Summary
Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary, has sparked controversy over his extremist rhetoric, detailed in his 2020 book American Crusade.
Hegseth advocates for a “holy war” against leftist “enemies” and envisions a potential civil war if Democrats prevail politically, stating the military and police would need to choose sides.
He openly dismisses democracy, endorses gerrymandering, and promotes nationalist, anti-globalist ideologies.
Critics warn of his loyalty to Trump and his potential support for militarized actions against domestic opposition, raising alarms about his suitability to oversee the Pentagon.
Our adversaries would have a difficult time invading even a fractured US, nobody really has the naval forces to pull it off besides us. If they did try, it would be with the help of a former American faction that would be foolish enough to believe the leopard wouldn’t eat them.
I think they would be more interested in taking the opening to settle their regional aspirations. Taiwan, SE Asia, the Balkans and Eastern Europe…
No need to invade when you can just pay for a few shitposts and watch the USA destroy itself.
I don’t think a military invasion is really necessary. An infiltration of our power structures is going to be the way to achieve their own national objectives. And, I hope I’m being dramatic, but I think Trump is paving the way for it.
