MOULTON: I'm not asking you to talk about the Iran nuclear program. I'm asking you to talk about the English language. What's the difference between 'obliterated' and 'significantly degraded'? Are they the same? ADM COOPER ... MOULTON: Why did we start this war? Was President Trump lying to us?

I'm not voting for Mouton in the MA Senate primary (you throw trans people under the bus, you don't get a second chance). However, he's been excellent questioning regime stooges, esp on military matters.

As navy veteran this man makes me sick to my stomach. This man is too stupid to see that this administration is going to use him as a scapegoat when one of our ships are sunk to bottom of the straits.

well, no pity here. under his co-leadership 160+ school girls were bombed, 40+ venezuelan civilans killed not to mention the fisherman in the caribean... they all can not get enough bad luck to make up for their crimes, that in all probability will go unpunished =/

I think he knows full well and long since decided that it's better to be in the chain and mitigate and point out rather than not be there at all.

It's clear that the general councilled Pig Hogsbreath and El Presidente Gordito Grande on the consequences of a prolonged war and the halting of commerce through the strategic straight of Hormuz. They chose to ignore him, apparently trusting Bibi's fiction.

It would be very enlightening to hear a similar conversation between a displeased Admiral Cooper and, say, an aircraft carrier's ordnance handler who'd reported that "a small fraction" of the weapons fell overboard.

Bingo! He spilled the beans. Basically he said he did present the scenario that Iran could close the Strait. Comatose Don knew it could happen, Hegseth probably hoped it would happen.

This asshole is more afraid of making Trump mad by saying the wrong thing then actually serving his nation. Cooper is a hod damned clown.

Moulton is tearing the stripes right off the scared shitless Admiral. The command of the armed forces are afraid of a geriatric pedophile and a drunk. Let that sink in. Fuck

I truly dont respect any of the people who are running any aspect of our government at this point. Cooper should not be in leadership of any part of our military.

Adm Cooper served as the commander of the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. Fifth Fleet, and Combined Maritime Forces from 2021 to 2024. Doesn’t that mean he SHOULD be able to answer these questions… Not ONLY the nuclear program of Iran ..

Adm Cooper can either retain his dignity and morality and be walked out under this administration or shed his honor and ideals in the hopes that he survives this administration. The next one will surely remove him from leadership

This is the level of fear and unprofessionalism Trump demands from "his generals." It's what you'd expect and he's delivering it in spades. These cowards need to be marched into the Capitol every day this war drags on to show the world how incompetent our military has become under stupid fascism.

If Adm Cooper were to walk out in front of the assembled USN now, 100% of the assembly would be required to come to attention He cannot tell the truth, is resorting to childish obfuscation Of course that is Trump's fault, but Cooper has to live with the fact that he is disgracing the uniform.

Holy shit, is this guy a cuck or what? He's willingly humiliating himself to what? Save his job? How can someone with this rank have so little self respect? How did he get to this rank with having seemingly ZERO conviction? FUCKING PATHETIC!

Painful. Shameful. Where are your balls, Admiral? Where is your duty to America to be forthright with Congress? If you’re too chickenshit to answer a simple question I don’t want you anywhere near my US Navy. Take off the uniform if you want to be a footstool to cadet bonespurs aka #trumpepstein

exactly. Why are they willing to do things they're not willing to answer for with their full chest? If he's too ashamed of what he's doing to talk about it before Congress, THE legitimate US political authority, then he should resign, but he wont cuz he cares for money as much as he doesnt for honor

He risked life and limb by signing up and he’s afraid of a diaper baby who did everything he could to avoid serving including sucking dick. Many people are saying #trumpepstein & Roger stone had consensual sex and #krasnov was born when the Kremlin told him as much in 1987

This gentleman must be so disappointed to discover that his career path to deliver top tier strategic leadership as an Admiral, suddenly hinges on whether he *also* has passable skills as an individual-contributor political hack. I wish him well. Honourable discharge, and Godspeed.

China, Russia and Iran along with most of the world are laughing their assess off at how incompetent the US has become under this President. Even our military leaders are too cowardly to stand up for the country.

I appreciate the tough Q's, but let's be honest here, the purpose of asking these questions isn't an attempt at disclosure seeking. he's purposefully not even giving him an opportunity to answer, instead just moving on to the next question, etc. I want the answers. Let him explain or hang himself.

We are slow walking towards repeating our nation’s failed wars of the past 60 years, and bumbling, non-analytical officers motivated more by rank than success is why good people leave the military.

Unpopular opinion: Admiral Cooper is trying to keep his job here, by not being seen as directly contradicting Trump. So what Rep Moulton should consider is - is Cooper the kind of guy we need to keep around, or is he just another yes man? I don't know, but Moulton could be killing our own guy here.

It's refreshing to have an Admiral who isn't armed with a oppo book to combat individual congress members like Kash, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, etc.... ....It shows a form of respect which has been lacking, even if Admiral isn't answering the questions in a straight forward manner.
