Yea no. Of all the people, he is about the *last* person to ask to do that for the people. He’s mad with violence. He thinks he knows what he’s doing in the war, when he doesn’t. He has his ideals, his ideas, but it appears he won’t listen to the military members with experience. Instead, he prances around and “shows off” himself doing PT with military divisions, and can’t see the trouble standing behind him. We know his videos are fake. We know he’s just a bantam rooster, strutting around to make himself look bigger and better than he actually is. Petey Boy is showing up in the news even more than Elon did. Huh. Acknowledgement to Raw Story:
After giving a rah-rah speech about the US war on Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was put on the spot by a reporter from the Daily Caller to reassure his MAGA base with rumors of a possible land invasion hanging in the air. Toward the end of his Pentagon press conference, Hegseth was asked by conservative journalist Reagan Reese about the chokehold on oil at the Strait of Hormuz before being pressed with, “Without asking you to comment on things that you can’t talk about, what is your message to Americans who love the president and strongly believe in him, but are very worried about this notion of boots on the ground?”
Ahahaha. Blindsided! Petey Boy isn’t the man with the words. He’s the man with the gun. He knows the war is going badly, even if he won’t admit it, so trying to schmooze this question may have been too much for his tiny little brain and world-sized ego. And my computer just crashed and lost the full piece. DAMN. Guess I have to mostly start over.
After knocking aside questions about the Strait of Hormuz, a slightly baffled Hegseth stated, “I don’t understand why the base, which they have already, they understand, wouldn’t have faith in his ability to execute on this?”
That’s because it will be a bloodbath, you twit! It’s a disaster waiting to happen. Throwing our servicemembers against a country where both the people and the landscape will work against them. The odds SUCK. Me? No faith. None. Just going by what Pz’s own Denis tells us, it will not be anything resembling easy. It will decimate us, all because Donnie the Dolt and Dumb McNamara Petey Boy didn’t think this through. You can’t just look at the numbers. You have to consider physical features, too. We might have been able to get to Kharg Island before the Strait was closed. Not now. And as one of my readers told me, I’m paraphrasing an old Navy saying, which is something to the effect that once a body of water is mined, it stays that way. Wonderful.
“Look at his track record of pursuing peace through strength, America First outcomes,” he insisted. “And what he’s simply saying is exactly true, and I’ve said from this podium too, we’re not going to foreclose any option. You can’t fight and win a war if you tell your adversary what you are willing to do or what you are not willing to do –– to include boots on the ground.” “So if we needed to, we could execute those options on behalf of the president of the United States and this department,” he added. “Or maybe we don’t have to use them at all. Maybe negotiations work, or maybe there’s a different approach. But the point is to be unpredictable in that; certainly not let anybody know what you’re willing to do or not do.”
Something just occurred to me, and I would have to ask Denis about it. If we tried to move in troops, wouldn’t Iran see what we are doing and be prepared for it? Nothing like broadcasting. And there are a whole lot of other factors that Denis has covered. No matter what, boots on the ground are DUMB. Plus stupid and moronic. The descriptive list goes on. Feel free to add your own.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
how about what are you going to on behalf of the goddamned country, not the idiot man baby who thinks he’s king?
Or what is he going to do to de-escalate this war to prevents rivers of blood being shed by our servicepeople?
He can’t do anything but bluster and brag. A leader? Oh HELL NO.
