Pete Hegseth fails to take responsibility, brings shame to the U.S. again.
Poor Pete and Donald. They are having trouble with the nation of 100,000,000 people they assaulted. They can’t stop the drones and missiles, because, Pete says, Biden gave all the weapons to Ukraine.
Yet when Ukraine offered its allies all its drone knowledge, the U.S. demurred, insisting it was the long master of the domain. Now, with years seeing the nature of modern warfare, the U.S. has no appropriate stocks at hand. Certainly, this is part of a plan, to raise oil prices, to distract from Trump’s child rape stories in the Epstein files. Why else send all the minesweepers away (to Malaysia and the U.S.) for an attack that has promised the mining of the straight of Hormuz for forty years? Get oil up, and keep it up, in the face of collapsing diesel and gas demand across Asia and Europe. (Electric car and light truck adoption. Over 75% of light trucks sold in China in 2025 were electric.)
Ukraine was provided and fired the same number of Patriot missiles in four years as America’s Mid East allies squandered in three days. He the U.S. or any of the targeted nations been a good friend and reliable ally to Ukraine, they would have been prepared. Ukraine has done so much, with so little help, it shocks and impresses.
The U.S. gave Ukraine three Patriot systems. Three. Four more came from allies stocks. That is why the U.S. can not control the fallout from the war it started mere says ago? What an embarrassment.
Meanwhile, despite insults from the U.S., Ukraine deploys across the md east to defend U.S. and allied interests, as the absurd Vance goes to Hungary to use his popularity to help Orban.
Additionally to blaming Ukraine, the U.S. is blaming Nato countries for not jumping in with the U.S. against Iran and for Hormuz patrols. This after criminal threats against Greenland that had many EU nations preparing to fight the U.S. in January. Is the administration clueless or mad?
Trump pulls sanctions off of Russia to temper the oil shock. Nothing will save Russia, Pootin has damned that empire on eight levels of tragedy. The world just hakes its head at U..S. actions and wonders what is going on that explains any bit of it.
