#SecDef #PeteHegseth has reoriented the US #military to prioritize deterring #China’s seizure of #Taiwan & shoring up homeland #defense by “assuming risk” in #Europe & other parts of the world, acc/to a *secret* internal guidance memo that bears the fingerprints of the conservative #HeritageFoundation, including some passages that are nearly word-for-word duplications of text published by the think tank last year.

DUI hire<DEI hire.

It's unimaginable ( except it isn't) what level of fubar it is to discuss Top Secret Classified military plans on Signal , and to include a journalist.substack.com/redirect/a23d5324

Experts warned that hiring people based on cultural war and not experience and competence would put America at risk.

A return to #Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders is “an unrealistic objective” & an “illusionary goal” in the peace settlement between Ukraine & #Russia that #Trump wants to accomplish, the #SecDef #PeteHegseth, said… [meaning, Ukraine gives up their #sovereign territories that have been invaded to Russia].
