Politics bombs Iran Pete hegseth
Pete Hegseth laid out his very own brand of diplomacy strategy and it’s two parts terrifying, one part depraved, with a dash of insecurity to top it off
Pete Hegseth continues to treat global warfare like a 10-year-old boy playing with tiny green army figurines in his basement.
The latest statement he made proves just how out of depth he is right now.
The Secretary of Defense laid out his negotiating strategy and — SHOCKER — it involves killing anyone who disagrees with him.
Here are Hegseth’s own words:

The fact that he feels free to speak like this in public is the perfect encapsulation of the current White House. Nobody is held accountable for previously unheard of behavior.
Donald Trump is actually standing right there behind him, nodding in approval.
He might be the only one on the same page as Hegseth, though. Everyone online was properly mortified.

He’s one gin away from saying “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”

This is not how representatives of a superpower talk. This is how jumped-up teenagers talk. https://t.co/0t18P5envi

Mask off moment. Pete Hegseth explicitly admits the US uses terrorism as diplomacy. We negotiate with bombs. He threatens to keep his hand on the throttle over Iranian cities. They are openly confessing to imperialist war crimes against sovereign nations. pic.twitter.com/d0Thlf31jp
