#Hegseth added #Ukraine won’t enter #NATO or recover its lost territory, and no #US troops will be in the no-man’s land guarding it from #Russia, only Europeans, who will not be covered by NATO’s Article 5 mutual defence pact. Moreover, #Europe will pay most to rearm and rebuild Ukraine, while the US gets access to its rare earth and mineral rights for any aid provided to #Kyiv Some still might have seen this all as a joke.

At the White House on Thursday, #Hegseth and #Trump admitted that U.S. troops have been deployed to the Panama Canal.

“We’re taking back the canal. China’s had too much influence.... We along with Panama are pushing them out” Hegseth said to Trump at a Cabinet meeting held in front of the press, adding that after his trip to the country earlier this week, President José Raúl Mulino spoke positively of partnering with U.S. troops to get “the Communist Chinese out.”

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.
An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

"U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee, was fired over the weekend by the Trump administration, U.S. officials said Monday."

The decision was made last week by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Chatfield is the third top female officer to be fired since Trump took office.

Chatfield was on a list of senior military officers targeted as “woke” by the conservative American Accountability Foundation, which sent a letter to Hegseth saying that “purging the woke from the military is imperative.” They complained in the letter to Hegseth that those responsible for DEI policies “must be dismissed,” adding that military leaders should be focused on cultivating lethality, not on fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in the ranks.

Two conflicting headlines on consecutive days, so Trump could be lying? Well I never… Who would’ve thought a convicted felon would do something like that…

What happened to "We could probably cut our defense budget in half"?

#Brussels police arrest #Rubio security detail supervisor after fight - Washington Examiner #Hegseth #AlcoholicAdmin

"Speaking on condition of anonymity, two sources with direct knowledge of the situation told the Washington Examiner that the supervising agent in question was behaving erratically and became irate when hotel staff refused to re-open the bar beyond its normal opening hours. When staff, including the night manager, attempted to persuade the agent to return to his room, the agent became physically aggressive. Police were then called. The agent then engaged in an altercation with numerous police officers, leading to his arrest."
