“Reed: He should be praised for starting war without authority, creating a situation in which the world economy is suffering tremendously?” 17 soldiers have lost their lives, 100’s probably 1000’s injured, we’ll never know because trump and co are such liars.

Ruh roh, rather than falling on the sword, Hegseth blames Trump for the Hormuz debacle under the guise of praise. The boss ain’t gonna like that. 😏

How many years are Trump and Pete Hegseth going to blame Biden for the WAR in Iran that they started?

There's something very disturbing about Hegseth thought processes. He isn't normal and he isn't anywhere near as smart as he thinks he is. I truly think he'll end up in prison.

Remember when he said this in April “Together with our Israeli partners, America’s military achieved every single objective on plan, on schedule, exactly as laid out from day one.”

For them to say Biden was "old" and "sleepy" they are sure saying he did a lot of things. Hegseth should have been fired and this mess started under Donald's administration.

Sen. Reed: "The DOD has been planning for potential operations against Iran for many years, and one of the assumptions was that the Strait of Hormuz could be closed. Were you unaware of that?" Hegseth: "You are correct. Nobody plans more and looks more at contingencies than our department…Of course the Strait of Hormuz was front and center in every aspect of that, hence why one of our objectives to begin with was to sink the entirety of Iran's navy." Sen. Reed: "So you were completely aware that the Strait of Hormuz could be closed?" Hegseth: "We had U.S. boats that surrendered to Iranian ships under the Biden administration." Sen. Reed: "We're talking about a war you started…Your fallback to the Biden administration is a very obvious excuse for what I think is probably, as you describe so often, gross negligence."

HEGSETH: We had US boats that surrendered to Iranian ships during the Biden administration-- REED: Listen -- we're talking about the war you started. Not a situation in which oil was flowing freely, there was no conflict, we weren't losing personnel. So your fallback to the Biden administration is just a very very obvious excuse for what I think is gross negligence.

Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) questioned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday about whether he had been unaware of the possibility of the Strait of Hormuz closing amid a conflict with Iran. The strait was “front and center” in every aspect of the department’s planning, Hegseth said while testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee. Reed also said Hegseth’s “fallback to the Biden administration is just a very, very, obvious excuse for what I think is probably, as you describe so often, gross negligence.”

PabloReports: Trump said that closing the Strait of Hormuz was a genius move. Luján: The Strait was not closed before the war with Iran started. The question I have is: what about all of the toys that people might be purchasing for the holidays that should be in production right now—what is going to happen to that? What the president is doing is reckless; he doesn’t have a plan. Hegseth contradicts himself every time he speaks, Rubio contradicts Hegseth…

Deluzio: The Trump administration is floundering. They are trying to get back to a situation that looks like it’s going to be worse than it was before they started the war, just to get the Strait of Hormuz moving again. This is a president who tore up a nuclear deal that he would be glad to have today with the Iranians that President Obama negotiated years ago. I just really don’t think they know what the heck they are doing.

Sullivan: I think the truth will out here… and I think that has to be of real concern to the administration. You may have noticed that when President Trump got asked about this, he said, “I didn’t know anything about that,” which is kind of a telltale sign of him trying to get away from what is an extremely serious situation.

🚨 JUST IN: The Secretary General of NATO gave President Trump a HUGE praise and said the countries should be THANKING him for strengthening NATO. "I mean, would you EVER think that this would be the result of this summit if he would not have been reelected president?" "Do you really think that 7 or 8 countries who said, somewhere in the 2030s we might meet the 2%? We've now ALL decided in the last 4 or 5 months to get to 2% [defense spending]." "So, doesn't he deserve some praise?" "And when it comes to Iran? The fact that he took this decisive action, very targeted, to make sure that Iran would not be able to get their hands on a nuclear capability. I think he deserves ALL the praise!"

"A GREAT AND BRILLIANT DAY FOR THE WORLD!" "THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS COMPLETELY OPEN..." "Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over..." On Truth Social, Trump seems to be proclaiming that all is well with Iran and signaling that he's moving on.

AOC: President Trump—I want to be clear—not only threatened genocide, he is continuing to threaten genocide against the Iranian people. That is his main point of “leverage” in this situation. It is a war crime. It is abhorrent, and it is also illegal. Our presence right now is a crime. I personally believe it’s impeachable. But putting all of that aside, it’s a crime. No president is authorized by the Constitution of the United States to go to war without the authorization of Congress. Period. And acting on any of these threats would also be a crime.
