U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

    This is beyond appalling. Any other people would be immediately fired and put on trial. I cannot believe these chucklefucks are the ones in charge of our government.

    I can’t be the only one thinking they did this on purpose to put added pressure on Europe? Can’t believe anything these days.

    If you think of the government like a restaurant, it makes more sense. Pretty much every restaurant has to deal with vermin, to varying degrees. Most of the time, the restaurant keeps it under control through regular cleaning, but you still see a roach every now and then. Maybe even a rat. So you set traps and you kill the fuckers. If it gets too bad, you hire a professional to come in and exterminate. If you’re diligent, the rats and roaches are extremely rare, your food is protected, and the customers never see vermin. But if you walk into a restaurant and see a rat crawling across the dessert display in broad daylight, that restaurant has a HUGE fucking problem. They have an infestation. The rats are eating well, and have become unafraid of being seen.

    These monumental fuck-ups like Pete Hegseth are vermin. They are rats and roaches that are brazenly crawling all over the tables, out in the open in broad daylight. If this is what we the customers see, then what’s behind the walls and in the kitchen and in the dry goods storage is a thousand times worse. The American restaurant is infested. It needs to be tented and fumigated.

    “i just hate bailing out europe again”

    Dense motherfucker doesn’t know where his bread is buttered. Status of dollar as global reserve currency hinges on free maritime trade, on top of sheer amount of oil that passes through that place and american sensitivity to energy prices

    Not to mention that they’re cause of greater share of instability in the region

    Set your timer folks. In order to bury this they just need to come up with something stupid to redirect everyone’s attention. Suddenly, Trump challenges Biden to a boxing match in three days! Oohs and ahhs as this gets swept under the rug. Nothing to see or report here.

      They have long since moved past the point where they feel the need to bury anything. They have learnt that they can do absolutely anything without facing any consequences, either legal or political. They will laugh in your face about it.

      Bury this?

      OH my sweet summer child.

      Fox news will pump in constantly how the liberal media hacked a classified government communications channel to sabotage our brave men in uniform.

    I’m not even surprised. And anyone calling for anything to be done still doesn’t get the fact that they literally don’t give a fick what you think.

    It’s sickening how they genuinely think they’re bailing Europe out and deserve compensation for it, when they themselves are a big part of why there’s so much instability in the region to begin with.

    So if the leaks are accurate and sincere, they killed people including children in Yemen known it has no long term value just to look cool ?
