Summary
Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News presenter with minimal managerial experience, as defense secretary has stunned the Pentagon.
Hegseth has been a vocal critic of the military, calling for a purge of generals and questioning the appointment of Gen. Charles Brown as chair of the joint chiefs of staff.
Hegseth’s nomination is seen as a boost for the far right in Israel, as he has shown support for territorial expansion and suggested the construction of a new temple on the Temple Mount.
If they’re stunned by this then they’re gonna be catatonic for the next 4 years. I wonder what effect that’ll have on national security…
So let me get this straight. Trump appointed some guy with minimal military and managerial experience as the defense secretary? Is that the same as Secretary of Defense? I am not surprised, I am just trying to fathom the stupidity of this current decision.
The US would do better under a military coup.
DNC helping Trump/GOP achieve Israel first rule over America is a failure of democracy.
Military rulership can implement UBI, which is also impossible under power corruption democracy. Same for global warming.
Military rulership can end the unrealistic/collapsing delusion of warmongering supremacy in a world that the US is losing, but politics maintains an illusion of “we just need to be bigger assholes” to successfully change.
Biden could help if he wasn’t DNC/Trump/Israel loyal first. He can’t be relied upon to save America by encouraging military rule.
Not funding a genocide perpetrated by a rogue nuclear state that routinely spies on US citizens and influences our politics is kinda antisemitic don’t you think?

Careful… someone with my religion used to own your house. Would be anti-semitic of you to suggest I can’t take it.
Anyone surprised by something Trump does is either an idiot or been living under a rock.
Militaries that promote for political loyalty tend to perform really poorly when fielded.
SecDef may not be a military-proper position, but if this goes regime goes on long enough, that’s where we’ll end up.
I don’t think Trump intends to field the military against another military anyway. The performance required to massacre civilians isn’t a high bar.
So he’ll cripple our military by installing loyalists and removing competent leaders by Totally bypassing existing procedures in the Pentagon… Wonder if any foreign adversaries will decide to test our strength once this is done… Love this timeline. Give me more.
When they do it’ll be Biden’s fault somehow.
I’m not seeing much benefit for them. If their goal is to destabilize the US, we’re doing the job ourselves far better than they ever could. And if their goal is to conquer territory? The US is pretty isolated and it would be difficult to maintain control unless it was Mexico or Canada invading. Oh, other than Alaska, Russia could attempt to annex it. Trump might even just hand it over if they ask!
As an individual territory, the U.S. is isolated. As an empire, we have bases on every continent. The risk isn’t being killed. It’s being declawed.
Not advocating for American imperialism, just clarifying the point.
I would gladly welcome Canadian troops down here
100% agree, also, I think we’ve come across each other before. Love the tag and pic. Metroid is my favorite series.
Sadly, Dread was not for me. Too much twitch reaction and pattern memorization required to progress, not enough exploration. Hoping I’ll like Prime 4 better!
Haven’t played all the way through personally, but I enjoyed it. There was a skill gap for me though via the same twitch reactions 😂.
We’ll just pretend the other m didn’t happen. But yes been looking forward to MP4 for SOOOOO long. Honestly gonna miss the Wii controls, thought they worked really well for Metroid.
other m didn’t happen
That was literally the quote by my username in the Nintendo subreddit.
Was hegseth chosen for his skin colour or his soul. I guess we’ll never know
His professed loyalty to Trump. There is nothing else now.
Oh no, it’s the consequences of our actions! What a fucking joke of a country we are in.
They’re better positioned than most to actually do something about it, but they won’t.
Well considering they came out in opposition to Trump and now they’re scrambling to figure out what to do with illegal orders, I really wouldn’t say they’re doing nothing.
We shall see.
but not a surprise to the people who actively voted against him and his party in order to not have them in control.
OH OH OH OH IVE SEEN THIS ONE!!!
NEXT THEY’RE GONNA REVEAL VAULT PROGRAMS!!!
I guess on the plus side when China invades Taiwan we won’t have to honor our long-standing commitments and get our hands dirty defending our allies I mean economic partners
With TSMC in Taiwan still the only chipmaker worth its salt in the world, that’s not going to happen. They’ll have every carrier group there the second China sticks it’s pickles across the line.
Trump believes Taiwan “stole” chip making technology from the states. And judging from most Republican’s general stupidity on this matter… They think majority of the semiconductors are produced in China. Because to them Taiwan == China.
I think this is pretty funny in a the capitalist propagandizers are running the nuclear state insane asylum kind of way.
Put in a clown, you get a fucking circus.
Harriet Miers is smiling.
Nice job dumbfuckmericans
I agree, those who voted for that fucking idiot are indeed dumbfuck Americans.
Hey, a lot of us tried! It’s literally stacked against the sane people over here!
