Hegseth is in so far over his head he can't see daylight. This is a mediocre guy whose claim to fame was accidentally hitting someone with an axe on TV, and now he has to sell a war to an exhausted country that nobody can justify. He's scared, angry, and lashing out because he can't hide.

Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.

But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.

Pentagon Sends Marine Expeditionary
Unit to Middle East
By Lara Seligman
The Pentagon is moving a Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East, as Iran steps up its attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, according to two U.S. officials.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved a request from U.S. Central Command, responsible for American forces in the Middle East, for the expeditionary unit, typically consisting of up to 2,500 Marines, the officials said.
The move comes as Iran's attacks on the strait have paralyzed traffic through the strategic waterway, disrupting the global economy, driving up gas prices and posing a major military and political challenge for President Trump. A Pentagon spokesperson declined to comment.

โ€žThe only thing prohibiting transit in the Strait (of Hormuz) right now is Iran shooting at shipping. It is open for transit should Iran not do that.โ€œ

Thanks for this clarification, Pete. I almost got the impression that you lost control of the situation.

Two things here.

One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well.

Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.

Defense Secretary Hegseth used his press conference on Trump's war on Iran to browbeat the press & weigh in on CNN's ownership: "More fake news from CNN ... the sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better"

(Hegseth spent more time attacking media than he did on US casualties)

Briefing: Concerns Regarding Palantir Technologies and NHS Data Systems - Medact This briefing document outlines the key concerns regarding the involvement of Palantir Technologies in NHS data infrastructure and operations, including via their delivery of the FDP.

Today, a group of health charities, human rights organisations and unions have written to every hospital in the country. Weโ€™re asking hospital leaders to stand up to NHS England and say no to Palantir.

Hereโ€™s the briefing:

We all know how Trumpโ€™s Iran War ends. With the military doing what they were ordered to do very well, Trump failing to achieve what he promised, costing taxpayers a fortune, Americaโ€™s standing in the world diminished, higher gas prices & inflation, with Trump declaring victory.

โ€˜I can't bear to hear Trump talk about the success of first hour of the Iran warโ€™ | The News Agents Donald Trump claims the US โ€˜wonโ€™ the Iran War in just one hour of strikes โ€“ during which time 165 people were killed at a girlsโ€™ school. Will America keep buying his narrative of events?

"We know that within that first hour of war, between 140 and 160 Iranian school girls were killed by an American Tomahawk missile," says Emily Maitlis.

"Now, if that's what Trump thinks of a success, I am speechless, frankly"
