Politics department of war Pete hegseth
Pete Hegseth said other countries had privately thanked him for his drug boat bombing and that’s not even the worst part of his chest-thumping rant
That one guy you always mute in the group chat, ‘Secretary of War,’ Pete Hegseth, can’t stop shooting his mouth off about blowing up boats. But don’t worry, it’s okay, because he’s getting lots of thank you letters from other countries around the world. You just can’t see them because they’re private.
The Trump administration, you might remember, has been accused of committing a war crime after 11 people were killed in a U.S. airstrike on a boat allegedly carrying drugs from Venezuela.
And here is Hegseth’s latest missive from the ‘front’.
Pete Hegseth claims officials from other countries have thanked him “privately” for blowing up a boat and killing 11 people without any due process pic.twitter.com/hvN6iPSI5R

Feel better now about killing those 11 people? Yeah, except it’s fair to say not everyone was buying it.
It’s true!!!
Many strong, completely unnamed officials have called Pete with tears in their eyes and voices shaking, thanking him profusely for abandoning international due process in favor of execution of 11 individuals on a boat.

Ah yes, Pete Hegseth boasting about extrajudicial killings because nothing says ‘hero’ like getting thank-you notes for blowing up a boat and killing 11 people without a trial

Texas and Florida are not “countries”

A lot of secret thank-yous and nameless people piling on praise for this administration

In the same interview, Hegseth also talked in circles about how war creates peace in a scrambled word salad analogy that left Twitter scratching its head.
Q: Why was it necessary to change the name?
Pete Hegseth: Well, words matter. Titles matter. We’re the War Department. We want a warrior ethos. Those who long for peace must prepare for war. It’s because we want peace. We seek peace.

Hegseth has really settled into his role parroting Trump’s maniacal talking points. (Not a compliment.) The internet has taken notice.
Words matter, so I’ll bullshit you into oblivion with meaningless words. What an idiot.

This buzzword-spewing clown is all hot air. No amount of catchphrases, slogans or dept name changes can conceal how unfit he is for the job he’s in. It’s just a matter of time before he f’ks up again.

The US blowing up random civilian ships on the high seas without providing any hard evidence that “terrorists” were on board is horrific. Protocol calls for firing a warning shot and asking the boat to surrender. There was no need whatsoever for lethal violence.

NOTHING defines this regime more appropriately than his statement, “Titles matter.” The entire trump crime organization is nothing more than unqualified, cosplaying bullies.

Words and titles only matter to people who cannot back them up with actions. Actions are the only true representation of character.

The US wants a “war ethic.” Says who, the former weekend news show host from Fox?

Then shouldn’t it be the Department of Peace?
