HOLY SMOKES: Pete Hegseth just EXPOSED our supposed “Allies” to their face for failing Trump’s true test of Loyalty “and too many failed”
 
“Too many of our allies said no or tried to drown us in arcane legal debates, or criticized us publicly”
KEEP EXPOSING THEM 👏
 
June 18, 2026
 
TRANSCRIPT BEGINS~~~

Pete Hegseth,  Secretary of War: As President Trump put it, and rightfully so, he gave our allies a test - to support America when we asked for their help - and too many failed it.
 
The United States has defended Europe for generations, and the President said - all he said is that our jets would need to take off from bases in Europe or our ships from ports to strike targets in the Middle East, Iranian targets that threatened European interests even more directly than they threaten us.

But too many of our allies said, 'No,' or tried to drown us in arcane legal debates, or publicly criticized us for doing what they aren't prepared or able to do themselves. It was shameful.
 
These allies, they put America's sons and daughters, our sons and daughters, at risk by denying them the predictable access basing and overflight that never should have been in question at all. In some cases we had to shift capabilities from one country to another out of NATO allied countries altogether.

Bring them home.

Now that we have put Israel on notice that we are no longer fighting their wars for them, Europe should be next.

Bring the troops home
Tear down the bases
Start building fortress America
Kick out all illegals and naturalized citizens with continued allegiances
Start building drones and nukes as a deterrent against all aggression.
Seek tentative/situational alliances with ALL countries on earth.
Make peace with the countries who we are currently at war with
Cut the military budget in half.

AMERICA FIRST

Trump, don’t make me fall in love with you all over again.

The rule of streets applies here....
The rule of streets...
When you find yourself on a one way street, eventually one of 2 things is going to happen.
Either,
A) It turns into a two way street, or
B) It comes to a sudden abrupt end....

He’s not wrong. That pack of surrender monkeys did nothing to support us. Eff them and all those Muslim monsters that are invading them.

Do you think they can bring our troops home before Europe provokes a war with Russia?

Provoke a war with a country they’re all buying their energy from?

In violation of sanctions in some cases.

Snort.

Re: "Now that we have put Israel on notice that we are no longer fighting their wars for them..."

More than 50% of the air strikes on Iran were flown by Israeli planes and pilots.

Plus - Israel developed close to 100% of the intelligence on the time and location of the dozens of IRGC leaders who were executed by USA-Israel air strikes.

By the way - Egypt gets paid the same $3.8 billion (?) annual USA military subsidy that Israel gets each year.

This is a big part of why we have the peace deal that we have today.

I’ve said it before. America is leaving it’s abusive relationships. When that happens it takes bravery and even friends will abandon you.

It’s got to be just us. Poor and even homeless at first but more powerful in the end.

Everyone should be out in the garage making something my God anything. Just start making things.

I work in appliances in my garage while being a single, full time parent. I’m actually making a more reasonable clothes washer and dryer.

It might work, might not but we have to try to bring American products to market.

All of them are cowardly cucks. they refuse to fund their own defense to the small amount they agreed to and sit back and rely on the good old USA to bail their candy-asses out.

If we cut ties with Israel on aid and military, can Israel then do what it wants? I’m for ALL aid everywhere coming to an end.

No country should be able to do everything it wants.

What if it wanted to steal nuclear material from the Pennsylvania and start their own nuclear program?

What if they wanted to shoot the President while he was driving in Dallas?

What if they wanted to open fire on a US military sig-int vessel to stop it from picking up their war maneuvers?

What if they wanted to steal nuclear secrets and sell them to the U.S.S.R at the height of the cold war in exchange for the release of prisoners?

So...No, they can’t do WHATEVER they want but we would care significantly less about what they do.
