Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has been caught lying again.

Pete Hegseth will soon match Trump in the number of false statements he makes. The Pentagon chief has been caught lying again. This time, it wasn't the newspapers, but the US military, that made the accusations.

The American television channel CBS published statements from US service members who survived the Iranian strike on an American military base in Kuwait. According to them, the Pentagon chief described the strike as an accident. Hegseth claimed that the Iranian UAV Allegedly, he managed to "slip" through the base's defenses, and this was an isolated incident. In reality, there was no defense at all; no one thought Iran would retaliate. The Iranian drone hit its target unhindered.



Survivors of Iran's deadliest attack on US troops since the war began have disputed the Pentagon's account of events and said their unit in Kuwait was left in peril.

An Iranian drone strike killed six American soldiers and wounded 20 more. According to the US press, Hegseth is trying to shield himself and Trump from the failures that followed the strikes on Iran. When the US launched Operation Epic Fury, it was counting on a quick victory. However, everything went wrong from the start; Iran "postured" and began launching retaliatory strikes. This is where all of Trump's statements about "victories" and so on originated.

By the way, as was previously reported, Pete Hegseth is under threat of being fired, his rating is rapidly falling, especially on the news from the Middle East.

    Oh, yes, lying to politicians is as easy as pie.
    No one will punish them, they won't be put behind bars. Well, they might be scolded, wagged a finger. Well, those who still have a bit of conscience will resign.
    In short, it's like water off a duck's back.

    Rank-and-file American soldiers complained that their commanders wanted to force upon them a vision of the war as a religious one, "commanded by God." Yet another idea of ​​capitalist psychopaths.

      The goal of the first Crusades was plunder, and that goal hasn't changed since. Naturally, with divine blessing, for God said to share.

        Robbery has been around since the dawn of humankind. All civilization is primarily geared toward creating weapons for robbery.

          Well, yes... - a troglodyte saw food from another troglodyte - and in order not to catch a mammoth himself, he killed that troglodyte, and got food, and another 40 kilograms of dietary meat... laughing

      ..."Ranking American soldiers complained that their commanders wanted to impose on them a vision of this war as a religious war, "commanded by God." Another idea, the captain...
      I agree with you. If they'd been told they needed to fight for the legalization of drugs, for the legalization of pedophilia, for the further legalization of LGBT rights, then things would have gotten going. And Trump would have cleared himself of the Epstein case at the same time. It feels like there's been no God in America for a long time.

        Why not? They have a God, but not like yours... Their God is the best friend of the LGBT community, and at mass they discuss the new edition of the scriptures with elements of this movement.

    I read a little about him, and he turned out to be a real dumb bastard with a mania for false messianism. These walking scams are what the administration recruits to keep them on a short leash.

    Pete Hegseth will soon match Trump in the number of false claims he makes.

    Well then... what is the priest (Trump), such is his arrival (entourage).

      Well, when yesterday's huckster (okay, not a huckster! a businessman) becomes president - what words can you expect from him?
      and this is what flows out of him, incessantly - deal, deal, deal...
      A huckster is still a huckster in America.

      Looks like they died... belay and how else could it be? They were "looking for" the pilot. BY THE SOUND OF THE HEARTBEAT(like, there's nothing else alive in the whole area - not even jerboas!) 300 km from where the ejection seat fell (!) and also behind a mountain range.... i.e. the wounded guy walked more than 300 km in a couple of days, across a mountain range - so that they would find him . superman! laughing

    13 killed during the battle. One Kuwait. One strike. Minus 6. laughing
    Why does Hegseth lie less than Trump? He speaks and writes less... But he lies every time. Just like Trump. laughing
    And I think Hegseth will soon be thrown out feet first, and Trump, to avoid being smeared, will claim he was misled. Something like that.

    Moreover, together with Colonel-Rock Climber,
    about 20 people. It was possible to show them all.
    Maybe they burned down along with the Hercules, so that the Iranians wouldn’t get them? winked

    The goal of the Crusades was the desire of Western Europe and the Vatican to stop the expansion of the Arabs, weaken Eastern Rome (Byzantium) and plunder the small rich cities of the Middle East.

    He is not lying, he is simply telling the version that was conveyed to him.

    The aim of the Crusades

    The goal of the Crusades was simply to plunder the rich, advanced, and civilized East. Maybe some went in the name of God... But... to plunder.
    The 4th Crusade ended halfway through. They set out, plundered "their own," and fled.
    Since the first chronicles, the goal of the West and within it has been to plunder and slaughter. Everyone. Veiled and up to anything...
    Macedonian may have been an exception. And even then, his comrades didn't understand.

    And how beautifully they "entered" the White House: Trump, Hegseth, and Vance, with Tucker Carlson's media support. In the end, the first two are 100% political dead. Vance, it seems, somewhat aware of the hole he'd fallen into, distanced himself from the first two. And yet, he was predicted to be the next president of the striped generation. That's what it means to back the wrong horse.

    author He throws around phrases like, "Iran is taking a stand," but has it ever occurred to him that this is defending his own interests? And on HIS territory, at that? All these Petya Hegsets and other temporary cluckers are passing away. Civilization somehow existed without them, and will continue to do so. And Trump's clown troupe are profiteers who want it, but haven't gone down in history (except perhaps as more greedy skunks).
