Setting aside any "national security" concerns arising from letting The Atlantic's Russia-hoaxer Jeffrey Goldberg in on the Administration's Houthi-bombing call, I doubt that any creature more sentient than an amoeba can have been surprised to learn that US cabinet members "loathe" European "freeloading". If you're paying attention, you'll know that total contempt for the Euros appears to be entirely bipartisan. Are you shocked by Hegseth dismissing the Continent as "pathetic"? Well, you should have been around in the Obama era, when Victoria Nuland, She-Wolf of the Donbass, was rather pithier:
F**k the EU!
Or in the Bush era, when Ms Nuland's house-husband Robert Kagan summed up the relationship as:
Americans are from Mars, Europeans are from Venus.
Or a generation earlier, in the first Bush era. From General Norman Schwarzkopf, who certainly wore the uniform better than Admiral Levine, even if in terms of accomplishing strategic goals in the national interest it didn't ultimately make much difference:
Going to war without the French is like going hunting without an accordion.
I hasten to add that, when it comes to expeditionary soldiering in faraway countries of which we know little, I take neither side and nor should you. Pace Mr Kagan's butch-boy banter, US victory in war is slipping beyond living memory. Pace Stormin' Norman, American inability to use forty per cent of the planet's military budget to any strategic purpose is now so deeply ingrained that I'm seriously minded to try hunting with an accordion.

This is going to live in my mind right there with
Bonjour, you cheese eating surrender monkeys
Corrected! Your welcome.
The only way these things happen is if Politicians are getting their pocket lined.
The Bush’s were well healed by the Saudis, so we let the Saudi princes and their families fly away when every other plane in the US was grounded.
Money talks and patriots walk.
The only reason we have Muslims running huge areas of this country is that Oil exploration and refining has been stopped by Democrats and RINOs.
Trump needs to cut the ropes binding Oil in this country.
Gawd that’s a sobering read.
It is time to demonize Muslim men.
It was depressing but well worth the read. The excerpt does not do it justice.
I can only think that the elites are stupid people who have set up a system whose end is coming. They flail around in futile attempts to avert this end and not get caught.
Within the world, the scale of election cycles bother me. The game is whack-a-mole and the Commies just move their focus from country to country.
It makes me think that America, Liberty, does need a working CIA.
Why did we ever start bringing in people from countries we conduct war with or from? No Pakistanis, no Afghanis, no Somalis, Libyans, Iraqis, Iranians. We got a deal with Vietnamese and Filipinos. They have a work ethic, and HATE Islam.

Trump put a stop to it in his first administration but Biden reversed that order his first day.
I am hoping that Trump will or has re-issued that order.
“I am hoping that Trump will or has re-issued that order.”
Which will be reversed by some out-of-control commie judge.
