Why did Pete Hegseth warm Europeans not about the actual invasion in Ukraine but the so-called invasion of migrants from Africa and the Middle East? @saletan.bsky.social says the answer is obvious.
"There’s no legitimate reason why an American secretary of defense would ignore a military invasion of a European country while raising alarms about immigration. But there’s an obvious illegitimate reason."

Team Trump keeps mum about Russia’s attack on Ukraine—but fixates on how immigrants ‘threaten’ Europe’s future.
"America lost the war," writes @jvl.bsky.social.
"We began with war aims that ... variously included regime change, unconditional surrender, the destruction of Iran’s missile capabilities, and a permanent end to Iranian nuclear ambitions. We will exit the war with none of those goals achieved."

If you’d told me 20 years ago that I’d be working with folks from the Weekly Standard and loving it, I would have laughed. “That’ll happen when there’s a coup in America,” I could have joked.

I must apologize for misreporting, in this video, the amount of oil Hegseth brags about escorting through the Strait of Hormuz.
I said it was 1/8 the usual amount that goes through the strait. I said that shows he's lying when he says we control the strait.
I was wrong. It's 1/16 the usual amount.
Somebody forgot to explain to these guys that the whole point of 4th quarter comebacks is they’re not supposed to be routine.
Congratulations to the Knicks. Incredible. 🍾
