  • Admiral Bradley thrown to the wolves

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Wed Dec 3 06:34:33 2025
    The US has committed war crimes in the waters around Venezuela.

    Members of the Trump administration are beginning to realize that this could have dire consequences for them in the future.

    Trump is now blaming Hegseth, and Hegseth, in turn, is saying this:

    "Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100% support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he made..."

    In other words, if you're looking for someone to blame: it was his decision and his order; he ordered those war crimes, not me. I'm just supporting him... This is a classic example of throwing someone under the bus.

    I wonder how Admiral Bradley will interpret this now. Is he going to gather evidence that it was a political order that he foolishly followed, even though he should have refused?

    Or will Bradley now also fully support someone lower down in the chain of command? A local commander who he will now blame.

    You do wonder, though... If Bradley had refused that order from Trump and Hegseth, he would have been court-martialed, and under the current regime, he would have been convicted, because Congress, led by the spineless Republicans, would have literally left him hanging.

    In any case, Bradley was the loser. That's what happens with unreliable politics in your country. In any case, Bradley is now also guilty of a war crime. I know Trump and Hegseth put him in an impossible situation, but if anyone should have made it clear that this was going too far, it was him. The US is not Russia... correct... it wasn't Russia.

    bus.

    Good luck with that..... Historically the US has never responded when accused of "war crimes"..

    I wonder how Admiral Bradley will interpret this now. Is he going to
    gather evidence that it was a political order that he foolishly followed,

    Wondering if he wishes he has listed to his Democratic law makers when they reminded everyong that it is your duty to refuse to follow "unlawful" orders.. Which is exactly what they had in mind when they particifated in creating the political ad.

    You're committing a crime right now and you should turn yourself in.
