This is no way for a government official or political candidate to conduct themselves on the sacred ground of Section 60 at Arlington. The final resting place of so many heroic Americans -- including some who died under my command -- is not a political prop.
- Pro-tip: If your ship is heeling over like this, check for leaks. (I know these things because I'm an Admiral.)#Ukraine: Overnight, Ukrainian USVs (Kamikaze Sea Drones) attacked the Russian port of Novorossiysk, hitting the "Olenegorsky Gornyk" Project 775 large landing ship of the Russian navy- causing it to list due to internal flooding. The full extent of the damage is so far unclear.
00:00 - To all the trolls who surface whenever I compare Zelensky to Churchill -- please know that I will always fight for your right to express your opinions (and your right to repeat Kremlin talking points) no matter how ill-informed they are. Just don't expect me to believe them.
GIF - Hey @elonmusk, first those are not "our" bases. We are hosted by allies who provide access. Also, the graphic you posted is nonsense. We don't have access in more that a few, none in many of the countries you show. Truth matters.Oh the Irany …
- On the last night of her visit, Lorelei age 7 challenged Admiral Florida Man to a game of battleship. Tragically, despite all my years of combat experience in the fleet, I lost. Sometimes you just have to make a way for the next generation of military talent. Steely eyed killer
- Next we'll hear the US fleet should never have attacked the Japanese on 7 December 1941 at Pearl Harbor.
- We have an American aircraft carrier, airwing, warships off the coast of Israel - could be in combat any minute. But we don’t have a chief of naval operations confirmed. What’s wrong with that picture? Answer: Senator Tuberville. Lift the hold coach.
- And I will add to the Ambassador‘s excellent comment that when I was supreme commander of NATO I watched Canadians fight and die bravely under my command in Afghanistan just 10 years ago. They weren’t attacked. We were.
- Recommended uniform of the day for European visitors to the White House.
- I am a naval expert, General, and you are entirely correct. I will send you my Russian tank damage analysis soon.While I'm no Naval expert, it appears this Russian ship is heavily damaged in key areas.
- I don’t always agree with President Erdogan but in this case his call to restore Crimea to Ukraine is exactly right. This is a serious blow to Vladimir Putin.
- If Trump moves on to fire the head of the CIA and the head of the FBI, both true professionals and patriots, we are going to be in uncharted waters for the next 90 days. It all has terrible “burn it down” on the way out feeling. It is playing with fire with our nations security
- Tell me again how U.S. supplied Tomahawks aimed solely at military targets in Russia would represent a dangerous escalation?The latest war crimes from the occupant of the Soviet permanent seat in the @UN Security Council and the President of the Council for the month of October 👇
