Oh Don, Pete is Vicious like You Are

This is how Pete Hegseth the U.S. Secretary of Defense looks (see video), if you tell him something that he doesn’t want to hear….even if it’s the truth.
Don, you appointed this guy. He’s a lot like you. If he wasn’t you’d fire him, right Don?
Don, you know that In October, Hegseth fired U.S. Navy Chief of Staff Jon Harrison for trying to limit the power of incoming Navy Undersecretary Hung Cao, your own appointee Don.
This has two objectives. Turn the U.S. Navy into a rubber stamp that will obey orders including illegal orders from you Don down to Pete, to prepare the ground (or sea in this case) for a war against Venezuela.
Your own personal Navy Don, think of it. You, a draft dodger, and now like a kid who plays with a toy ship in the bathtub wants to personally possess the Navy, Army and Air Force. Good work Don!
Don, as your unofficial advisor I have to tell you your Presidency from its very first day has been one of mean spirit. Remember when you mocked the physical disability of a reporter attending one of your rallies by imitating in a cruel manner (wild cross-eyes and flailing arms) his (to you) limitations. That was a performance worthy of the fiendish Roman Emperor Caligula.
More recently the withholding of food stamp benefits for the families of poor children at the Holidays. Same old you Don nothing has changed. I keep trying to advise you to make a human being out of you before you crash and burn, but you won’t listen, Don.
Pete, he only listens to you Don.
History will repeat itself.
Americans don’t learn from history. They are among the world’s slowest learning people, and among them; military, government officials and religious zealots…are the slowest of all. Here’s how it all shakes out.
We need a pretext for a war against Venezuela. We start bombing indiscriminately any boat we find in the Caribbean not knowing who or what is aboard, just flat-out killing people regardless based only on suspicion, with no proof of anything. The American people go along with this. Hell! They’ll go along with whatever. After all, they (49.8 percent) elected you didn’t they Don.
1. We fight the war and easily win (it first appears).
2. We set up a puppet pro-American government in Caracas.
3. The people are not loyal to this government and resent it (America has a long history of aggressive behavior in South America for which America is roundly disliked, but Don you don’t know or care about this history).
4. A guerilla insurgency is begun against the U.S. and its puppet regime in the jungles of Venezuela (Amazon Rainforest).
5. Instead of being an easy cakewalk, the war lasts for years.
6. Hundreds of people including children, innocent people unlucky to be caught in the crossfire, are killed.
7. A new row of grave headstones of 18-year-old U.S. soldiers appear at Arlington Cemetery.
Hmmm! Don and Pete, where have we all seen this scenario before?
Isn’t it refreshing to live in a country where if you’ve spent your life defending this country? Let’s say you’re a U.S. Army general and you express an honest opinion to Pete---about your concerns for the escalation Don and Pete are planning---you get fired! By a former Major, (Pete), and who is now a toady of Don.
This is like being told by Pete, “When I want your opinion I’ll give it to ya,’” or “When I say jump, you say how high?”
A German dictator named Adolf did this in 1938, got rid of the generals (Fritsch and Blomberg) who expressed concerns about his manic plans. This is the same old thing all over again. Adolf made his generals (notice how I say “his” generals) pledge loyalty to him personally and not the state.
Pete called U.S. generals and admirals together from all over the world to jointly tell them they’d be fired if they objected…to anything Pete wanted.
Now, Pete, go to the mirror. Practice snarling Pete. Bare your teeth.
Now repeat after me, “An illegal order is still an order. Carry it out or you’re gone.”
Good work Pete. Why don’t you also practice foaming at the mouth? (People will probably think it’s beer).
Pete, you’re a chip off the old block; a good description of you Don.
