Give it up. They're not going to make it available. It'll confirm the commission of #warcrimes, and they can't have that. There's no way #PeteHegseth is going to let that happen.

The Secretary of War just said "Our chaplains are chaplains, not emotional support officers."

Historian: US Escalation Against Venezuela Isn’t About Drugs — It’s About Maduro

https://murica.website/2025/12/historian-us-escalation-against-venezuela-isnt-about-drugs-its-about-maduro/

Lawmakers are using the sprawling policy bill to demand the #Pentagon hand over unedited videos of strikes against alleged drug-smuggling boats near #LatinAmerica. The bill restricts a quarter of #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth’s travel budget until #Congress receives the footage.

#Trump #Hegseth #law #criminal #murder #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #Congress #WarPowers #Venezuela #oil #InternationalLaw #House #Senate #legislation

So, blackout drunk #PeteHegseth , #SecretaryOfWarCrimes , shares even more video for this illegal regime's future crimes against humanity trials! #Politics

#petehegseth #defensebill #Venezuela

This is good , or at least partially good , I hope people can watch the videos;

“ The Senate gave final passage to an annual military policy bill Wednesday that will authorize $901 billion in defense programs while pressuring Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to provide lawmakers with video of strikes on alleged drug boats in international water near Venezuela. ”
