Hegseth should never have got within a million miles of running the Pentagon. He was inexperienced, unqualified & an extremist. His implosion is unsurprising. I have no expectation that his successor will be any better.

Zero russian casualties in their campaign to take Washington. Truly a victory worthy of Suvorov.
It was, in fact, much easier for russia to take over the US than to occupy 20% of Ukraine

“Russia used the first round of talks with the US over … Ukraine to demand the withdrawal of Nato forces from the alliance’s eastern flank, triggering concern in Europe that the Trump admin could acquiesce to seal a peace deal, Romania’s govt said” on.ft.com/3Qse1WX
Russia asked US for Nato withdrawal from eastern Europe, says Romania
Moscow’s demand rejected by Washington but allies fear Trump could yet allow restoration of former Soviet bloc
