This is 100% wishful thinking, but perhaps they're taking Russia seriously.
Fuck, I couldn't even muster the cope to think this might be true.

If they were taking Russia seriously, they wouldn’t consolidate the command of the entire US military into one base in Virginia.
Russia wouldn’t even need a nuke at that point. Just conventional bombs on a couple ICBMs or SBMs would effectively decapitate the United States government. Hell, just a few spies with a Uhual full of explosives could do it without risking retaliatory launches.
The idiot just rang the dinner bell for any foreign government that wants to cripple the United States. This order alone should be a fireable offense on the grounds that it blatantly weakens national security.

We're resegregating the military.
I am sure they will share it on signal again. If not it will get leaked real fast. These numpties could not keep a secret if their lives depended on it.
In construction we refer to this as a pizza party… pink slips to follow shortly. Hope you’ve been paying into that unemployment boys.
There’s a government shutdown looming, who’s to say it doesn’t have something to do with that? Y’know, since their paychecks come from the government.
The defense budget is basically unlimited
It's the department of war now, so calling it a defense budget seems wrong.
If the drunk loser wants a war he can go himself, maybe he can finally get some qualifying experience and get shot a few times by the Taliban
Looks like we're headed to war......with Kerplakistan.
We invading Argentina?
Probably Illinois
Is it a meeting or a happy hour?
Here's a good article on what this might well be about: https://www.jackhopkinsnow.com/p/how-to-read-hegseths-mass-recall
That article is honestly kind of nonsensical and reads like AI. What does Watergate have to do with any of this?
Nixon purged the DOJ to cover his ass from watergate.
Trump might be preemptively purging the DOD to cover his ass for a dictatorship.

This is one of those headlines that freaks me out, but ultimatly this meeting probably won't effect me in any way. This keeps happening. I should just stop monitoring this stuff.
