White House Hangs Hegseth Out to Dry for Rogue Arms Move; The Daily Beast, July 9, 2025

, The Daily Beast; White House Hangs Hegseth Out to Dry for Rogue Arms Move

[Kip Currier: Regarding Trump's statement (see below) "[Putin is] killing too many people", how many is "too many"? The callousness of this statement is striking but not surprising.]

[Excerpt]

"On Tuesday, Trump was asked about the U.S. resuming sending key weapons to Ukraine as it battles the ongoing invasion spearheaded by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Putin is not... he’s not treating human beings right,” Trump said. He’s killing too many people. So we’re sending some defensive weapons to Ukraine, and I’ve approved that.”

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins then asked Trump who ordered the pause last week. He sidestepped a direct answer, instead asking, “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?” Hegseth, who was seated next to the president, remained silent."
