Hegseth: "The president was clear this morning in his Truth that there are countries around the world who ought to be prepared to step up on this critical waterway as well. Last time I checked there was supposed to be a big bad Royal Navy that could be prepared to do things like that."

The Commander-in-Chief of the United States military is now suffering from frontal lobe dementia to such an advanced degree that he is unable to focus on his illegal war of aggression against Iran for even just a minute without getting distracted. Zero impulse control left.

"America has the finest warfighters in History. We. Do. Not. Need. Anyone's. Help. Understand? But *squints into camera* I don't know if anyone else can say they have stepped up *looks around incredulously* like America. A bunch of wussies out there in other countries. Who, again, we do not need."

Trump "has been willing to do the heavy lifting on behalf of the free world to address this threat of Iran" Trump didn't speak w European countries before going in and breaking the strait of hormuz...but other countries are asked to clean up the mess he made.

WHERE IS CONGRESS? Trump is waging an illegal war in Iran, and Americans are dying. Article I belongs to the People, not the President. Email, Fax or USPS Congress to demand an end to the strikes & immediate accountability: resist.bot/petitions/PA... 🚨🇺🇸 #WarPowers #NoWarWithIran #Impeach

These are the stupidest people who have ever existed You intentionally alienated your allies and purposely stated you didn’t need them Then you started this war, with Israel, against Iran Now that it’s going terribly, you want the allies you said you didn’t need back? What a drunk idiot.

And don't forget we saw how he pulled support for Ukraine and told Europe that we're on our own when it comes to Russia. Now he's in a mess of his own making in Iran, Europe and the UK are saying "Nah. We're good, Donald. We're gonna sit this one out."

Trumps America has failed they now want others to clean up the mess and be the fall guys. Forgeting all these countries thay are insulting had large empires and know the game they are playing.

big strong man admits british still are better than him. This reads like a younger brother crying to their older brother for help when he bullied a black kid at school. the older brother should beat up his lil bro. just saying.

Hegseth and Trump think that slagging off their allies is a good strategy. After all the British and the French are well known for accepting criticism.

Perhaps your treatment of the Japanese Prime Minister along with the constant threats to Canada and Greenland had something to do with it.

Insult your allies, start a war, then expect them to bail you out. The US is being led by the lowest IQ administration in history. Trump has to be removed from office as we will not survive 3 more years of this insanity.

I'm sure he is convinced that, in doing so, he was showing them their place in the global hierarchy—and that this is precisely why they must assist him. Like vassals. 🤦

They'll just replace him with someone exactly the same. The reason every Republican politician falls in line behind Trump is because they're hoping they'll be able to take his place when he inevitably goes.

I'm almost positive this is why you consult with your allies before choosing to go to war. This is also why you don't spend a year shitting all over your (former?) allies before begging them to help you with the war in which that consultation never happened.

REMEMBER GANG! This FUCKING IDIOT was part time; weekend host on fox! And also has a DRINKING PROBLEM! Now he's head of the DOD! INCOMPETENCE abound! WTF 🤯

So Dumb Don and Pistol Pete start a war with no plans and no ally consultation. It goes badly pear shaped and these two US buffoons are cornered, their backs against the wall. They messed up so badly but are now blaming allies for not coming to their rescue. The US has lost all credibility.

Putin: “Wouldn’t it be funny if Trump made that grease-head guy you have on Fox News the Secretary of Defense?” Murdoch: “You mean Pete Hegseth? He’s an idiot!” Putin: “Yeah, exactly.”

When Hegseth says “…in his Truth…” journalists should clarify by adding the words “social media post”. Don’t let this regime get away with this.

The UK govt has decided that it's not their war. Allowing you to use RAF Fairford to stage B52s is a step too far for a great many UK citizens. The Andrew are busy dealing with Putain's shadow war on NATO. You made your bed, Kegsbreath, lie in it.

Hey Pete don’t start fucking wars to distract from the Epstein Files! You started it without approval from anybody and you can finish it! NATO is activated when a nation gets “invaded” not when someone is a bully!

Trump, Hegseth, the Republican Party, generally, they're all completely oblivious to the fact that they sound like weak, incompetent, cowardly buffoons.

Last time I checked there was supposed to be a big bad US Navy who did nothing to secure the Suez water way in the 1950s and instead the US admin at the time used it to undermine the pound as the global currency.... who did little to help the UK in the Falklands because 'it wasn't their war'. #Karma

N.B. the US was right in regards to combatting British imperialism, in the same way the UK is right combatting US imperialism in the Gulf. By the US's logic the US wasn't right if it undermined UK hegemony #WhatGoesAroundComesAround

that’s it, mock the country you are trying to bully into your stupid war. masterful gambit, sir. Also, Europe aint going to war for a thing Israel started. obviously.

'Big Bad Royal Navy'? Yeah. Up to the 1930s and early war years. The biggest. Then, after, you know, America eventually came in after Germany declared war on US and Japan attacked both, the USN built up. Then it wasn't. Followed by end of Empire a big decline. As all empires do. Know what I mean?

We stupidly made this problem and no one should help us solve it. As much as it would suck for my pocketbook, I hope we get to the point where the straight is open to everyone but us and Israel until we fix our shit.

Sorry, Europe has a war at the door to defend against, not the a adventures of a US president, who, always plays against Europe. Till yesterday he was openly talking about taking Greenland from an ally. Nobody wants to deal with ayatollahTrump.

Nay. Your beer balls started this. Show us how big of a man you are, warfighter. Lead the charge from the front, not a barstool via Signal. Remember, god anointed Trump to do this, not NATO. This is your holy war. Why do you call to the Pharisees for support. Is your faith that weak? FuckIn’ alky!

running his mouth like a bully on the Playground who started a fight picked on the wrong one ,now stands facing getting his ass and ego beat he degrades another in hopes by doing so they will come save his ass to protect their honor because he has none! Drink more water boy you pissin in the wind

My grandad was in the big bad Royal Navy in the First World War and I'm sure would be repulsed by Hegseth and Trump and by the idea of fighting an illegal, insane war on their behalf.

Last time I checked there was supposed to be a big bad American Navy, biggest and baddest in the world, that was prepared to do things like that mission. We pay enough for such a Navy. What's holding you back, Kegbreath?

The ability to talk like that to our *enemies* is because of our allies and partners. If our nat sec leaders keep trash talking our A&P, we are going to find ourselves at a loss when we need real help.

Interesting that he's begging GB, who he constantly denigrates, instead of his good friend, whom he also likes and respects, Vladimir. Seems like his best pal, that also respects him as one of the greatest presidents he's ever seen, would be happy to pitch in for a good cause.

Maybe Hegseth should ask himself why he followed Trump into an illegal war that has cost the world's economies tens of billions and that will also cost countless thousands of lives. Maybe the self-proclaimed Christian should consider that!

The Royal Navy has two carriers, a small nuclear sub force and basically fuck all else. They barely have enough destroyers and frigates (13 total) to escort their carriers. They have a permanent base at Bahrain but NO ships based there.

ONCE AGAIN, this drunken tattooed ambulatory bowel movement IGNORES the FACT that the "critical waterway" was JUST FINE until Trump BOMBED IRAN. And his smirking bullsh*t trolling of our allies isn't going to "shame them into action." That only works with spineless Republicans in the USA.

Yeah, and this one's a two-parter. 1). You're 100% spot-on, and there is a definite playbook being followed, a distinct affinity for oh, I dunno...maybe 1930s Germany? 2). Trump's spent his whole life yelling "JUMP!" and his victims sob "How HIGH, sir?" For reasons I can't explain, he's "feared."

As a naval family... Fuck off. We also have a concept called moral courage which is used to say politely... The very same as above.

Beside the point I guess, but it’s so nasty how they stole the word “truth” to refer to posts on the state/party run social media platform. It’s like too on the nose for a novel

My immediate association with this ("The president was clear this morning in his Truth...") was Newspeak. It's the language a totalitarian state would use.

Mate. You guys just piss off home and the Strait reopens. At a guess. Which is substantially more thought about the issue on my part than Trump and his MAGA clowns put in before starting this war.

* When will everyone admit Trump is a 80 year old dementia crazy old man, that is burning down the world economy & giving America's enemies comfort that are in a good position for a first nuclear strike on America. A dementia idiot surrounded by fox news appointees administration idiots. *

What an absolute bunch of crybabies that go around breaking things without knowing how to fix them and expecting others to come to the rescue. They are finding out that all those years of insults, trade wars and disrespect are coming back to bite them.

“The world should thank us for breaking the Strait…now they have the privilege of fixing it, so that we can then declare victory for not knowing what we were doing when we launched this illegal war…you’re welcome NATO…” - The 6-7 SecDef Can this getting any dumber? It’s as if lives aren’t at stake…

Audacity in chief, Pete Hegseth. He knows no bounds or limits. He charges heedlessly forward, like a drunk behind the wheel at 2AM on an icy mountain road, with his three kids in the back.

When a bully starts a fight and can't finish it Doesn't know how to finish and cries for others to join in and bail him out When you are stupid enough to get doped by Netanyahu and he sits back laughs at you and lets you take the punches Yes you are winning Idiot

UK govt: “yeah thanks, can you stfu for a sec while we complete this zoom call with Tehran? We’ve got it sorted and You’re kinda loud and stupid. Have you been drinking again?”

Trump blocked the Straits of Hormuz so why should the rest of us pay in blood & cash to unblock it? As usual when he blunders Trump expects everyone else to get him out of the muck. After all he has said & done about Europe, especially the UK & Ukraine he deserves to be totally ostracized!
