Hegseth commits US to defense of Pacific territories against China

> US Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth has reaffirmed the Trump administration’s defense commitments to America’s Pacific territories of Guam and Northern Mariana Islands and that any attack on them would be an attack on the mainland.

> Hegseth touched down in Guam from Hawaii on Thursday as part of an Indo-Pacific tour, [..] in which he is seeking to shore up traditional alliances to counter #China https://www.benarnews.org/english/news/pacific/guam-china-hegseth-03272025211828.html

So, about that #Signal chat.

On Monday, shortly after we published a story about a massive #Trump-admin #security breach, a reporter asked the secretary of #defense, #PeteHegseth, why he had shared plans about a forthcoming attack on #Yemen on the Signal messaging app. He answered, “Nobody was texting war plans. And that’s all I have to say about that.”

“Pete Hegseth is the head of the Defense Department. He has served our country with honor. I am not trying to knock him or denigrate him in any way, we got to root for our elected politicians or the people that they assigned to departments and wish them nothing but the best in America's best interest. But the fact of the matter is, how is he not DEI?”

YES...he REALLY IS, that stupid...and that much of a traitor!!!
Hegseth being interviewed in Brussels:
REPORTER: You focused on what Ukraine has to give up. What concessions will be demanded of Putin? HEGSETH: Hmm. | would start by saying that the arguments that have been made that somehow sitting down at the table right now is making concessions to Vladimir Putin, | just reject that outright. REPORTER: Yes, but every "peace talk” so far has been about what Ukraine has to give up — territory, NATO aspirations, sovereignty. So what exactly is Putin putting on the table? HEGSETH: Well, | don't think it's fair to say that we're just giving concessions to Putin. REPORTER: Okay, is he pulling out the Russian troops? Paying reparations? Admitting war crimes? Or is his big “compromise” that he's just taking less from Ukraine than he originally wanted? HEGSETH: Look, negotiations require both sides to make sacrifices. REPORTER: Yes, but only one side has launched a full-scale invasion. If a guy steals your house and offers to give you back half of your living room, that's not a "compromise" - that's a hostage deal. HEGSETH: | just think it's time for diplomacy. REPORTER: Diplomacy is great when both sides want peace. But when one side just wants a "pause" to recharge, that's not diplomacy - that's setting up for the next invasion. HEGSETH: So you're saying no negotiations, just endless war? REPORTER: No, I'm saying that a peace agreement where only one side makes sacrifices is not peace - that's a better saying for surrender.

Hegseth did not say why he was firing the judge advocates general.

“First of all, you’ve got to fire the chairman of the Joint Chiefs,” #PeteHegseth said in a [TV] appearance…in Nov. He added that any general involved with #DEI efforts should be fired. “Either you’re in for warfighting, & that’s it,” he said. “That’s the only litmus test we care about.”

On Hegseth’s first day at the #Pentagon, however, he stood next to General Brown, who became chairman in Oct 2023, & said he looked forward to working w/him.

Leaving aside how awful it is for the USA that #PeteHegseth has been confirmed, it's probably going to destroy Pete Hegseth, right? He's been put into an incredibly stressful job which he can't do, where he'll be surrounded by people who hate, fear and distrust him, and he has very little self-control and serious substance abuse issues.

Hey, Hegseth!

Nothing says “credible” like a book entitled The War on Warriors receiving a thumbs-up rating from a FIVE-TIME DRAFT DODGER who mocks POWs, insults Gold Star families, and calls our war dead “suckers” and “losers.”

The POTUS-elect who nominated you for secretary of defense is just one sex offender endorsing another. Is that some twisted version of “professional courtesy?” You’re both racist, bigoted, misogynist assholes — like your MAGA supporters.

When Timothy Snyder speaks, I listen. Today, he outlines how Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth represents 13 steps to national destruction. Here's the posting in toto:

"1. Pete Hegseth, Trump's nominee for secretary of defense, has no qualifications for the job. He has never run a large organization and has no national security expertise."

The Guardian doing a pretty good job here:

“Democracy, it’s everywhere, right?” said Hegseth in a May 2024 interview, railing against secular public education and teachers’ apparent obsession with the idea of democracy. “Democracy, democracy, defend the democracy. Do you know what our founders did not want us to be? A democracy.”

Jeff Sharlet on mainstream media's negligence in covering Hegseth's nomination:

"I began my journalism career covering courts-martial in San Diego, and I’ve reported on Christian nationalism within the armed forces. But I’m not a military reporter. This isn’t my beat. This isn’t my story. But I can read. And that’s where I start, when I want to understand the thinking of someone who’s written—or, who knows, put their name on the cover of—a book. [The book referred to here is The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free] The Times quotes one of the book’s first pages, too, and then none of the jaw-dropping, civil war fantasy rhetoric that fills what follows. The Washington Post quotes nothing. CNN wonders whether he has sufficient administrative experience. (Is 'none' sufficient?) Politico worries what the lobbyists will think."

Meet Pete Hegseth, the Man Who Will Lead the Entire US Military — A Man Deemed an 'Extremist' by the US Military

On Tuesday, Trump announced Fox News talking head Pete Hegseth as his new secretary of defense. The guy in the image above. It's not a parody; it's from the cover of his 2020 book, American Crusade.

"In 2018, Hegseth’s remarks during a speech in Israel included references to a 'miracle' that would allow for the re-establishment of the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount—a sacred site for both Muslims and Jews. This sentiment aligns with a faction of Christian Zionist thought that envisions the fulfilment of Biblical prophecy through the destruction of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem to make way for a third Jewish Temple. The ideology has been criticised as an extreme apocalyptic fantasy that endangers the fragile religious dynamics in the region and underpins an acceptance of reported Israeli human rights violations."

"Last year, the magazine Nashville Christian Family ran a profile of Hegseth, in which he mentioned being a member of a 'Bible and book study' that focused on the book My Life for Yours by Doug Wilson, the 71-year-old unofficial patriarch of the TheoBros. Patriarch is the right word: When I interviewed Wilson a few months ago, he said that he, like many other TheoBros, believes women never should have been given the right to vote."

"Hegseth’s tattoos, political views and religious affiliation and background are consistent with an extreme strain of Christian nationalism, according to Matthew Taylor, a scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, & Jewish Studies. Specifically, he appears to be belong to a fringe denomination known as Reformed Reconstructionism, which believes in applying biblical Christian law to society, exclusively male leadership, and actively preparing the world for the prophesied return of Jesus."

The Christian tattoos of Pete Hegseth, Trump defense nominee – The Forward

Pete Hegseth, nominated to lead the Defense Department, has two tattoos of Crusades-era symbols that have been used by far-right groups.
The Forward
#trump #uspol #christiannationalism #hegseth #petehegseth

On Pete Hegseth's tattoos:

"Deus vult is the Latin for 'God wills it.' During the First Crusade, it was raised as a battle cry. This is its univocal origin and context, and Hegseth knows it well: In American Crusade, he refers to it as 'the rallying cry of Christian knights as they marched to Jerusalem,' a summons to 'followers of Christ to take up the sword in defense of their faith, their families, and their freedom.' It provides the last words in American Crusade: 'See you on the battlefield. Together, with God’s help, we will save America. Deus vult!' And have I mentioned that his book is titled American Crusade?"

Not even Republican senators could hide their surprise when learning that Trump had nominated #PeteHegseth as Secretary of Defense

“Wow,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski. She recovered quickly, saying, “I’m just surprised, because the names that I’ve heard for Secretary of Defense have not included him.”

”Really?” asked Sen. Tommy Tuberville. “I’d have to think about it.”

Putting aside the laughable idea of Tuberville actually thinking about anything, #Hegseth’s nomination is sending shockwaves through Washington
