Just wow… so its an illegal war. They know it.
He also just told you its a oil grab war.
That’s one way to admit it’s illegal I guess.
So much for the people cheering for ‘Trump saving innocent Iranian protesters’
Is he talking about the war over there or over here, because it definitely describes both.
And incidentally that pic is of Hegseth explaining to the bartender why he still hasn’t paid his tab.
Use this speech in the trial 3 years from now. Enough to give him life.
Who would expect this administration to even KNOW what democracy was to be able to teach it?
So what does that leave as the endgame strategy? If we’re not going to push for a democratic government that leaves installing a dictator or just killing everyone. Even if this was an attempt to conquer Iran, we’d need to eventually make it a principality and introduce a democracy.
All that means is they have no plan.
Wtf is a politically correct war.
A “politically correct” war is one where you don’t kill little girls by bombing a school, I guess.
It’s a shakedown. Trump can use the US military to murder people and see how much he can get paid to pause or redirect the murders. As we all knew from the start. How will the propagandists brigading this sub spin this one? Obamadidit? Bidencrimes? BuButButEggsAreCheaper?
What in the hell is a “politically correct” war? One where they don’t murder and bomb indiscriminately?
Steadily merging into Colin Jost’s parody of him.
So there is no plan. Just like with Maduro. They killed the high command and that’s it. Now we get to watch a power vacuum and civil war.
What the fuck is this guy ever taking about?
Sounds like Hitler to the Wermacht before Operation Barbarossa
The US is led by a cult.
*”We didn’t start this war”*
*”No stupid rules of engagement”*
*”No politically correct wars”*
Well, that seals it – this is an international criminal syndicate cosplaying as a legitimate administration.
No democracy building or coordination with an interim government?
Oh, it’s just waste of resources, lost servicemembers and aircraft then
This guy is the exact same character as Trump, both unchecked since early childhood, rampaging and bullying their way thru life.
> Does not rule out boots on the ground
Christ. Impeach them all.
Everyone at the Pentagon, and everyone deployed around the world, ought to take note of the derision and contempt he showed when referencing previous administrations and previous wars.
So more dead kids?
By “not politically correct”, they mean “not humane”.
Kegsbreath needs to be removed and court martial
Admitting you have no serious plan beyond kill people is an insane thing to say.
I really hate this Nazi.
“What a monumentally dumb bitch.” -My entire family of US military veterans, NCO and CO
“we will rape and pillage and pull out once the oil is secure. No nation building”

Politically correct vs. Legally correct.
He is a war criminal. And a simpleton.
I wish more people had voted for Harris.
He doesn’t care why he’s sending your children to die in a war, just that he can.
This is a breath of fresh air. Remember in Afghanistan how we announced we were going to be bringing them democracy, and we did 20 years of “Nation building”?
Side note: France was raked over the coals for being cowards and not sending troops to Afghanistan. Even though they did in-fact send troops. [Here’s a picture of some of those french soldiers.](https://preview.redd.it/french-soldiers-back-from-afghanistan-after-doing-nothing-v0-knsiq4o2x1fg1.jpeg?auto=webp&s=99b4d20a1e2eb3706ad6fb6ee6444c06d29398a3) The reality was that France wanted to actually do democracy building and were frustrated by the coalition that just wanted to do military strikes. They were smeared by the US that even today we treat them like shit.
So I’m glad we’re taking the mask off and just admitting we aren’t actually trying to do any of that stuff. We aren’t even pretending to have good intentions anymore. It’s refreshing to just be OUT as a warmonger state.
He also stated that the American people aren’t going to be notified if boots are going to be on the ground. Fuck this guy, Fuck Trump and Fuck this Administration.
Well that’s terrific. I always find that the most tenuous actions need the least forethought and follow through.
So he is going with war crimes?
This administration is doing their best to tear down a democracy in their own country why would ever attempt to build one in another country?
The worst part is Iran will have their future generations hate America as they will see their parents/grandparents/uncles/aunts/family killed. And that type of hate will result in a lot of attacks on innocent Americans who don’t even agree with Trump or this war.
So just destroy all form of government and leave it to civil war, famine, water starvation and infighting? Great way to make millions of refugees overnight. They won’t care though since those will flood Europe, China, and the middle east instead.
I wonder how many nations that’ll destabilize alone. I’m sure Pakistan is gonna be 1 of those along with Iraq.
You absolute fcuking idiot. The precedent this sets is now off the scale. It undermines so much of what the US, the EU, NATO and other groups have been trying to achieve over the last 70 years. This is so far beyond treason now I fully believe this could result in death penalties for people like kegsbreath and the other maga enablers. They know exactly what they are doing. My God where are the continued mass strikes and protests in the US??? You guys are all on the hook for this and your kids may end up paying the price. The people you’re attacking don’t care who you voted for or if this war was Republican or Democrat driven. Furthermore, the other members of the global mafia elite (Putin etc.) now have all the precedent they need to attack or assassinate whatever leadership they like.
“Daddy, why do terrorists on the other side of the world hate us?”
“Well son, it’s because we drop bombs on their schools, and then our military leaders go on TV and say that’s the point.”
Yea, this is a Terrorist building exercise.
