[HEADING=2]Republican Senator Slams Hegseth For 'Rookie Mistake' On Ukraine[/HEADING]
Maybe appointing a defense policy novice as defense secretary was a bad idea!

The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee thinks Defense Secretary [Pete Hegseth]('https://www.huffpost.com/topic/pete-hegseth') made a “rookie mistake” earlier this week when he undercut Ukraine’s bargaining position with Russia before peace talks have even started.
In [an address to NATO]('https://www.huffpost.com/entry/eu-nato-us-explainer_n_67aecbbfe4b035ea23a4d679') in Brussels Wednesday, Hegseth, a former [Fox News]('https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/fox-news') weekend host with no prior experience implementing defense policy, said it was “unrealistic” for Ukraine to expect a return to its prewar borders or to join NATO.

Hegseth also sharply criticized America’s closest military allies and said NATO wouldn’t rescue a European nation if it’s attacked by Russia.
“I don’t know who wrote the speech — it is the kind of thing [Tucker Carlson]('https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/tucker-carlson') could have written, and Carlson is a fool,” Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) [told Politico in an interview]('

Wicker said he was “disturbed” by Hegseth’s comments, adding, “Everybody knows ... you don’t say before your first meeting what you will agree to and what you won’t agree to.”

President [Donald Trump]('https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump') has broadcast a [particular]('https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-trusts-putin-us-intelligence_n_63d83eb5e4b0c8e3fc80087d') [chumminess]('https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-sean-hannity-putin-evil_n_622abf90e4b0d1329e82b82b') with Putin, but Wicker called the Russian authoritarian a “war criminal who needs to be in prison for the rest of his life.”
“There are good guys and bad guys in this war, and the Russians are the bad guys,” he added. “They invaded, contrary to almost every international law, and they should be defeated.”

The crying and whining is intoxicating!

Is this what you are talking about?

Representative Buddy Carter, who represents Georgia's 1st Congressional District, has introduced the "Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025," which seeks to grant the president congressional approval to initiate negotiations for acquiring the territory, currently under Danish sovereignty.

[HEADING=2]Vance turns on European allies in blistering speech that downplayed threats from Russia and China[/HEADING]
we have ZERO world respect.....cept maybe putin

**The audience at the Munich Security Conference was expecting to hear about the Trump administration’s [plans to end the war in Ukraine]('https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/12/politics/putin-trump-phone-call/index.html'), but instead were treated to a bombastic rejection of liberal orthodoxies that have prevailed in Western Europe since the Second World War, in a speech that downplayed the threats to the continent posed by Russia and China.

a babbling idiot!!!**

POLITICO spoke to 14 conference attendees at the forum, several of whom were granted anonymity to discuss their reactions to Vance’s speech candidly. Many reacted with a mixture of shock and anger.

From inside an overflow room — the main conference hall was jam-packed — attendees laughed sardonically when Vance mentioned “shared values.” Not once, but twice, people in the room said “that was some weird shit” — quoting [George W. Bush’s reaction]('https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/03/what-george-w-bush-really-thought-of-trumps-inauguration.html') to Trump’s first inauguration speech in 2017.

That went for the professional diplomats, too. [SIZE=6]“This is all so insane and worrying,” said a German official.[/SIZE]

“I was aghast,” said a former House Democratic staffer attending the conference. “It’s not Russia influencing your elections, you are? He was blaming the victim.”

They are getting a taste of the insanity we hear daily....

VLAD PUTIN MUST BE ROFLHAO

There’s more Theatre of the Absurd to it then your notes…

Yesterday, Earl “Buddy” Carter’s (R-Ga) introduced a two-page bill titled “[[U]Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025[/U]]('https://buddycarter.house.gov/uploadedfiles/redwhitebluelandact.pdf').’

When someone shared it with me, I thought it was a meme—but it is indeed real.

The purpose of the bill? To enable President Trump’s efforts to purchase Greenland and rename it “Red, White and Blueland,” furthering his desire to continue building America’s brand in new areas.

The bill would require the U.S. [[U]Geographic Names Information System[/U]]('https://www.usgs.gov/tools/geographic-names-information-system-gnis') (GNIS) to update the name of Greenland for users who access official maps and documents in the United States of America.

Vance said it plain as day and called them out. Europe is in a shit hell hole due to the power that Brussels wields over the "Union".

See the text of his speech and it's no wonder why "14 anonymous sources" are so upset...they can't admit how their screwed-up fiscal and political policies have destroyed once great and proud sovereign nations.

Well it would have to go through the U.S. Geographic Names Information System if they closed this deal. Why would it not be appropriate to change the name if the US acquires the property?

Sounds like they are doing it by the book.
