The first #Trump admin & the #Biden admin characterized #China as the greatest threat to the #US & postured the force to prepare for & deter conflict in the Pacific region. But #Hegseth’s guidance is extraordinary in its description of the potential invasion of #Taiwan as the exclusive animating scenario that must be prioritized over other potential dangers—reorienting the vast US #military architecture toward the Indo-Pacific region beyond homeland defense.
The document — setting out a prioritization framework for senior #defense officials & a vision to execute that work — also instructs the #military to take a more direct role in countering illegal #immigration & #DrugTrafficking.
The doc, known as the Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance & marked “secret/no foreign national” in most passages, was distributed throughout the #Defense Dept in mid-March & signed by #Hegseth. It outlines, in broad & partisan detail, the execution of #Trump’s vision to prepare for & win a potential #war against #China & defend the #UnitedStates from threats in the “near abroad,” including #Greenland & the #PanamaCanal.
Has anyone else noticed the severe #enshitification of #google #gmail ? I send a mail from a gmail account to one of my email addresses and google says it got sent. But in fact it never touches my server. Gidiots put the mail in the sent box, and never say they didn't deliver it and never say they made no attempt to deliver it. I have a strong suspicion that they've now decided that they will only deliver email to another #oligarch owned service. (Probably including .ru addresses since that's where #hegseth has an account)
Is it just me? Are you sure your email is being delivered?

The Missing Piece of the #Signal Group Chat: The #Trump administration's natsec leaders didn't address what should have been a fundamental aspect of the attack

@GottaLaff Key takeaways: 1) Heritage Foundation pwned #Hegseth and the #DoD there's at least 1 leaker in the DoD and they won't be able to find out who because they distributed the 'secret' so widely. 3) Hegseth & Co. are too lazy to do anything but plagiarize.

“Secret Pentagon memo on #China, homeland has Heritage fingerprints
An internal guidance memo from Defense Sec Pete #Hegseth focuses on deterring China’s seizure of Taiwan and shoring up homeland defense. In some instances, the document is nearly a word-for-word facsimile of a report from the conservative think tank behind #Project2025 “ 1/..
"Buried in the messages between National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, and other cabinet members is a horrible demonstration of narrative engineering.
"While the legacy media fixates on ‘classified information’, the real story is actually not the incompetence of these people but instead how they casually discussed spinning the bombing of Yemen—an already battered and famine-ravaged nation—into a palatable story for the American and global public. Let’s have a look":
