information and everything they say needs to be independently verified.

If you truly wanted to destroy America, you would leave the Trump family alone. They’ll do the job more thoroughly than any hostile power could hope to.

I can’t imagine a scenario where the US under Trump acts to stop Russian aggression against their NATO allies. Nor can I imagine a scenario where Trump condemns the attacks and commits US military forces to defend European countries. Putin can act with impunity and he knows it.

Look at the chyron. Fox News is incessantly trying to generate rage amongst the dumbest demographic of Americans for the dumbest reasons. These are non things.

Children have tiny hands. They can do important work in the factories. They can also squeeze into small gaps, so excellent for mining.

Putin will be providing Trump with intelligence of what the leaders of US allied countries say about him in private. Easiest way possible to get Trump to destroy alliances that actually benefit the US.

I would have loved to have been in the room when Hegseth was told this base had been destroyed. You would have been able to smell the panic.

Donald Trump couldn’t point to Oman on a map. He has no idea of its history or significance. He is simply too stupid and too ignorant to care.
