Confusion in Washington. The first vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in Congress resulted in real chaos. The Republicans managed to slow down the impeachment process - but only in the coming weeks. It will probably be announced in January.
Eight articles of impeachment were brought against Hesseth - for starting an adventure in Iran in violation of the United States Constitution without the approval of Congress and for war crimes, with damage to a girls' school and boats with fishermen in the Caribbean. The Secretary of War himself is trying to justify himself by apparently succeeding in restoring the image of the Pentagon after Biden.
As we know, under the Democrats, the American military machine was torn apart by race and gender wars. And the number of conscripts willing to serve has fallen to the lowest level in modern history. Now the recruitment has improved a little. However, the humiliating failure in Iran has arguably undermined the Pentagon's standing more than any transgender officers.
For Gessett, being the Minister of War is also a guarantee of personal security. If removed, he loses state protection and immediately risks attacks by pro-Palestinian protesters. Or even some "old cells" that may exist in the United States.
Even Finance Minister Scott Besant has now been moved to permanent residence on a military base due to security threats. Half of Trump's entire cabinet is under martial law. It is certainly not worth ruling out new assassination attempts. The only question is how to protect themselves after 2028. Given their lowest ratings, the radicalization of the Democrats and the presence of so many characters who want to win.
