That sounds familiar . . .

Even Faux Noise is "about the worst." MAGAts are whiny, dishonest cowards.

That leaked damage assessment changed the entire discussion. Again, HERO.

Another leaked assessment from leftist CNN news? In other news, Iran's Ayatollah has told his people to chill and go back to fucking goats.

Jagoff MIA?

Pentagon policy chief’s rogue decisions have irked US allies and the Trump administration

Elbridge Colby spent the last several years in Washington making a name for himself as an experienced, restraint-minded foreign policy leader eager to focus the U.S. military away from Europe and toward the Indo-Pacific.

But since joining the second Trump administration as the Pentagon's top policy chief, Colby has made a series of rapid-fire moves that have blindsided parts of the White House and frustrated several of America’s foreign allies, according to seven people familiar with the situation....

He prompted last week’s decision, first reported by POLITICO, to halt shipments of some air defense missiles to Ukraine, which caught many Trump allies and lawmakers off guard. This week, President Donald Trump said he would reverse the decision to pause the weapons but claimed he did not know who had approved it.

Colby also surprised top officials at the State Department and the National Security Council in June when he decided to review America’s submarine pact with Australia and the U.K.

“He is pissing off just about everyone I know inside the administration,” said one person familiar with the situation. “They all view him as the guy who’s going to make the U.S. do less in the world in general.”

And in conversations with defense counterparts from Britain and Japan in recent months, Colby’s hard-charging style has caused serious dustups.

“He has basically decided that he's going to be the intellectual driving force behind a kind of neo-isolationism that believes that the United States should act more alone, that allies and friends are kind of encumbering,” said a person familiar with the Trump administration dynamics.

Colby did not respond to a request for comment.

Chicken

... Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said Colby is doing exactly what would be expected of his job. “The entire purpose of Undersecretary Colby's job is to provide policy recommendations to Secretary Hegseth, and his advice has proved to be invaluable,” he wrote in an email.

Parnell added there is “zero daylight” between Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Colby.

Does that mean that Jagoff has okayed these grand geopolitical moves or is Colby a "rogue" cheese?

... “The way that one person from State put it to me is: ‘Who is this fucking guy?’” said a former U.S. official familiar with the policy discussions....

“I'm deeply worried that [Colby] buys into the authoritarian worldview that you know, Putin's a dictator, and Xi is a dictator, and Trump aspires to be a dictator, so let's just let all the dictators get together and divide up the world,” said House Armed Services ranking member Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.). “That is horrific policy for the world and for the United States.”

... Others, including Alexander Gray, who served in the first Trump administration as chief of staff on the National Security Council, defended Colby as someone committed to the president and Hegseth’s agenda.

“The things that are publicly known that he's pushing for are all things that are consistent with the president and the secretary's stated positions and guidance,” Gray said. “The guy's a skilled bureaucratic tactician, and he's good at implementing what the people above him want, and people who don't win in those battles go and complain about it.”

Colby's grandfather is the guy who conceived the CIA Phoenix program in Vietnam. It was a death squad.

Terrific.

This guy will probably be named interim secdef when Jagoff finally gets fired.
