Pete Hegseth today "We negotiate with bombs."

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

He believed himself manly when he said:

“The air campaign that we’ve conducted, that Israel’s conducted alongside us, was one for the history books, truly.

And it’s because we have a president of the United States that, when he sends his warfighters out to fight, he unties their hands to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one.

And that’s why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs.”

1. He sounds comical

It sounds like something an unintelligent child would say. Every time he gets in front of the camera it’s the same thing

[vapor2]

2. This war and those involved will surely be one for the history books

[msongs]

3. hegseth calls for trump sons to become warfighters instead of war profiteers.....yah in our dreams nt

[purr-rat beauty]

4. Uh....no we don't

Terrorists do.

[Mysterian]

6. Hate to break it to you...

but thanks to the evil republican party, the USA is now a terrorist state. A government that terrorizes its own citizens and people around the globe. Whether this failed state can fix itself is an open question.

[Ilsa]

5. So Krasnov & invertebrate GOP installed a

bloodthirsty dry-drunk to command the military to break code of warring which will also subject our military to the same barbarity in return.

Kegsbreath's wife probably crosstitched a "Fuck the Geneva Conventions" sampler for him.

[SheltieLover]

7. Quiet keg breath

[Initech]

8. God, what a fucking psychopath.

[ColoringFool]

9. He's A Manly Masculine Man.

[2naSalit]

12. But...

Only in his own mind!

[dalton99a]

10. "Marital disputes should be settled by beating your wife"

[GenThePerservering]

17. I suspect his wife

'wears the pants' in that household.

[Alice Kramden]

11. This guy's a psychopath

Such arrogance - uninformed, unqualified, and no doubt on Putin's payroll

[kacekwl]

13. His dick must be

smaller than trumps

[struggle4progress]

14. I want an international tribunal. Trump can buy them all ill-fitting shoes

[jfz9580m]

15. I can't quite say Rumsfeld was better

Just an earlier version and ffwd 20 years and this is where we are..A natural devolution I suppose - Rumsfeld to Hegseth.
Rumsfeld was less overtly crazy than Hegseth I suppose. That time they at least pretended the war had a rationale. Bush to Trump..
Outside of dropping nukes it is hard to see how much crazier the GOP could go.

So about that Nobel Peace Prize….


Sometimes I feel our reality is an argument for there being other, hopefully inaccessible, realities. Like the pacifist in 3-body, I would tell parallel realities to stay the hell away from this one. We deserve to be alone. We are awful.

Just by logical inference one wonders..lol. No not really..but good god…

Hegseth is crazy. Is he really still sober? Maybe that ass Musk has convinced them all that reality is a simulation.

It would explain the insanity. Hegseth behaves like a videogame/movie character and not a human being who understands the terrifying amount of responsibility that goes with a job like US Sec of Defense.

16. He means he's bombed most of the time.

[0rganism]

18. If you say so, but don't you dare be complaining when the Iranians opt to negotiate with explosives, too

And if they happen to blow up an elementary school near a US military base, I don't want you pretending this isn't something you and Bibi weren't perfectly comfortable with a couple weeks ago.
