Hegseth Had No Authority To Block Arms To Ukraine

 

There are reports that incompetent DUI hire Secretary of Defense Pete "Pancake Pete" Hegseth ordered eleven shipments of artillery shells and other arms bound for Ukraine to stop in late January, without the apparent approval of the Malignant Loser or senior regime officials:

"U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's office ordered a temporary halt of military aid flights to Ukraine in early February without notifying the White House, Reuters reported on May 6, citing unnamed sources.

The suspension reportedly affected 11 shipments of artillery shells and weapons from Dover Air Force Base and a U.S. base in the United Arab Emirates.

The order, issued about a week after U.S. President Donald Trump began his second term, caused immediate concern in Kyiv and among officials in Poland, who contacted Washington for answers.

Top national security officials at the White House, Pentagon, and State Department were unaware of the decision and could not respond to inquiries. [snip]

Four people familiar with the matter told Reuters a small group of Pentagon staffers, many with long-standing opposition to U.S. aid for Ukraine, had advised Hegseth to suspend assistance.

The president and other senior officials remained unaware of the suspension until Ukrainian and European partners raised concerns. The canceled flights reportedly cost U.S. Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) $2.2 million." (our emphasis)

That this foolish Fox Channel transplant would take it upon himself to halt vital military aid to Ukraine on the advice of "a small group of Pentagon staffers" with an axe to grind against Ukraine is staggeringly dangerous and inept. Clearly that "small group" of stooges should be looked at for connections to the Russian government, since they sought to give Russian forces an advantage over Ukraine. That won't happen, of course.

This is but one more glaring reason why Hegseth needs to be fired or resign. He's a national security threat, and needs to return to his weekend sofa on Fox.
