Wasn't sure whether to put this in the Ukraine thread or here, but this seems very unusual and somewhat suspicious. It might have something to do with NATO ramping up it's rhetoric towards Russia (threatening to start shooting down anything Russian that invades members airspace). On the other hand, I find the timing suspicious what with the looming (and quite possible) government shut down, I don't really trust anything that Trump may be planning to do with the military.

“They got the universal fascist playbook and they’re running it step by step…”

Only upshot is that yes-men generally make for poor leadership and will cripple the effectiveness of the US military.

hegseth already did that, this makes it harder to come back from that. The question is: who is going to take advantage.
