For the first time since the US created an international group to coordinate military aid to Ukraine three years ago, America’s Pentagon chief will not be in attendance when more than 50 other defense leaders meet Wednesday, June 4. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who returned from a national security conference in Singapore on Sunday, will not arrive in Brussels until Wednesday evening, after the Ukraine Defense Contact Group’s meeting is over.
It is the latest in a series of steps that the US has taken to distance itself from the Ukraine war effort. And it comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s warning at the security conference last weekend that the US and others risk a dangerous double standard if their concentration on a potential conflict with China is done at the cost of abandoning Ukraine.
Do you really want Hegseth getting involved? Man’s got the Sidam touch in a way even other members of the Trump team can’t help but notice.
Given the abysmal OpSec he’s demonstrated, seems like he’d be more harm than good.
A fair point. I’m hoping he’d just be passed out and some competent person could get Ukraine what they need.
Wouldn’t that be a Sadim touch?
That name sounds brown. Off to CECOT.
