The intense back-and-forth between Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Hillary Clinton reached a fever pitch on Sunday when Hegseth robustly countered accusations from the former Secretary of State. Clinton, twice unsuccessful in her presidential bids, hinted that Hegseth was yielding to Russian President Vladimir Putin, provoking a fiery retort from Hegseth.
It all began on the social media platform X, where Clinton shared an article from Gizmodo titled, “Trump’s Defense Secretary Hegseth Orders Cyber Command to ‘Stand Down’ on All Russia Operations.” This piece argued that the Trump Administration is focusing on cooling tensions with Russia as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky remains obstinate in his refusal to negotiate peace.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is advocating for military intervention in Ukraine, and Hillary Clinton seems to be on board with this aggressive stance, criticizing Hegseth for what she perceives as a move towards de-escalation.
In her post, Clinton taunted, “Wouldn’t want to hurt Putin’s feelings,” suggesting a capitulation to Russia’s interests under the Trump administration. However, Hegseth was quick on the draw, responding with a photograph of Clinton’s own infamous attempt at resetting relations with Russia, a historical moment fraught with its own embarrassing missteps. Clinton was photographed beside Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, holding a “reset” button—an initiative that stumbled out of the gate when the button displayed the misprint “overcharge” instead of “reset.”

This episode harkens back to March 2009 when Clinton declared that the Obama Administration was setting out to renew ties with Russia. Yet, this effort was marred by their bungled delivery, reducing what should have been a moment of diplomacy to a linguistic blunder.
Hegseth’s pointed response is a reminder of the inconsistency in Clinton’s approach during her tenure. Even in July 2014, she maintained to NPR that “the reset worked” with Russia, only to later tell CNN’s Fareed Zakaria that she was the “most skeptical” about the reset policy. It’s clear Clinton’s record as Secretary of State was riddled with contradictions.
Fortunately, in 2016, the American electorate chose Donald Trump over Clinton, saving the U.S. from a potential Clinton presidency. Under Trump’s leadership, the administration has taken a different path, one that seeks stability rather than pandering to hawkish strategies that could escalate international tensions unnecessarily.
WATCH
Hegseth’s rebuttal not only illuminates the inconsistencies in Clinton’s diplomatic history but affirms the commitment of the Trump administration to chart a course of pragmatic international relations, one that stands firm against the liberal media’s constant barrage.
Your insights are always appreciated, thanks!
Go Pete Go
Hope Intel is correct on Russia
Nothing the HIldabeast has done is good. She was clearly guilty (Emails) of something the rest of us would be in prison for. NOt ever going to happen because somehow she got the chain of custody for the evidence against her broken. I’m convinced that the only justice she will ever get will be a high velocity piece of metal to her brain pan or some horribly painful and fatal disease.
Horrible Hillary doesnt seem to accept the fact that she is a known loser many times over, citizens are aware of all her failures and law abuses and, dont want any part of her in charge of anything. Go take a long nap Hill.
Why are we still listening to what this lying witch has to say? Everyone in the world knows that she couldn’t speak the truth under any circumstance. Her last dying breath will be used to further a a lie and the progressive left will enshrine it on some government building somewhere. Crooked Hilary, pretty much sums it up. i don’t know what leverage she had on Comey and the other members responsible for the review of her actions during her tenure as Secretary of State. This woman is so bent there isn’t a hope in hell that will ever be held accountable. She in my opinion is the most evil vile person to ever hold political office in this Nation. Hopefully DOGE will be able to unmask this viscous snake for what she truly is. BTW, there isn’t a disease painful enough to equal the suffering this woman has caused.
Can’t stand to look at let alone listen to the idiocy that she spews. Many people lost their lives because of her low IQ and the best thing that ever happened was she lost her bid for the WH twice. President Trump is way smarter than the democrats and the person besides Schumer that needs to go very soon is Raskin. So sick of that idiot.
God, please take care of Hillary
Why is that bitch still trying to be credible?????
