Why did they send out the treasury secretary to say this instead of someone from the newly renamed “Department of War”?

Why is a TREASURY secretary saying ANYTHING about international relations or wars or anything that isn’t about the treasury?

>Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday defended strikes on Iran’s infrastructure since the U.S. and Israel began their joint war against the country in February, saying “sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate.”
>His comments came just hours after President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that he was giving Iranian leadership 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz or risk U.S. military strikes that “will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!”
>Bessent defended Trump’s rhetoric, saying it’s “the only language the Iranians understand.”

I’m not American, can someone explain to me why the secretary of the treasury is talking about war? Seriously this guy should be talking about money, not justification of actions or war. Am I wrong or what.

No guys, he means like “You have to make something wet to dry it off”, you can’t *dry it* if it’s already dry. Has to get wet first.
So he’s saying that the US has to make things absolutely horribly shitty (‘escalate’) in order to fix it (‘de-escalate’).
Basically what we’ve already known – that MAGA creates problems then claims victory when they ‘solve’ it.

So they are just doing literal double speak now? No you see war is peace and love is hate, you wouldn’t get it.

Its like training a chimp to fire a machine gun. You know bad things are going to happen and lots of people will die but no one has any clue when and in which direction. Not even the Chimp with the hand on the trigger.

So they spent billions of American taxpayers money, killed people, fractured alliances further, and wrecked the global economy to try and get a deal that Trump tore up in the first place. Fucking unbelievable incompetence. This is historic idiocy.

People are rightfully laughing at this statement here in the comments, but this shit makes sense to MAGA. They eat up these stupid little idioms like they’re vitamins. You could explain to them how all of this is unnecessary whole providing evidence and proof, and they’ll go “we’ve been at war for 47 years” like a goddamn robot.
They will be a continuous threat to peace and safety for the rest of our lives. This doesn’t end with the midterms. Or the 2028 election. This goes on forever. The moment we get to comfortable, these fucking window lickers will pop back up.
