I think Pete was being pragmatic or blisteringly obvious for everyone. He may want to be a little more nuanced in his public assessment, but his honesty is refreshing and it’s the damn truth. To believe otherwise is totally not looking at reality. Also, if we/USA walk away from Ukraine, Putin will own the whole damn country. IMO
They are trying to light a fire under the Euro’s butts to get this done, instead of lollygagging like they have for the last four years.
That's Europe's problem. Not ours.
Unless, Hegseth was acting under express instructions of the President.…
Which would be a rookie mistake by the president…
Unless the president is taking these issues off the table because…
He has already cut a deal with Putin by the terms of which there will be no US troops and no NATO.
Unless, he wants to forestall Ukraine and Europe from staking out positions that will interfere with his deal or, at least interfere with his intended negotiating path.
It’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t. This administration so far has been one of the most open and transparent ones ever assembled. Honesty and candor are deep set, but also subject to condemnation from either Democrats or RINOs - and let’s not forget the legacy media of whom MAGA made the biggest fools.
We need to get out of NATO. Europe is gone. We are defending what will soon be Nazi regimes.. No free speech, no political recourse. We think the Russians are bad? Germans are arresting their citizens for posting cartoons online.
Between Hegseth and Vance, we’re getting a bold strong start in this term.
Pete get the military in shape,leave the politics to the President,your not on Fox and Friends anymore
