      Hard to believe that two military giants of their stature could make such a mistake.

      Poland is what’s in the script later on. When Trump slithers out of NATO and Putin joins Trump’s Board of Peace. Such things confuse a simpleton like Hegseth.

      Just another day of running international relations like a chaotic reality TV shoe

      This was “just” troop deployments, but it’s going to happen, isn’t it?

      They’re going to drop bombs on the wrong country and then try to act like that’s what they meant to do all along.

      If you’re suffering from substance abuse and erectile dysfunction ask your doctor if Secretary of War is for you.

      In Hegseth defense, how the Hell is anybody supposed to keep track of what ‘policy’ Trump is espousing this week?

      And especially while drinking copious quantities of liquor… he’s only human.

      Hey knucklehead, why’d ya stop the troops goin to Poland? (SLAP)

      Ain’t we trying to leave NATO, Moe?

      Pay attention and think what I’m thinking

      I’m trying to think but nuttin’s happening, nyuk nyuk nyuk

      Is it disturbing to anyone else that he’s trying to spread his extreme right wing ideology to other countries?

      >During the conversation, Trump also told Hegseth that the U.S. shouldn’t treat Poland poorly, given its close ties to the White House.

      Apparently, Poland paid Trump a bunch of cash, or they have blackmail material they’re hanging over his head.

      Perhaps the Secretary was sent the message: Send troops to *Polish Military Bases* and read it as instructions to clean, buff, and polish the facilities. It could happen, especially after polishing off a few brewskis.

      When you have the dumbest mf’er on planet earth choosing equally dumb cabinet picks what do you expect

      Reminder that Daily Beast is sensationalist trash. Report this bullshit.

    18. tootapple on

      Lol…I’m amazed none of these people ever went after Trump the way he goes after them

      Who knew hiring a completely unqualified Secretary of Defense like Kegsbreath could lead to something like this.

      It was never about “DEI,” the right just wants to hire the most unqualified of their own as long as they’re loyal. And the corruption continues.

      Why are military decisions being made according to who Trump is mad at on any given day? NO MILITARY PERSON should ever have to put his/her life at risk because of a crazy man’s temper tantrums.

      Luckily Donald is enamored with Pete’s TV appearance and that’s priority number 1.

      Prob watches him with the sound off.

      Thinks he’s doing great and thinks the two of them together know more than any career officers, battle tested professionals or specialized subject matter experts.

      “Iran won’t close the strait”.

      That’s what happens when we have a numb nut surrounded by morons running our country …

    28. wolfgang187 on

      I still can’t believe a drunken news anchor whos never once served is the Secretary of fucking War

    29. Traditional-Hat-952 on

      Dear Trump, you’re the fucking President of the United States. This war was your decision.

      Poland should look into bringing in some drone trainers from Ukraine and spend money to become the drone training grounds for NATO and the west.

      They are perfectly positioned for it. They have proximity to Ukraine. They have maintained mostly good relations with Ukraine throughout the conflict and are an upcoming European military power.

      Ukraine has more practical knowledge and experience in drone warfare. They have incorporated it as another factor in combined arms maneuvers.

      This would be a mutually beneficial relationship.

    33. onepinksheep on

      The fact that they used the term “warfighters” when referring to soldiers tells you a lot about their priorities. I’m not sure if the term came from the article’s author or was from this pedocratic administration, but it certainly sounds like something that DUI hire, Kegsbreath, would say.

    34. Tart-Pomgranate5743 on

      Must’ve been Hegseth’s beer goggles, mixing up the countries on the map…

    36. IJourden on

      This post made me realize that when I was a kid growing up, “dumb Polish people” jokes were all the rage.

      In the last 20 years they seem to have disappeared almost entirely, because another country has risen to the top in being the target for those jokes.

      Only hires the best people.

      Moron.

      If you still support this guy, you’re the absolute rock bottom. You’re human tilapia.

      In fairness to Pistol Pete, you try drinking a fifth of Kentucky Whiskey and try to remember which country licked the orange ass and which told him to fawkoff. They share a border, close enough.

      Poland, Germany, Greenland, and Iran really do sound alike and all four names have the same number of letters if you are illiterate.

      Everyone in this administration should be wearing those “I’m With Stupid ->” t shirts.

    42. zaxdaman on

      To be fair Trump drew the lines with a sharpie and Hegseth read those same lines after half a bottle of tequila. Easy mistake.

      Dear Donald Trump,

      You’re dying. You’re an insecure, elderly narcissist trying to find immortality through chaos. As soon as you pass, which will be sooner than later (because you’re old and you’re dying), the world will immediately begin to forget you. Your body might still be warm and already, people will be undoing everything you’ve done. Your legacy across the globe will be that of a fragile, spoiled clown. Hitler was an artist. Hitler accomplished his goals before he died. All you did was try really hard to be just like him — and fail miserably. Hitler was an absolute piece of shit. But to adore Hitler, and mimic him with enthusiasm — what does that make *you*? A sad, desperate, pathetic *wannabe* piece of shit? YES!!! That’s what you are. That’s what you’ve always been. And I *promise* you that’s exactly how you will be remembered for the rest of recorded history.

      Signed,

      Everyone who isn’t completely fucking braindead.

      John Bolton, Trump’s former National Security Advisor, said Trump thought Finland was part of Russia. But he’s a very stable genius.

      I don’t understand how Trump gets up in the morning or how the US is not falling apart with these loons in the Whitehouse. They belong in an insane asylum.
