Must feel so good being a french sailor right now

Hegseth asked about Russia helping Iran to target Americans: "We're not concerned about that... The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're going to live." A grotesquely indiscriminate threat against the entire Iranian population.

Trump refuses to condemn Russia for helping Iran target U.S. troops: “They’d say we do it against them.”

They called him unqualified. They said he didn’t have the experience. He wasn’t a high enough rank. They said Trump only picked him because he was on FOX. They were wrong. ALL of them. That man, Pete Hegseth. They failed to tell you he had Ivy League school education. They fail to tell you how he was accepted to West Point but declined and went to Princeton University instead. Right now I don’t give a rats ass what they have to say. Pete Hegseth may go down as one of the best leaders the Dept of War has ever had. Since Hegseth arrived on the scene on day one he returned masculinity and toughness in our military. He ended everything DEI and woke. Men no longer were allowed to dress up like women. He returned discipline through the ranks and restored American might. I’ve never been more proud of our military and we owe Pete Hegseth a giant thank you for returning our military as the clear cut number one world power that we always were before liberal Democrats tried to throw it all away for DEI and woke policies. Strong leadership starts at the top and there will never be a stronger leader than President Trump. Trump chose Pete Hegseth and to say he’s been impressive is an all time understatement. He had our military ready on day one. Putting like a well oiled machine. His mastery and precision couldn’t be more evident as when he went into Iran, took out their nuclear operations, by dropping bombs with pinpoint accuracy, destroying everything underground, then leaving before they even knew what hit them, all while losing no American lives. After such perfection, Hegseth outdid himself when he went into Venezuela, took Maduro and his wife, all while Cuba was on guard protecting Maduro as well as China having military personnel there. He not only went into, grabbed Maduro and wife, but our military showed why our technology is the best in the world. He had our military disable the best technology China had also protecting Maduro, and showed the world, no one fucks with the American military. Once again, we went in, grabbed the prize and we were gone on an instant opening up many eyes in the world. Who was most impressed? China and Russia It didn’t end there. We tried playing nice with Iran. We pleaded for a deal. Iran spent everything trying to rebuild what we destroyed. The Iran people starving, desperately pleaded by protesting with their leaders. What did their leaders do? They went and massacred 35,000 of it own people. The U.S. once again brought them to the table but Trump had enough. Enough stalling, enough of the games. Once Trump knew they weren’t interested in making any deals, he once again called on his Secretary of War, Hegseth and Pete followed with the combined help from Israel and opened up a can of whoop ass that has never been seen before. In only one week, Irans navy was decimated, their air force decimated, much of their artillery and rocket launchers decimated. Again, crisp, clean, precise and the country that is the most feared in the Middle East is on the brink of defeat. All their leaders are dead and once our military finishes the job, hopefully the Middle East will be a much more stable region. Hopefully the people will enjoy their freedoms without the fear of being executed. With all going on, with all the hate coming from the Democrats and RINOs, all their negative press, with all the fake MAGA supporters throwing shade on everything the United States just accomplished, this will be remembered on the history books as one of the most impressive, successful military this great country has ever seen. All under the watch of the greatest President in our history led by the greatest leader of the Dept or War this country has ever seen. Pete Hegseth. I know you’ve been through hell and back from all the scrutiny you’ve received on a daily basis, but I want to thank you along with most of the country for keeping us all safe from a country that vowed Death to America. God Bless. My two cents

why exactly is that a stupid question?

🚨 Canada just publicly rebuked the United States and Israel: “The United States and Israel acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies — including Canada.” A NATO ally. On the record. Calling this illegal under international law. Spain banned US bases. Canada condemned the strikes. Senator Crow called it a lie. Senator Blumenthal fears boots on the ground. The entire world is watching a man start an unauthorized war — built on fabricated intelligence — while burying files that could end his presidency. Allies are breaking away. The coalition is collapsing. And Trump is threatening trade wars against anyone who won’t play along. This is what isolation looks like. This is what desperation looks like.

I never thought I would see one, but Taleb has outdone himself: a Black Swine post.

NATO Secretary Mark Rutte: "The commander in chief, the leader of the free world, President Donald J Trump -- I really commend what is happening here."

Crowds are seen gathering in the streets of Isfahan, Iran following the news of the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during joint U.S./Israeli strikes earlier today. The crowds appear to be jovial.
