US defense head is eager to frame operation as a success – and slam journalists for not portraying it in a positive light
Pete Hegseth on Friday again claimed the US military campaign against Iran has been an unprecedented success, using a Pentagon press conference to accuse journalists of downplaying Washington’s supposed gains on the battlefield.
Speaking alongside the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, the US defense secretary claimed Iran had been left without a functioning air force, navy or missile defense network after 13 days of strikes, and said the combined US-Israeli air campaign had hit more than 15,000 targets since the war began.
“The United States is decimating the radical Iranian regime’s military in a way the world has never seen before,” Hegseth told reporters.
Positive about killing kids? In what twisted world? USA is sick bro.
I’m by no means a religious person but if the Pope told me the antichrist exists in Trump and his buddies, I’d believe it
Couldn’t dream of a better picture to illustrate this article
A success at …what? No goal was ever provided. He caused a lot of damage, killed a lot of people. Iranian conservative religious government (as well as USA’s) is still in power. Iranian nuclear capability (so far, none) hasn’t changed.
And a lot of us are still demanding release of ALL unredacted Trump-Epstein Files.
Success at distracting from the Epstein files
also from the shutdown right now, which MSM isnt talking about due to iran war.
Only corp-owned media. I still see a lot of people talking about the Epstein files and how this war is meant to distract from them.
IRAN doesnt need a efficient AF, they are having success with missiles, drones, or propaganda, and war of attrition(targeting oil producing countries and mining the strait of hormuz).
What a clown
This dude was literally a talking head on Fox News.
There’s no way there isn’t hours of footage of him being negative about literally everything Obama and Biden did.
This is exactly what I was thinking.
Has Iran even said thank you?
Did they even wear a suite?
Or even just a single room?
Yes… But it was tan.
Let’s hear it for America’s Suitehearts!
They need to send this dork back to the back-stage Mötley Crüe show he was birthed from.
Careful guys, Pete might be on here to downvote.
Unfair comparison, Zapp Brannigan is at least charming in his assholeness. Kegseth sets off my fight or fight instincts.
ZAPP is at least more competant than hesgeth when it really matters(defending earth from a major attack), pete is incompetent 100% of the time.
Oh my god.
I can’t unsee this now.
and said the combined US-Israeli air campaign had hit more than 15,000 targets since the war began.
How many of those targets were schools, hospitals, cultural heritage sites, bazaars, cafes, and/or residential districts?
They’re just calling where the bomb landed a target
“US Defence head…”
But they changed it to the Department of War, so that should read “US War head…”There should be a Department of dictatorship.
Then we would have a Dick head.
You show me a dictatorship and I’ll show you a boat filled with penis-shaped potatoes.
Not officially
“Kiff come hold up the flag, and wavy it a little for God’s sake”
“That young man fills me with hope. Plus some other emotions which are weird and deeply confusing.”
I thought it was Putin who sends wave after wave until the kill limit is reached.
Apparently, the US is preparing to send 5k marines to Iran.
I just do not believe draft dodgers should be allowed to send enlisted into warzones.
Ughh…
I liked it better when I didn’t know the names of various American ministers
I live here and wish I could forget.
Singling out CNN by name, Hegseth said: “The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.”
This fuckin guy just comes right out and says it…
wp:David Ellison#Personal life
(my bold)
Ellison and his father are close associates of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[6] His father’s first wife has described Larry as “an ardent Zionist” and he hosted the prime minister on his Hawaiian island in 2021.
Too big to fail is ALSO too big to care.
Also also too big to recover from a fall from a great height.
