Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth loved a line from Marco Rubio’s speech so much that he just now highlighted it on his own social media channel: “Stop quoting laws to men with swords.”
It’s a quote from ancient Roman general Pompey the Great.
I wonder if Mr Hegseth has read enough history to know that Pompey lived by the sword and also died by it?
Pompey was stabbed by an officer of King Ptolemy, his former client.
But seriously, the US administration’s whole “might is right” thing is getting pretty tired.
Who’d have thought the day would come when Asia was peaceful, safe and law-abiding, while the US has become a latter-day Mongol Horde, stomping around the planet, a lawless rogue state given to high-seas piracy and extrajudicial executions?
