For the first time since the US created an international group to coordinate military aid to Ukraine three years ago, America’s Pentagon chief will not be in attendance when more than 50 other defense leaders meet Wednesday, June 4. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who returned from a national security conference in Singapore on Sunday, will not arrive in Brussels until Wednesday evening, after the Ukraine Defense Contact Group’s meeting is over.
It is the latest in a series of steps that the US has taken to distance itself from the Ukraine war effort. And it comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s warning at the security conference last weekend that the US and others risk a dangerous double standard if their concentration on a potential conflict with China is done at the cost of abandoning Ukraine.
What an abysmal sack of shit.
The dude’s pretty obviously a Russian sympathizer.
Also he has white supremacist tattoos. Yes, really.
Snopes re: the tattoos if anyone’s interested
Just like his demented orange daddy. Well except for the tattoos.
Do you really want Hegseth getting involved? Man’s got the Sidam touch in a way even other members of the Trump team can’t help but notice.
Given the abysmal OpSec he’s demonstrated, seems like he’d be more harm than good.
A fair point. I’m hoping he’d just be passed out and some competent person could get Ukraine what they need.
Wouldn’t that be a Sadim touch?
That name sounds brown. Off to CECOT.
Too busy worrying about ThE dEi, I imagine.
I thought rumor was this guy was gonna be out on his ass. Oh well…
probably still a useful tool for putin. funny thing is putin also keeps his subornidates drunks for the purpose for easier control.
He is too busy renaming bases / ships after confederate generals, putting on makeup, chatting it up with his signal bros.
It’s always happy hour somewhere
Wouldn’t want the rest of the world to know he drinks more Putinka than the russian generals do.
putin is really upset at trump and hesgeth, of the recent drone attacks.
Bad hangover. Or being the true alcoholic and just making plans around his drinking.
If you’re a pro (which I am), you hydrate enough not to get a hangover, despite drinking like a champion.
Jug of pedialyte before passing out, if remembered. Wake up, can of monster or 2 and another jug of pedialyte.
his meaning of pedialyte= another pint of hard liquour.
Assuming a “jug” is 1 liter, and we’ll assume we’re drinking the 473 ml standard monsters.
Just between the monsters and pedialytes alone we’re looking at:
320mg of caffeine (about 3.5 cups of coffee)
~250g sugar (500% daily recommended, roughly equivalent to 63 sugar cubes)
~3660g sodium (~160% daily recommended, roughly equivalent to the sodium in 26 strips of bacon)
Add all the booze that made you drunk in the first place and I’d say you’re well on your way to punishing some serious porcelain.
1 glass of water and ¼ of a banana for every drink is my method.
Yea I’ve been hungover and called off work too petey.
Needs to block off more serious drinking time.
He’s too busy brainstorming new names for the USNS Harriet Tubman because her actions and beliefs that “slavery is bad, actually” apparently don’t align with the current administration’s ideology. But why am I’m repeating things y’all already know? Everyone’s on his Signal chat, of course.
hes brainstorming how to get drunk faster, because he built up a tolerance to heavy drinker.
Of course he does. They scheduled it on tequila thursdays, his religious pilgrimage to the bottom of a bottle comes first.
It being malicious seems like an obvious answer, but I seriously would not be surprised if it was a booking error or some sort of hubris that they’d wait for him.
So what. He’d bring nothing to the table but negativity.
Needs more time for make up…
Must be hung over
