(58,593 posts)What a dumb move by trump and the rethugs. He's going to have to be relieved of duty. It'll be either conflict with Denmark/NATO over Greenland, or Panama and China over the Panama Canal. And on top of the Greenland conflict, Russia will immediately try to expand westward with NATO having to defend Greenland.
It's gonna be a mess and the drunkard Sec'y of Defense won't be able to handle the stress.

(2,669 posts)That utterly fucked up piece of shit ever did?

(58,593 posts)It won't take long. And trump being the white supremacist he is will surely ask Sec'y Hedseth to get rid of the Joint Chiefs of Staff head who happens to be a four star Air Froce general, a Black man, which will be a mini crisis itself as the incompetent Defense sec'y will be temporarily lack the guidance an wisdow of the joint chief's hed.

(17,930 posts)Sec Defense in his last three books it is that there is no margin for error in what is a 24/7 job. General Mattis slept in his clothes for chrissakes, fearing he'd be called at any moment. They go through periods where they are lucky to get 3 hours of sleep!
Cameras will be everywhere. If there is evidence of him being shitfaced and incapacitated by drink and somebody at the Pentagon has the guts to leak it, we'll be seeing it shortly I assume!

is by completely dismantling the armed services in a way that insulates him from removal.
Which at this point; who TF knows if that isnt the plan
Tickle
(3,335 posts)people can change and grow. I'm giving him that, but that's it. I'm not saying he's qualified, but it hurts when we call him an alcohol....

(122,388 posts)It sounds more like he's one of those hard-core alcoholics who denies he has a problem and says he can stop drinking any time if he wants to.

Unfortunately, their replacements will be no better.

(4,136 posts)He isnt in control of anything. Hes there to order the things they tell him to order and thats it. As long as he does the bidding of the P25 people who are actually in control of the department, hell be there.
Hes a loyalist figurehead and thats it.
The same with every other cabinet post. Theyre not running anything, theyre not independent, there will be no pushback.
