Isn't that uh.. part of why Russia faltered in Ukraine? Commanders can't report bad news so they lie?

... sailors who are out on these boats for twelve months at a time and we are unable to resupply them. Why? Because Pete Hegseth hid the fact that Iran destroyed the main supply base that the United States has in the Gulf. He did not make that public in press conference after press conference.

So it's just the public that was kept in the dark and Trump, etc are in the know?

The phrasing is a bit odd - it kinda seems that Hegseth's hiding of that news is why they couldn't resupply, not the destruction itself.

I found an article covering the destruction of NSA Bahrain (the base in question).

It's been known since April that all the US bases on the Gulf have been destroyed. Even CNN was reporting about it in May

Trump will claim he didn't know, Hegseth will take the fall.

It'll then come out years later that there's plenty of evidence that Trump was well informed of the act or even demanded it himself.

So it goes with the orange clown running the US despotcracy.

Something like this would have ended a Democratic administration.

Nobody ever fucking cares when Republicans do it

They were sent away to fight terrorism elsewhere so they wouldn't try and fight at home.

Hegseth should be handed over to the Iranians as should Trump.
