Signals of distress: Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon is a mess of his own making

I know that it may be impossible to accept it, but it became clear Cable news host on the weekend With a long record of personal misconduct may not be able to lead the strongest army on the ground after all. Unfortunately, the defense secretary appears Higseth House It is not believed that the president and the entire Republican Party believed that it was its wide potential based on the “central appearance” of the good appearance and the white superior tattoo. He is in trouble again This time comes from inside the house.

Higseth had already shown recklessness and non -judgment Many of his former colleagues In Fox News, barely a stronghold of Wokenes, their anxiety said when he was nominated. (It was known that he had a very messy personal life with excessive drinking, affairs, Mamas child Even the charge of rape. But his rule is worse than his critics expected.

First of all, it appears to be obsessed with Fox News issues, especially Dei, and spends a lot of time Anxiety About things like fitness instead of the big picture. He was his first work as defense minister He shot the best women And black leaders in the leadership chain, Including the head of the joint presidentsWhich was excellent. His directives To disinfect the sexual transgender and all Referring to race, sex or race It resulted in some very embarrassing differences Like removal From Jackie Robinson’s and Navajo Code-Talker’s Web Pages.

In fairness, although Higseth’s passion for roaming the matter may be, Donald Trump’s agenda is as much as his property. The problem is that it is not ridiculously qualified for the real task of managing the Pentagon to the extent that the whole place began to be separated – and it occurs at the hands of the closest Higseth allies who seem to be apparently in the throat of each other.

We all know about Signalgate scandal Where Trump’s National Security Adviser Mike Walz Put a group conversation on an unsafe application, and the ATLANTIC Editor -in -Chief added, which was naturally reported. Regardless of the foolishness of this same step, one of the most terrible IUDs in that chat was the Effense Minister who participates in the imminent war plans. The administration tried its ingenuity by saying that the war plans are not classified, and this is compassionate, but they were able to calm the Hegseth calls for resignation. But last night The New York Times mentioned Another conversation, this chat in the incitement of Higseth, which is worse than the other.

According to what was reported, Higseth had a continuous group called “Defeense | Team Hudde”, which also attracted the parties to Signal, with which he also participated in war plans. This group only included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, as they were given a kind of work function in the Pentagon. HegSeth used his personal phone this time to leak beans.

Higseth Criticism To bring his wife to meetings with foreign military leaders where sensitive information has been exchanged, he seems to be considered a great advisor. Why do I think it is appropriate to inform her, his brother and a former person’s lawyer in war plans is a mystery. Again, the man has a serious judgment problem.

You may wonder where the New York Times got this information. We definitely do not know, but it is not very difficult to guess. There has been a very confusing cleansing of the nearest Higseth consultants in the past few days. Politico I mentioned this week The former senior advisers Dan Caldwell, former Chief of Staff Darren Celnik and Colin Carroll, former Deputy Chief of Defense, were “under investigation into a series of leaks that included reports about Elon Musk’s visit to the Pentagon, the military plans of the Panama channel, which is a second airline heading to the Red Sea, and providing a set of intelligence in Acuran. They were not among the lying detection tests.

You will notice that they are not defending Higseth, their former dear friend. Skuttlebut is that they clashed with Joe Casper, the chief of staff of Higseth. But he left him recently position. Currently, HegSeth has no chief of staff, chief of staff, or chief advisor, Politico mentioned:

“There is a complete collapse in the building, and this really reflects the leadership of the Secretary,” said one of the senior defense officials. “Higseth’s house surrounded himself with some people who have no interest in the heart.”

You may also say that Higseth’s house cannot manage its way out of the garbage bag. These disorders are caused by its closest employees who are all in shaving each other. Back should stop with a house, don’t you think that?

Meanwhile, the last of his close friends, a real blue -blue follower named John Ullewat, who previously worked as a Pentagon spokesman, He wrote an article on Politico on Sunday night The Pentagon said was in a state of complete chaos in the past month and it is difficult to see how Higseth survived. He claims that more bombs are on the way.

If you are wondering how Higseth responded to all this, I think this says everything:

I remember when Higseth was confirmed, there were some types of old hands saying “Good luck” when people say he would come and completely renew the Pentagon in Trump’s image. They indicated that it is the largest bureaucracy in the world with many contracts of experience in fighting bureaucratic battles. I cannot speculate on what happened here, but if you have to bet, I will bet on the Pentagon on Higseth. Usually, this would bother me, but in this case I am afraid that I will win the Pentagon’s bureaucracy. The Higseth House is the danger of huge national security.
