It is horrific that Trump and Pete Hogsex brag about extrajudicial killings, murder, war crimes in the Caribbean and the Pacific. It was a test. We failed to stop them.

Now Hogsex & our military are committing worse war crimes in the Middle East & the Indian ocean because we did not stop them.

We the People have the right to know what the rules of engagement are in Iran & now a Middle East-wide war. We are a civilian controlled military. They serve us. Congress respresents us, not Pete Hogsex, Secretary of Defense.

Congress needs explicit answers NOW, not months later. What are they?

I am old enough to remember when we condemned Russia & other cruel nations for bombing hospitals, schools, apartments killing civilian to terrorize the country.

Now, under Pete Hogsex & our compromised military, the US is now doing the same, 14 hospitals and three schools already in Iran & Lebanon.

This all has the high potential of turning into World War III, especially if Europe joins Ukraine in resisting Putin. We are putting all of our assets in the Pacific at risk by concentrating & using up all of our assets & resources in the Middle East. So let's play around and attack more countries.

The military will hold?
This is a perfect example that we've lost the military already. These are war crimes. Regardless of civilian direction to hit these hospitals, some military commander and troops are executing it. They are complicit and following illegal orders. Call in Hegseth immediately.

WHO Calls For The Protection Of Health Care Facilities Amid U.S. And Israeli Strikes In Iran

Whenever you hear Pete Hogsex talk about getting rid of DEI & politically correct rules of engagement, this is what he's talking about. We are committing war crimes by bombing hospitals and Healthcare centers. Iran and Lebanon.

โ€œWHO has verified 13 attacks on health care in Iran, 1 in Lebanon.โ€

And flags our European allies. Honor and respect our allies. Honor our treaty obligations. Honor those who protect democracy. Don't let them divide and conquer.

Hungary is a Russian proxy. Hungary and Orban are the wrench in NATO's gears. Nothing accidental about any of this.

It would be interesting to have accurate numbers about how many countries are already involved in this Middle East-wide war that is spreading outside the region & enveloping other nations. Vulnerable embassies, assets and personnel of our allies, CIA activities, protests, attacks by proxies or Iran.

โ€˜Dishearteningโ€™: US justice department slashes funding to programs combating child sex trafficking Prosecutors say cuts to funding and training limits their ability to bring child predators to justice

Such hypocrites. Theyโ€™re conspiring to traffic children for sex as far as Iโ€™m concerned. It didnโ€™t stop when Epstein died. DOJ has decimated every program to prevent/prosecute/recover from child sex trafficking in the last year. Republicans didnโ€™t blink an eye. What could possibly be more important?

Well I know the last place we can trust, our own government. Less than zero credibility, negative credibility.

I've heard many stories like this. Ukraine has one of the most professional competent armies out there. All the more reason for Europe to quickly partner.

My wife and I have supported Ukraine from the day the war started. We contribute to United 24 every month out of our SS. Ukrainian neighbors.

What was that Pete Hogsex said about there will be "no chaos or spread of the war?"

Anyone who knows anything knows that when you create a Middle Eastwide war every embassy in the world is at risk. Now we have Pakistan in the mix. Pakistan & Afghanistan are going after each other at the same time.

New satellite images from several key military bases in the Arabian Peninsula suggest Iran is seeking to degrade air defenses by destroying US-made radars that detect incoming missiles and drones.

The radar system for an American THAAD missile battery in Jordan was struck and apparently destroyed.

Only 20 years old and Barron has already learned how to make money off of War and dead American soldiers.

Are you surprised. They put a 22-year-old in charge of counterterrorism. The only thing on his resume is that he had mowed lawns.

Hilarious. The president just kicked him off the ticket and he thinks he has the power to overturn the filibuster rule in the Senate that he's running for, was running for. Can't make it up.

Paxton's arrogance knows no bounds. Shows what he would be like if he were elected.
