Of course, when you have a reality TV star as Commander in Chief, and a Defense Department headed by a Fox talking head, you should expect an emphasis on theater over strategy, of content over competence. I feel sorry for our military personnel, having to try to operate in a Middle Eastern war while navigating past these two boobs. The only place these two are leading us is into disaster. Sadly, we deserve it, for having elected a dumpster fire president.

We might deserve it, but our troops don’t.

If the war has cost $37.5 billion so far, why does he need $70 billion to replace what they lost?

My best guess is that it's cost a hell of a lot more than 37.5

I believe that the only news service provided to military troops world-wide is Fox

“ News “….how can we expect them to have a balanced view of events ? They are being effectively brainwashed…

Add to this, the fact that Rupert Murdoch’s Russian latest wife was formerly married to a Russian oligarch…Red Rupert has finally revealed his connections…

Caine gets the award of the day for an understatement "Airpower has its limits." Now if he could only convince the morons on the civilian side of this equation we might get somewhere - like a real agreement , a truce that isn't broken on a daily basis, and perhaps a face-saving way out of this imbroglio but that takes brains and character of which Trump and Hegseth are lacking,

Zelenskyy, if I remember correctly, was also a television star. The difference between him and captain von schitzenpants? President Zelenskyy has a brain that is located above his neck, and he knows how to use it. Plus he's just smarter! Capt von schitzenpants, on the other hand, sits on his diapered one, which is where all his ideas come from.

There has been wide condemnation of Zelenskyy's decision to remove Fedorov, but if there was a deepening feud between Fedorov and Sirsky, he had to do something. I'm sure he made the decision reluctantly, and tried to minimize the fallout by removing only one of the feuding parties. But it turned out that the situation was too far gone to respond to half measures.

The adoration of brute masculinity by Trump and Hegseth raises questions about their own masculinity.

Zelenskyy is just simply smarter than Trump. Trump will do the same thing forever expecting a different outcome the very definition of insanity without using let alone thinking about any kind of strategy.

So low-T Pete needs $70B? Why? Did he run out of mascara?

The Hegseth-Trump adoration of brute masculinity is quite questionable.
