*** US Secretary of War Crimes Delivers Another Boring, Unimaginative Speech ***

The most underqualified Secretary of Defense in US history, a pro-Kremlin alcoholic who was accused of paying $50,000 to a woman he sexually assaulted in 2017, launched a full-throated attack on post-Cold War US foreign policy, castigating former presidents and generals by name while declaring the age of American "utopian idealism" over.

US Secretary of War Crimes Pete "Hic!" Hegseth, mired in an idiotic OPSEC imbroglio of his own making ("Signalgate") and accused of ordering the murder of defenseless alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean Sea, bleated talking points to a bored audience at the annual Reagan Defense Forum. The heavily-tattooed misogynist outlined a new military focus on the Western Hemisphere, demanded allies fend for themselves, and emphasized taking a more conciliatory approach to China's armed forces. In essence this lickspittle conceded that Dummkopf Trumpf will let Beijing eclipse US military hegemony in the Pacific, therefore potentially abandoning allies like Taiwan, South Korea, or Japan.

The former second-rate weekend TV tumor for Faux News mindlessly parroted the scrambled ideas released in the new National Security Strategy.

"Out with idealistic utopianism," Hegseth brayed. "In with hard-nosed realism."

The white supremacist, called an "abuser of women" by his own mother, only made a passing reference to Russia, ignoring the staggering amount of lives lost on both sides, the dangers of radiation leaks from Chernobyl caused by Russian attacks, or the Trumpf junta's failed peace plans which worked in the Kremlin's favor.

The chisel-chinned sycophant's screed revealed the nefarious Trumpf junta is moving toward a policy that recognizes zones of influence by the great powers and will ignore war crimes committed by Russia and Israel, as well as Chinese internal oppression of Uighurs, Tibetans, Falon Gong members, and Honk Kongese democracy advocates, while divvying up the world's natural resources, like oil or rare earths.

This can be described as an ethnic conflict between Pashtuns (Afghanistan) and Punjabis (Pakistan). The Pakistanis have nukes and a modern air force, so the Afghans will engage in irregular warfare, honed by decades of experience. The Taliban fighters will score mass casualty events against the Pakistanis in the border regions. The Pakistanis are a proud people and do not want to suffer military humiliations with eternal nemesis India watching.

One of the groups to monitor in this mess is the powerful, drug smuggling Haqqani Network (HQN) who are Pashtuns and operate on both sides of the border, as well as Salafist groups within Pakistan who dislike the corruption of the Islamabad government, like the TTP or Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.

The Afghan Taliban can also reach out to the anti-Punjab Balochs to conduct attacks in southern Pakistan.

I'm 100% positive I would not want to be a government worker in today's work place.

I'm glad I'm retired, but I feel awful for the younger folks who had aspirations to do good deeds for the American people through our once effective civil service: NWS, NOAA, PHS, NASA, DOE, FBI, etc etc.

@2 Hi Zed: Trumpf junta members are all pigs, shamelessly gorging themselves at the trough of hard earned American taxpayer money, led by a selfish senile superrich swineherd.

And on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, another day that will live in infamy (like today), 77,302,580 Americans (49.8% of eligible voters), idiotically propelled this oligarchic racist warmongering fascist junta into power which is destroying the quality-of-life of everyday Americans day in and day out.

The Dept of Education ordered a significant portion of staffers in the Office for Civil Rights to come back later this month. In the "return to duty" directive, officials acknowledged they're facing a sizable caseload of civil rights complaints, and they underscored a need to utilize every resource at the government's disposal to work through them. The agency said the request applies to roughly 250 workers who've been on administrative leave for months amid legal challenges to their March firings. A spokesperson bleated there still aren't any plans to fully rehire those workers permanently.

At a conference of educators earlier this year, selfish superrich good-for-nothing geriatric Linda McMahon (76) referred to AI (Artificial Intelligence) as A.1. steak sauce.
