Hegseth is a weirdo & a Zionist. In December 2024, he called himself an “a f--ked up individual,” after admitting to cheating on his first wife five times! His own mother said he mistreated women. Hegseth has also said, "I don't think I've washed my hands for ten years." Talking about germs he affirmed: "I can't see them. Therefore, they're not real."

Okie Doooookie Zio Heggie…

This US appointed secretary of Defense cheated on his two wives twice and got one mistress pregnant (Jennifer Rauchet, then a Fox News producer ) while still married. He claims to be a Christian, too.

I side eye anyone that is a Zionist. Especially one with that crazy look. I agree with him 100% when he said of himself, that he’s a ‘f- - ked up individual’. 🤪

Two things to consider with your Putin essays. 1. The Russians deliberated collapsed the USSR. 2. Putin, while a Orthodox Christian, is also a Taoist and has a very deep undertanding of "The Art of War".

They're just a bunch of cult loving c**** (clowns...in case this gets sensored). Like they really matter in this world. Just captured weak people who think they've landed and are somehow important.

America is a circus, I guess.

So, the Crusades were violent? Well, the Muslims etc were not exactly that virtuous. I mean, why did the Crusades occur in the first place? Because the muslims had taken over the Christian world, by violence. Indeed, within most of the Middle East, Arabs, Christians and Jews had lived quite happily together. https://isi.org/you-thought-the-crusades-were-eviluntil-you-read-this/

Indeed, after the Crusades failed, Muslims continued to take over the Christian world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_To-cV94Bo

No, I do not agree with any atrocity as described in the article but, as the saying goes, there are two sides to the coin.

While I agree with the quote in your article about the crusaders slaughtering the Jewish and Muslim inhabitants when they took the city, Western historians typically leave out the trail of destruction (aside from the sacking of Constantinople) that the crusaders delt out to the local Eastern Orthodox Christian communities. I read a book many years ago detailing it but I'm traveling right now and can't check my bookshelf. In it was written that more Orthodox Christians suffered in the Crusades than Jews or Muslims. When at home, I must send you the title.

Thebes was an important cultural center of learning in Greece

Alexander the “Great” slaughtered everyone there

Our culture idolizes sociopaths

Will it ever change? Dont know

I don't mind reading the anti-American insults as I probably would hear the same stuff if I listened to myself at the dinner table.

But context matters. The context is that Hegseth is a product of the culture in which he was raised - America circa-2000 (President Bill Clinton). I compare that America to my own circa-1980 (President Ronald Reagan).

The differences are pretty stark. One President was a scum-bag pervert and one was an honorable man.

That's what happened to America. The culture very quickly degenerated into the gutter.

Hegseth should be commended for rising above the culture that voted for Clinton, and not becoming a scum-bag parasite prowling for desperate ugly women.

I would argue that the man doesn't matter in American politics -- inherited policy does.. I certainly agree with you about the culture!
