Hegseth’s Pentagon CRISIS: Sixth Senior Official QUITS Under Hegseth’s Lead| Fired Or Silenced?

The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher. This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community. Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon. #PeteHegseth #Pentagon #USPolitics #BreakingNews #USNews #JustinFulcher #WorldNews #LatestNews #OneindiaNews #AmericanPolitics Also Read Suicides in US Military Increased in 2023, Highlighting Ongoing Mental Health Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/suicides-in-us-military-increased-in-2023-011-3987665.html?ref=DMDesc Ex-Pentagon Spy Claims Proof Of Alien Life: US Govt In Possession Of 'Bodies, Vehicles Of Unknown Origin' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ex-pentagon-spy-claims-proof-of-alien-life-ug-govt-has-bodies-vehicles-of-unknown-origin-3916083.html?ref=DMDesc Lawmakers Press Pentagon to Ensure Military Stays Out of Election Politics :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lawmakers-urge-pentagon-to-keep-military-apart-from-politics-011-3908607.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~

Hegseth RIPS Microsoft for Betrayal |Chinese Working on U.S Defense Systems, Microsoft Admits Breach

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Defense Department’s cloud services were previously supported by China-based engineers, raising national security concerns. Microsoft admitted to using teams in China for technical assistance but assured that no China-based staff will be involved moving forward. ProPublica revealed that limited U.S. oversight left critical Pentagon systems vulnerable, with personnel lacking the expertise to manage them effectively. Amid growing tensions with Beijing, Microsoft has pledged stricter controls to secure DoD cloud services against potential foreign risks. #Pentagon #Microsoft #China #CyberSecurity #Defense #NationalSecurity #DoD #CloudServices #TechNews #DataSecurity #MilitaryTech #PeteHegseth #FrankShaw #ProPublica #USChinaTensions #SecurityBreach #CyberThreats #DefenseCloud #MilitaryCloud #MicrosoftChina #TechControversy #USGovernment #CloudComputing #SupplyChainSecurity #Outsourcing #CyberRisk #WashingtonDC #ChinaUS #PentagonNews #MicrosoftUpdate #BreakingNews Also Read Microsoft Introduces BioEmu, An Innovative AI System To Enhance Drug Discovery :: https://www.oneindia.com/artificial-intelligence/microsoft-introduces-bioemu-an-innovative-ai-system-to-enhance-drug-discovery-011-7798013.html?ref=DMDesc Microsoft Layoffs: Thousands Affected In Global Job Cuts :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/microsoft-layoffs-thousands-affected-in-global-job-cuts-011-7789559.html?ref=DMDesc Xbox Division in the Firing Line as Microsoft Plans Fourth Layoff in 18 Months :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/xbox-division-in-the-firing-line-as-microsoft-plans-fourth-layoff-in-18-months-011-7783751.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

U.S SHOCKS Russia As Trump Approves $300 Million Weapons To Ukraine | Patriot Missiles | Ukraine War

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev. Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy. #TrumpUkraineAid #PatriotMissiles #UkraineWeapons #TrumpVsPentagon #KremlinWarning #MarcoRubio #PresidentialDrawdown #UkraineWar #USMilitaryAid #PentagonPause #UkraineCrisis #TrumpRussiaTalks #PutinOnUSAid #UkraineConflict #CeasefireEfforts #NATOTensions #RussiaUkraine #USArmsShipment #HighCostWeapons #UkraineMissileDefense ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~

India's FIERY Response To Trump's Warning | India Stands Firm On Russian Oil

India has doubled down on its decision to continue purchasing discounted Russian crude oil despite U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks suggesting New Delhi may halt such imports. Indian state-owned refiners reaffirmed that sourcing oil from Russia remains a strategic, price-driven choice essential for the country’s energy security, given its 85% crude import dependence. Officials emphasized that Russian oil is not under international sanctions and purchases comply with the G7/EU price cap mechanism, ensuring global markets remain liquid and prices stable. Sources argue that India's imports prevented oil prices from soaring above the March 2022 peak of $137 a barrel amid OPEC+ cuts. Meanwhile, reports of suspended purchases were dismissed, with officials highlighting the EU’s own high intake of Russian LNG. India insists its decisions are guided by national interest while contributing positively to global energy stability, even as Washington hints at possible penalties. #IndiaOilImports #RussianOil #TrumpTariffs #EnergySecurity #GlobalOilPrices #RussianCrude #OilTradeTensions #IndiaEnergyPolicy #USIndiaRelations #BrentCrude #OPECPlusCuts #PriceCapMechanism #RussianLNG #OilMarketStability #IndiaDefiesTrump #OilSupplyCrisis #GlobalEnergyCrisis #IndianRefiners #USRussiaTensions #OilImportsNews ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.103~
