US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth gathered top generals and encouraged the military to commit war crimes and ignore international law.
“You kill people and break things for a living”, Hegseth proudly told the military commanders, calling for “maximum lethality”.
“We also don’t fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters, to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country”, he added.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump ordered the Department of War to use US cities as “training grounds”, to fight the “enemy within”.
He bragged about deploying the National Guard to cities like Washington, DC and Los Angeles, California, and said his next targets are Portland, Oregon and Chicago, Illinois.
“America is under invasion from within”, Trump claimed. “It’s a war, too. It’s a war from within”.
The US president boasted that he “signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances”, to deploy the military to repress his political rivals.
Trump and Hegseth made these remarks at a special event held in Quantico, Virginia on 30 September. …..more
