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.

US BREAKING: Trump FORCES $25B Golden Dome Trial Before 2028Vote|Political Pressure to FAIL Project?

The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense system—just weeks before the 2028 election. Announced in May, Trump’s campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats. The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater. Led by Gen. Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs. With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliver—both technically and politically—is mounting. #GoldenDome #TrumpDefense #MissileDefense #2028Election #NationalSecurity #TrumpAgenda #SpaceShield #PentagonTest #FTIX #USPolitics #DefenseStrategy #TrumpCampaign #ElectionTiming #TrumpNews #MissileThreat #USMilitary #PoliticalStrategy #WhiteHouse #TrumpVsPentagon #BallisticMissiles #MilitaryFunding #PeteHegseth #MichaelGuetlein #BillionDollarTest #DefenseNews #SpaceDefense #TrumpTrialTest #PentagonMove #USDefenseShield #TrumpSpeech ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~

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.

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~

Russia RAGES As Trump RESUMES Weapons To Ukraine After Shocking Pentagon Pause | VIDEO

In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds. Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order. Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment. But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells. Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries. The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense. With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war. Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022. #TrumpUkraineAid #UkraineWar #WeaponsToUkraine #PentagonPause #PatriotMissiles #GMLRS #TrumpHegseth #UkraineRussiaWar #MilitaryAid #UkraineDefense #TrumpVsPentagon #ArtilleryToUkraine #HowitzerRounds #PutinWarCrimes #WhiteHouseConflict #UkraineCrisis #USUkraineSupport #PrecisionWeapons #AbruptPolicyShift #TrumpReversesPause ~GR.125~HT.408~ED.346~

U.S’ Flip-Flop Game: U.S Military Aid To Ukraine Under Review As Pentagon Halts Key Shipments [Video]

U.S’ Flip-Flop Game: U.S Military Aid To Ukraine Under Review As Pentagon Halts Key Shipments

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a “capability review” to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration. With President Trump’s “America First” policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy.

‘Trump Can Go F**k Himself’:  Ukraine BLASTS U.S For Sudden Suspension of Weapons Aid | U.S-Ukraine [Video]

‘Trump Can Go F**k Himself’: Ukraine BLASTS U.S For Sudden Suspension of Weapons Aid | U.S-Ukraine

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on. #Ukraine #USUkraine #Trump #AmericaFirst #MilitaryAid #WeaponSuspension #Pentagon #CapReview #Dnipro #Sumy #UkraineRussia #Zelensky #NATO #ForeignPolicy #AirDefense #Missiles #Artillery #USForeignPolicy #UkraineWar #USInternational

BIG BREAKING: Israel Kills YEMEN Houthi PM Ahmed al-Rahawi In One Of BIGGEST Attacks On Sana'a

In a shocking turn of events, Israel has launched one of its biggest and most daring strikes on Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, killing Houthi Prime Minister. The attack marks a staggering escalation in the Israel-Houthi conflict, as Israeli fighter jets targeted key Houthi leadership inside the heart of Sana’a. Houthi PM’s assassination not only sends shockwaves through Yemen but also rattles the balance of power across the Middle East. The Houthis, already engaged in a fierce standoff with Israel, have vowed retaliation after what they call a “cowardly act of aggression.” Analysts believe this move could trigger an unprecedented regional backlash, dragging Iran and other actors further into the conflict. With growing tensions in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, this development raises questions: Has Israel made its biggest mistake yet? Or is this a strategic masterstroke? The fallout could redefine the Middle East battlefield. #Israel #Houthis #Yemen #Sanaa #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #IsraelStrike #WarNews #AhmedAlRahawi #HouthiPM #IsraelHouthisWar #Airstrike #IsraelVsHouthis #YemenCrisis #RedSeaTensions #IsraelAttack #HouthisRetaliation #GlobalNews #MiddleEastConflict #Escalation ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~
