I feel that Hegseth is a mixed bag. On one hand, he has done a lot to improve the military, refocusing it as a fighting force and ensuring that our warfighters are up to the job that, hopefully, they will never have to do. At the same time with basic things has fumbled the football. With Iran he needed to get in front of what we were doing and really explain it to the people. Instead he didnt and the IRGC got to execute a whole social media campaign against the US and that hit not only the US but the entire world.
There's plenty of explanation. The past 20 years of discourse is the explanation. When the President says 1776, that means go ahead and kill everyone that hates our country. And then the Retard Right decided to stand in solidarity with the communists for world peace because evidently they can't read between the lines and they have no concept of timing and risk.
Who cares what the world thinks of my country? It's the fucking IRGC and Democrats. Geography has gifted us an opportunity to remove them from history and we have an assignment from God to do so. I don't care what the rest of the world thinks. It will thank us later.
This is exactly the kind of elitist cultural rot we're trying to shun from our national identity with this war.
The IRGC is a communist-allied Christian-killing regime getting in the way of important trade routes. Now their military is gone and the only leverage they have left is to use their civilians as meat shields and play pirate against civilian vessels. What's the problem? Compare this and Venezuela to FDR's wars which were an absolute shitshow.
This was a success in the same way that buying BTC at $30k is a success. If I buy at $30k and it dips to $20k, it's still the right decision. Doubling down would be an even better decision.
