So by “the top people in the Pentagon” he means … not a specific General, and the comments were “not directed specifically at them” but rather at the Millitary-Industrial Complex. As distinct from … the administration and its lobbyist appointees?
Who they hell do they even think they’re throwing under the bus here?
I’m having trouble understanding what Trump is trying to do here, aside from this being yet another monkey-poo-flinging exercise to distract from 180K+ dead and counting, millions jobless, millions in danger of eviction, millions without health care. These “Pentagon leaders” are his subordinates, he is (God help us) Commander-in-Chief, after all, and they all answer to him. So he is, essentially, yelling at himself in the mirror.
On one hand the whole endless war thing hooked a few voters. On the other how is that ending the war(s) thingy going for us?
We’re negotiating with the Taliban- we haven’t included the Afghans, we pulled out of Putin’s Syria-he’s gotta keep that warm water port, Trump’s moving troops out of Germany to go to Poland-how much is that going to cost us, and just fuck Asia-even though we shouldn’t let China take over the world.
Seems Meadows is on “clean-up” detail today - pushing the broom after the orange Elephant wandered around over the weekend …
wonder if he will venture into the Vaccine BS that Trump spewed about …
There is this other news that came out today - when you see it - you have to ask - would you trust your life or a loved one’s life to anything done by this administration - ESPECIALLY anything done in haste with a high chance that many corners were cut & evaluations were not fully completed - and some things might have been done carelessly
… if you can’t even get a Rose Garden together properly …
So, no one explained that defense contractors helped put fat boy in office? Or, that their employees tend to vote Republican? Talk about a frantic, cornered rat.
I hate to admit this, but the President is partially right on this one. The amoral mercenary and weapons of mass death industry is out of control. They need a war every 3-5 years to deplete stock and to test their capacity to kill, maime and destroy on real people. Rinse-wash-repeat.
The mercenary companies are a revolving door for dirty generals like Mike Flynn and John Kelly and many others.
