War crimes and treason? Why are you tolerating this? Pete Hegseth's statements about "giving no quarter" are an affirmation that he will give orders to commit war crimes. We have already seen the bombing of a school and over 160 pupils killed. Hegseth eliminated the staff, expertise, and agency tasked with preventing the targetting of civilians. You know as well as I do that targetting civilians and rejecting the agreed laws of war makes Americans less safe everywhere. You should have impeached Hegseth when he used signal for classified information, inviting a journalist. How will you answer the future when they say: why did Congress permit an unqualified, inexperienced, alcoholic spousal abusers to make war crimes a US policy? Trump acknowledges that Russia is aiding Iran in targeting US soldiers in the Middle East. So why did Trump just LIFT sanctions on Russian seaborne oil? This looks a lot like giving aid and succour to a foe. Lifting those sanctions has brought a massive benefit to Putin: it has caused a historic windfall to Russia of temporary access to markets when oil prices are nearing historic highs. Yup. This is winning for Putin and Trump has enabled this. Why are you permitting this? Why are you tolerating a policy of war crimes and succor to foes? How will you answer the questions of future historians when they say: why did you retain a twice impeached felon, likely sexual assaulter of children, who aided a foe? Maybe you should look farther into the Epstein files and what Trump might have on Putin. This catastrophic excursion is costing a billion dollars a day. Meanwhile Trump and GOP policy has been hell-bent on CUTTING access to health care, cutting snap benefits, cutting education and research and infrastructure funding. NO MONEY for health, nutrition and education but you'll break the budget to cause war and chaos; you'll fund war crimes and treason but not things to bring safety and preserve life? STOP TRUMP & HEGSETH NOW. Impeach them. NO funds for a war crime war, no funds for aid and succor to a foe.
