Pete Hegseth today "We negotiate with bombs."

He believed himself manly when he said:

“The air campaign that we’ve conducted, that Israel’s conducted alongside us, was one for the history books, truly.

And it’s because we have a president of the United States that, when he sends his warfighters out to fight, he unties their hands to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one.

And that’s why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs.”

It sounds like something an unintelligent child would say. Every time he gets in front of the camera it’s the same thing

but thanks to the evil republican party, the USA is now a terrorist state. A government that terrorizes its own citizens and people around the globe. Whether this failed state can fix itself is an open question.

bloodthirsty dry-drunk to command the military to break code of warring which will also subject our military to the same barbarity in return.

Kegsbreath's wife probably crosstitched a "Fuck the Geneva Conventions" sampler for him.

And if they happen to blow up an elementary school near a US military base, I don't want you pretending this isn't something you and Bibi weren't perfectly comfortable with a couple weeks ago.
