US SECRETARY OF DEFENSE HEGSETH: “We’re vigilant. We’re prepared. We’re in the region to defend our people and our assets”

"People are reading into a lot of aspects right now. We’re strong. We’re prepared. We’re defensive. President Trump hopes there could be peace.”

Why are there even American assets in the Middle East after GWOT ended?
 
That sandy shit hole has nothing to do with the US, and the fact that there is any chance at all of us going over there is insane.
It's the New Great Game. Something about sitting in the big chair alters your brain in such a way that you become suicidally obsessed with sand-blasted shitholes on the other side of the world. It's been this way since Alexander the Great.

after the Epstein stuff and this disaster i no longer trust anything this administration says.
 
I'm placing bets on the meeting with the council being about US assets, who's at highest risk of retaliatory strikes from Iran, how do we protect them, how do we avoid getting involved beyond those goals.
Everything on "Nothing happens until something moves" in this case.
 
Literally all Trump has to do is not get us sent to the middle east for Israel. That's literally all it takes. Not even of this "it's inevitable because le deep State made him do it" cope so many Trump fanboys like to drown in. He can bomb or nuke them even; he just doesn't have to start another war over it that will get Americans killed.
 
Any idea what China's take on all this is? I can't help but imagine Chairman Xi using this as another avenue to weaken the US (and the West in general).
If he wasn't a filthy atheist he'd be praying that the US somehow gets itself involved in a ground war. That would give him a free hand in Taiwan since we're still dealing with Ukraine.
 
I took some time to think about it. Trump's in check. There's no way out. Trump just has to take an L here, and it is an L, and mitigate the disaster.
Props for admitting it dude. Seriously.

My understanding of the "Deep State" is that it's unelected members of government (or organisations with close ties to individuals within it) who possess disproportionate levels of influence.
Right but they control all 3 branches of government. Why are they still blaming the Deep State (TM) instead of removing them or just ignoring them? Or, could it be, that the Deep State (TM) is just an imaginary boogieman that they tell you so they can do whatever they want and blame it on them?
 
Nixon's foreign policy was pretending to be a mad dog, Trump's is pretending to be Israel's pit mommy.
