Now trump is demanding they ignore the newest technology and take our warships back to WWII technology because that’s all his uneducated brain understands.

The Commander in Chief is way overboard with his and his cronies "American Interests" NOT the people's

Its about time. These people in the military are brainwashed into submission as mindless robot forces whose only objective is to destroy and dominate. They pledged to uphold the Constitution of this country and it is about time they follow through.

So strange that the largest terrorist nation in history is failing. It’s as if the rest of the world is standing up. And saying “Go Fuck Yourself”.

We need a modern day Truman Committee NOW

$9T to defense contractors, to the Trump boys' companies, and to pay for Hegseth's lobster feasts and makeup studio. Peanuts to sustain the troops.

Get our men and women out of there. Fire Pete Hegseth.

The Big Bad American Navy 😂

Don’t get me started

I think we are going to see massive exodus from the military and recruiting offices turned into ghost towns. Who in their right mind would join THIS military? In the past, some people joined the military as an alternative to prison. Not any more! There's not much difference, really.

🤬

FOLLOW THE MONEY! A lot of that money went to enrich Trump cronies!

The World is talking about the USS Abraham Lincoln, well that is because the rest of the group failed! As a Retired Veteran, hell I would jump off the deck to risk my life to swim to shore! Hell Prisoners get fed better food than they are now!

Huh. Bloody obvious in hindsight.

The federal government under the “leadership” of Trump has abandoned ship!

I had to make a decision before the 2020 election if I was going to continue my career, or retire. I saw the writing on the wall and left. So did a lot of other people. I for one wasn’t willing to risk serving with this fool as commander in chief again. I got it right, just four years too early

The situation is quite reminiscent of the reason Russia was unable to taken down Ukraine in three days, as they’d planned. Oligarchs had spent years hollowing out the military.

We can't feed the military industrial complex if we switch from old military tactics to modern military tactics being taught to us by Ukraine (cheap drones and insurmountable courage) This is the same story for big oil and coal. The rich won't let us move on from them

Everything is in terrible shape in this country.

Our drone tech is in Don Jr’s hands, top brass & JAG have been purged, soldiers are being treated like garbage,Trump is financially benefiting from military contracts, and making dumb decisions (like the steam catapult) —and the Iran War will go down aa the greatest military failure in modern times.

A draft dodger/felon/pedophile & a drunk/misogynist/white nationalist walk into a bar. & immediately lower it beyond recognition.

Pretty soon the Chinese will be able to swoop in and take everything we have because this dumbfuck president can only run our country in the ground.

The longer the war goes on the more humiliating,it is liable to be for Trump , as the hubris, racketeering, carelessness & ignorance become more exposed. If Trump left the Middle East now, many Americans would possibly have forgotten,the f*ck-ups by the mid--terms.

Everything King Wide-ass touches turns to shit.

It's OK, steam will fix it.

It is a good thing for the world. We don’t need super powered hegemons.

Awesome cartoon!🦅

I have to wonder how much $$ the current administration is raking in for their wars. How little are the forces carrying out the orders earning in comparison? Follow the $$ and find the truth.

#TaxRevolt #GeneralStrike #NQNQ247

9 Trillion were are the recites ?

Corporations have done exceedingly well though.

The most powerful Navy in the world 🌎🌍, hell even in History can NOT send a supply ship(s) full of food/materials needed to those sailors?

At this point its the same as the Russian military.

Putin’s orders Sir!

Trump floating the construction of new military war ships. Billions of dollars. But the warfighters on the USS Lincoln are not doing so good. People are fodder to Bone Spurs.

Where did all that money go? Start checking for offshore accounts. How did Hegseth spend $93 billion IN ONE MONTH? We know he bought lobsters, steak, crab, shrimp, a $98,000 piano for a chief of staff, Japanese flutes and other junk. Where is the rest of it? Where are the receipts???

Now we know why Trump kept asking for help.

Good. As a citizen of a country under threat of enslavement by the US, I am happy to see the US military blow its own brains out and ruin its equipment somewhere else.

We need a forensic audit of the Defence Department going back to Reagan. WTF did all that money purchase? Serve? Or, wasted upon?

Republicans claim to be pro military when they’re really pro military contractor.

did they really spend it on defense or were they skimming like what happened in Russia

Can we get Mr Fantastic?

Trump works for Putin

Another greatest scandal in US history. This is becoming a very common occurrence.

☹️😒😒

We are doing to ourselves what we did to the Soviet Union.

… and for the whole world to see!

He keeps so much behind the paywall tho

And we were the peak of supply chain control! The US military shouldn't have supply issues. We have a history of Ice cream boats and air dropped Burger Kings for fucks sake! It's a travesty how much they've fucked this up.

When the petro dollar collapses we move into the phase of total chaos. Soon.

Great point! 🦅

We can’t afford healthcare. F them and their 3 million missles. It’s been less than 6 months and they depleted the stockpile. That’s malpractice and incompetence, and you have a stuck fatigue carrier in harms way. This is criminal.

I couldn’t agree more. This what happens when you’re arrogant and greedy.

I’m beginning to wonder if this isn’t part of the plan, weaken our military capabilities, while selling us out to the highest bidder? We need to vote like our lives depend on it! Because we have no idea what the 🤡 has in store for us! He’s soulless.

They outsourced our military to private equity. During the first Gulf War.

But look how many billionaires our defense budget has created! Welfare for the wealthy!

A good place to start would be an audit of their expenditures. How much is wasted on excessive markup from private contractors? It’s been a running joke for decades but if military brass actually gave a damn, they would put a stop to it. But they don’t.

Wait…the super genius wants to change aircraft carriers back to steam catapult

Russia and Trumps boss will be over the moon

We need more huge billion dollar destroyers and battleships and steam powered aircraft carriers. Which can be taken out by a $20k drone🙄

It’s not a scandal. It’s a purposeful destruction of the military branches of the United States of America. It’s being done by those elected & appointed to power and with the blessing of the commanders of those branches who refuse to stand up against this annihilation of a free country by Nazis. RIP

You meant "The US has spent about $9 TRILLION on defense graft and corruption since 2016", right?

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

It’s ether eggs or jet fuel. Not both.

The 20's are the decade of "super powers" proving they are paper tigers who cannot take on militaries and countries significantly smaller. CHINA! You're up next! I've no doubt they'd fail as badly if they invaded Taiwan.

The average R voter (I mean dupe) will not have the slightest notion. They will listen to the orange Nero and apply their chicken hawk logic and eat it all up like the cult members they are.

All that money is going somewhere. Makes me think of Putin, taken unawares that his military was in shambles because his henchman were grabbing whatever they could.

It's incompetent "leadership" destroying the military. Not the rank and file.

This is exactly what the orange idiot wanted to do! The Republicon leadership should be held accountable 😒

The US is a nation in rapid moral, economic, and structural decline. It will collapse in my child's lifetime.

The Pentagon hasn't passed an audit in eight years. It's on track to not pass any during Hegseth's reign. Where are all our trillion$ in taxe$ for "defense" going, ffs?

A big fat SPASIBO from Moscow!

if only the money went to defense...

Also this long predated Trump, he’s just made it magnitudes worse

Let's all just sit around and watch while tRUMP/Hegseth destroys EVERY GOD DAMNED THING in this country they can. Citizens of this country are FUCKING WORTHLESS!

Bloat, waste, and misappropriation. Yeah sounds typically USA these past 10 years.

This ship's photos never show its escorts which usually consist of 7 to 10 ships.

Hegseth should be put on a ship for 9 months, not allowed to leave and not treated differently than the Sailors.

Between seeing the supposedly dominant foe (Russia) unable to beat Ukraine and our own military shaken under the burden of fighting a brief air war with Iran, I think it's legitimate to call for an investigation into US defense spending over the last 40 years. That money is in somebody's pocket.

Great question! 🦅

They're putting it in their offshore bank accounts.

Don't you dare put this mess on Lloyd Austin. Our military ran just fine until Hogsbreath and Dump got their hands on it. Just like every last one of our institutions. They weren't perfect but they weren't destroyed!

How odd, that under Trump’s presidency, the military has been degraded. It’s as if he’s working against US interests, in every conceivable way

I wonder how much it will take for them to revolt

It’s like foundation when the Empire falls from rot inside

The U.S. is getting what it voted for. What it voted for twice.

On the bright side, this might make it easier for us to overthrow the government and replace it with a democracy. We have already tolerated far worse than the founding fathers did before the first American revolution. Now our own military can attest to that and the waste of their lives.

Well... Republicans "say" they needed that amount. But, with the way things really are, i agree with people who say those monies were most likely embezzled.

He is weakening us so he can sells us off to other countries.

They're stealing the money 💰 sing it with me

The Military Contractors! 🦅

It’s just a passthrough of taxpayer money so some people can get really rich. Defense is not really the goal.

Maybe they shouldn't have followed illegal orders to fight an illegal war.

The money went to the traitortot and his croneys

Ripe to be invaded. Just the way Putin wants.

I think it is time for the military industrial complex to be spanked!

I wonder what happens when a big fat bloated arrogant bully...becomes incapacitated somehow...like maybe he's run out of ammunition...

The investigation will be huge. They have to look at my defence contractors, contracts and accountability. If Cong gives the military and DHS money the will have alot to answer for.

Sounds exactly like something...oh I don't know...Putin would want. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but the Russians have known for decades that their only shot at taking down the U.S. would be from the inside. Sure feels like that is happening right now.

In 2021, command of USS Lincoln was given to Capt. Amy Bauernschmidt. An Academy grad and veteran helicopter pilot, she was first female commander of a carrier. Now a Rear Admiral, she's director of Pacific Operations. Hegseth has blocked her further promotion. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Bau...

War is a business, and business is good. All that $ going into private pockets.

bsky.app/profile/jcm4...

Do NOT vote Republican this November. They have had their chance and FAILED.

Trump and Hegseth are doing nothing but showing the entire world how weak the U.S. military has become under their leadership... just as Putin wanted.

$1 trillion Where is it going?

But that is Trump and too many billionaires. They don’t build or improve fantastic things. Too often they exploit. Too often they extract.

Ukraine has shown that a drone force can out fight a costly mechanized and troop heavy force. We need a complete rethink of future force structure.

USA is weak & divided. Crippling debt levels it cannot service. Weapons stash low. No allies left. Isolated. Widely distrusted i.e. Putin's plan being deliberately implemented by Trump. Anyone who doesn't realise that China knows that this is the perfect time to try to take Taiwan is being naive.

I said it first. EVERYTHING he has done has made us a weaker more vulnerable country MILITARY FINANCIALLY PHYSICALLY MENTALLY EMOTIONALLY ENVIRONMENTALLY we are all in danger.

Other countries are certainly paying attention…

Makes Fast & The Furious seem rather quaint by comparison, eh? 😏 #hegsethswaterloo
