What is this world coming to? Hegseth has turned into Trump because he’s rude and careless. He’s been doing things without any logical reasons for doing or not doing something that was expected of him and the Pentagon. He’s erratic and won’t explain anything or advise ahead of time. He‘s making more people angry, and we didn’t think it was possible. Hey, Republicans? Look at what you gave us – an imbecile with delusions of grandeur. With appreciation for Raw Story:
The Pentagon blindsided Republican lawmakers Friday after abruptly scrapping a 4,000-troop deployment to Poland, a decision that reportedly surprised Army leaders, according to Politico.
Army leaders admitted they had no real answers about the shock cancellation, leaving Congress furious over the last-minute move as Republican lawmakers have had conflicting views from the Trump administration involving security efforts in Europe, Politico reported.
Last year, lawmakers had established limits for troop withdrawals as tensions mounted over whether the Trump administration would pull back on sending troops to support European allies. Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) called it “a slap in the face” to America’s NATO allies.
That should not have been cancelled. Does Petey Boy not understand that if Putin gets Ukraine, then he’s coming after Poland next because it’s a logical extrapolation? Apparently not, because these folks were in the process of preparing to go, and then to have the rug yanked out from under them is just baloney. We all know how Trump feels about NATO. If he’s having Hegseth stop the changeover and leave Poland bereft and on their own, staring at the map and wondering when Russia is going to turn its attention their way. They’ll be stuck in a holding pattern for possibly years. That’s no way to live.
“I just want to say this is a slap in the face to Poland; it’s a slap in the face to our Baltic friends,” Bacon said. “It’s a slap to the face of this committee.”
“We don’t know what’s going on here, but I can just tell you we’re not happy with what’s being talked about, particularly since there’s been no statutory consultation with us,” said Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers.
Petey, Petey, Petey. Your word is not the law of the land. You cannot change things on a whim, no matter what you do. Hmmm, I wonder if Congress has considered impeaching you? We don’t know if it can be done because apparently, we can’t get him fired. Nuts. The longer we have to put up with him and his Secretary of War *cough*not*cough* nonsense.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth opted to cancel the plan — and lawmakers wanted to know why — demanding that Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and acting Chief of Staff Gen. Christopher LaNeve explain what prompted the plan to change, Politico reported.
“The pair indicated the administration only made the decision in recent weeks and did not provide a rationale for it,” according to Politico
What do you want to bet he cancelled it for some imagined slight? Doesn’t that sound about right for Petey Boy? The man is going to make us crazy. And can we bet that he pushed Trump into the war? If it wasn’t Hegseth that pushed, was it Bibi? Well, the truth will come out eventually, and then everyone will know. But back to the original topic, what did Hegseth have going on with stopping the deployment? Good grief.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
