Every time I see Hegseths face I am glad it is not Matthew Miller
He has the face of a potato.

"We're fighting religious fanatics who seek a nuclear capability in order for some religious Armageddon"
I'm not fron usa but did he literally said that?
Itβs paraphrased, but yes, he said that.
never attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by malice.
*malice **stupidity
(It was intentional...!)
lol. ok
Tbf it's not exactly same as US. Iran is using those weapons in self-defense instead of invading random countries an ocean + sea + two geographic regions away.
Also, we're apparently low on munitions, so we're failing at even spending our money on that.
No wonder the Pentagon hasn't passed an audit in a decade or something!
Actually the reason is the US uses 3M$ anti-missile missiles to intercept 20k$ drones. It was obvious from the start they would run out of them way while Iran would keep producing more of their drones (plus the ones they get from Russia).
It's quite unbelievable they the US were so confident in their capabilities they didn't bother to learn anything from the war in Ukraine, where swarms of cheap drones have replaced advanced but costly missiles for years now.
So the money may be genuinely used on weapons (and well, lobsters and steaksβ¦). It's just spent stupid.
This is nonsense.
Potatoes have an INCREDIBLE amount of self-awareness for something without a nervous system.
Anything with that many eyes is definitely self-aware!
These are truly times when the USA citizens should learn some tricks of government management from the France.
You mean they should let somebody crown himself as emperor and start a land war in Asia?
Yeah everyone here likes to bring up guillotines and the French Revolution, but it's like none of them know what happened after.
Never. Get involved in a land war in Asia!
Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line
Unless you're already Asian, then fill your boots!
islamic republic of iran, is largely ther because of USA/UK when they installed the shah.
"Iran is run by theocratic psychopaths who only understand the language of violence!"
And they marry children instead of just molesting them like an upstanding Christian!
Oh no Americans marry their children too.
Between 2000 and 2021, some 315,000Β minorswere legally married in the United States.[23]Β The vast majority of child marriages (some 86%) were between a minor girl and an adult man.

Uh, I believe the term is "underage women" not children or girls or minors. /s
Child marriage is legal in most US states.
The Venn diagram of the states where you can marry a child and those where Trump won is a circle.Β

Every accusation a confession.
The Christian right?
Why he gotta speak ill of the potato
Coulda funded the healthcare subsidies twice over for the 200b they're asking for
Easily cover half of the student loan forgiveness plans that would have been in place for 1-3 decades vs a few months of expenses...
Th government is using health care to force people to continue working. They know they can fund it. They also know if healthcare becomes free in the US, there are lots of people who can just stop working. If they made healthcare free I'd likely be able to stop working by age 45
They could fund a public healthcare system twice over with the money the federal government is already spending providing piece meal health care through several inefficient programs. The war crime fund could solve the housing problem though.

No, he just doesnβt count you as people.
I seriously doubt he considers Iranian people people either, maybe he's talking about rich Iranians? Maybe Iran isn't as good at pandering to the wealthy as the US is?
