>“Um, well that’s—I would start by saying the arguments that have been made that somehow coming to the table right now is making concessions to Vladimir Putin outright, that we otherwise—or that the president or the United States shouldn’t otherwise make—I just reject that at its face,” Hegseth said. “There’s a reason why negotiations are happening right now, just a few weeks after President Trump was sworn in as the president of the United States.

Trump isn’t the leader of the free world. The whole concept died during his first presidency. This unqualified drunk clown fox news anchor should stfu….

Looking forward to more instances of this rapey coward crumbling through logical and patriotic scrutiny.

That’s exactly what I was thinking too, so what Russia is conceding? What Russia wants is:
1) Ukraine not joining NATO (Checked)
2) A buffer zone between NATO and Russia (checked)
3) Gaining land from Ukraine (checked)
What Ukraine wants is:
1) Reclaim the land (failed)
2) Join NATO or at least EU (failed)
3) Protection from US and NATO (up in the air)
So Russia basically win the war

He’s saying Putin is finally coming to the table because Trump projects “strength”
Really, Petey? Putin is only agreeing to negotiate with Trump because Trump is a tough negotiator who won’t give him whatever he wants?
That’s why he didn’t negotiate with Biden or Zelensky! He’s negotiating with Trump because Trump will give Russia the best deal and make sure Ukraine is iced out of the negotiations.

Lol This loser so far out of his depth and knowledge and overall competence that he’s a walking fucking train wreck. I really do pity our servicemen with this guy as acting secretary of defense. Can you imagine having to carry out any actual loarge scale logistically complex operation with this guy in charge. This douchebag is the living embodiment of feels over reals.

Did any believe that this guy was even 10% qualified for this job?
Good news is, I expected 60% turnover and 3-5 criminal indictments from TrumpS cabinet over the next 4 years. Hegseth’s time is short, MMW

He crumbled because he, like the rest of the current Administration, has no idea what they’re doing. Including Trump. Don’t believe any of them.

Zelensky/Ukraine- more strength than Putin ever imagined.
Trump/USA- just the weak dicks Putin figured.
So, let’s negotiate with Trump.

NATO nations should just kick usa out of the alliance at this point. Ukraine absolutely should and needs to be a part of NATO and usa is actively negotiating against the needs of NATO and it should be recognized.

What a little bitch. All these unqualified people who lived on Fox spewing lies and how easy this shit is are going to get ran over when working with or against other nations. It takes a professional and a skill to do that job.

people are massively confused. The USA cannot tell ukraine what to do. They can pull support sure, but then they lose access to the rare earth minerals. The USA can’t say, give us the minerals and give Russia what they want, or else. If they do that they would have to declare war on Europe.
