Summary

Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News presenter with minimal managerial experience, as defense secretary has stunned the Pentagon.

Hegseth has been a vocal critic of the military, calling for a purge of generals and questioning the appointment of Gen. Charles Brown as chair of the joint chiefs of staff.

Hegseth’s nomination is seen as a boost for the far right in Israel, as he has shown support for territorial expansion and suggested the construction of a new temple on the Temple Mount.

    The US would do better under a military coup.

    DNC helping Trump/GOP achieve Israel first rule over America is a failure of democracy.

    Military rulership can implement UBI, which is also impossible under power corruption democracy. Same for global warming.

    Military rulership can end the unrealistic/collapsing delusion of warmongering supremacy in a world that the US is losing, but politics maintains an illusion of “we just need to be bigger assholes” to successfully change.

    Biden could help if he wasn’t DNC/Trump/Israel loyal first. He can’t be relied upon to save America by encouraging military rule.

      Not funding a genocide perpetrated by a rogue nuclear state that routinely spies on US citizens and influences our politics is kinda antisemitic don’t you think?

        Careful… someone with my religion used to own your house. Would be anti-semitic of you to suggest I can’t take it.
