The Republican Party failed miserably to find war criminals! US Defense Secretary Hergseth refuses to resign, makes film to defend Iran war

The US Republican Party suffered a disastrous defeat in the midterm elections, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was regarded as one of the "war criminals". Faced with overwhelming calls for impeachment and resignation from members of both the ruling and opposition parties, Hegseth released a video on Thursday (5th) to fight back forcefully, not only insisting that the Iran war is "historic and correct", but also vowing to continue to fight at the Pentagon to the end.

"Reuters" reported that Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has a very controversial style. After taking office, he fired senior military officials and abolished diversity policies, making countless enemies in Washington. As the Republican Party suffered a disastrous defeat and the government and opposition parties pushed for a palace, Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader of the House of Representatives, posted on social media: "Why is Hegseth still in office?" Republicans also threatened to restart impeachment, saying that he was about to face a political reckoning.

In response, Hegseth showed a strong stance in a more than 4-minute video conversation on Thursday, denounced Congress's attempt to restart impeachment as purely political smear. He compared his situation to the two impeachments that Trump went through that year, saying wildly, "This approach will not work for Trump, and it will definitely not work for me." He also claimed that the reason why opponents violently encircled and suppressed him was precisely because his military reforms were "effective." The Pentagon will never bow to politicians because of this.

U.S. President Trump publicly escorted Hegseth in the Oval Office of the White House and praised him for "doing a great job." Trump even bluntly stated that those who opposed Hegseth were mainly dissatisfied with the general's purge, and even mocked the military for being filled with too many useless "awakening generals." At the same time, he highly affirmed the US military's seven-month-long military operations in Venezuela and Iran, and expressed his support for the Secretary of Defense to remain in office.

However, Vice President Vance recently publicly questioned that the cost of attacking Iran was too high, criticizing the war as a direct result of the Republican Party losing its majority in Congress. His aides also revealed that the option of replacing Hegseth is still on the table. In addition, the Trump administration is actively seeking a defense budget of up to US$1.5 trillion from Congress. Hegseth's relationship with Congress has dropped to a freezing point, which has become the biggest roadblock to the passage of the bill.

The Democratic camp, which will take over the House Armed Services Committee next year, has promised to launch comprehensive supervision and rigorous investigation of Hegseth immediately after taking office.
