DUI hire Hegseth continues to model professionalism, collaboration and good communications... ![]() Order by Hegseth to cancel Ukraine weapons caught White House off guard https://www.reuters.com/world/us/order-by-hegseth-cancel-ukraine-weapons-caught-white-house-off-guard-2025-05-06/ Pete Hegseth cancelled military aid flights to Ukraine just a week into Trump’s second term without him even knowing, according to Reuters. The defense secretary called off 11 Ukraine-bound planes carrying artillery, shells, and other weapons. Trump was completely unaware that Hegseth had made the call, as the TRANSCOM records simply show a verbal order from “SECDEF”—the secretary of defense—stopping aid flights to Ukraine until February 5. The order initially sparked mass confusion within the administration, as national security officials in the White House, the Pentagon, and the State Department couldn’t figure out who ordered the halt in flights. |
I’m convinced every cabinet member is being left to their own devices and just doing what they want. |
No, a number of them are entirely checked out and just doing whatever Elon Musk wants. At least Hesgeth is a bit different in that respect. |
You mean Hegseth didn't loop them in on his Signal chat? |
Well I had a weird message about flights on my signal app. Had no idea what they were talking about. |
I kind of think that too. And Hegseth is the dopey aggressive boy from high school who now has the Department of Defense. I don't think these people know what they're doing. |
Whatever gave you that idea? ![]() |
You have no idea what comms are going on. You are on the outside reading fiction. |

Sounds like Trump is on the outside as well. Who's in charge? Musk? Are Trump's clown car of destruction White House staff even able to keep him focused or is he too focused on golf, hamberders, and covfefe? |
Overheard at the Pentagon:
“BRO, I did WHAT? Man, I was soooo WASTED! The Ukraine weapons! Haha!” |
What? Half the people in this thread are probably in the signal chat with him. |
Good. The sooner Zelensky's slush fund dries up, the sooner he'll stop trying to fight to the last Ukrainian and accept the reality that Ukraine has lost. |
Oh I remember that! I got a text from some number I did not know asking if the plane load of shells should continue. I thought it was spam and replied no. My bad! |
