Pentagon Secretary - "I'm not gunna get into hypotheticals, I'll only provide what is currently happening in Ukraine."
Reporter - "So what exactly is happening in Ukraine right now?"
Pentagon Secretary - "I'm not gunna speak on what's going on in Ukraine, you'll want to ask Ukraine about that."

WTF?! 🥴

[arnonroyna]

Just know that many people are dying while corrupt individuals are getting extremely rich off of it.

[brianbakker]

Appreciate the question...but like I said...I'm full of shit and won't answer anything.

[basilfoster]

These briefings provide no information at all, just a few talking points and propaganda.

[JiggyGnorrus]

Might as well wheel out a TV and let Max Headroom read out the AI generated talking points

[TaeSikCha]

I wonder what would happen if the person standing at the podium spoke the truth one day

[brianbakker]

So much talking...nothing actually answered...such a fake show of nonsense

[GoogleSpyZon]

Why is Ukraines border and sovereignty more important than America's? Imagine the problems that could be solved if we spent this money domestically.

[linksaiya]

Sounds just like KJP. Same puppeteer, different puppet.

[smurfcatcher]

Within 2 years, we have gone from:

"We will only supply small arms defensive weapons, but no tanks."

Then we give them tanks and APC's

Next: "We will only supplying air defense but no long-range missles"

Then supplying long-range missles and cluster bombs

Next: "Wwe will not give then F-16 fighter jets"

Then give them fighter jets

Next: "We will not support strikes inside of Russia"

Then we support strikes inside of Russia

Next "We will not have any Nato nation troops in Ukraine"

Then it is leaked there are multiple Nato country troops helping inside of Ukraine

Next: "We are only there to help the Ukrainian people stop Russia"

Then Lindsey Graham admits we want to control the trillions of dollars in Ukrains natural resources and keep them from Russia

Next: "We don't want to start a nuclear war with Russia"

well that's still hasn't come to pass yet.

[tcup]

The thing is, Russia lets you come in. That's their big thing. They let you come in for thousands of kilometers. 1944 did this already

[jamescook]

US taxpayer here. Im tired of funding wars. Please stop

[DM-kspj]

What’s the point of these? She didn’t actually answer any of the questions.

[joaoklein]

Sabrina, why don’t you just….dance a little.

[zonewolf]

Why are we always so aggressively postured in these briefings and so adversarial in just stating plain facts? Wouldn't it be effective PR and perhaps even peace-inducing if we just acknowledge that our 'adversaries' are humans with their own internally-justified motives? It doesn't have to be so philosophical, but just like, within the little speculations and passive aggressiveness, wouldn't hurt to say 'well Iran is probably doing this because...' or 'despite the ongoing international war crimes, we will stand by the IDF'. It's not like we don't know how to read history books and how our involvement has played a role in creating these issues.

[TheKhead]

Is Ukraine the 51st state of the United States? Is Israel the 52nd state?

[SVanTha]

she gives me "Ashley" vibes from The Boys.

[brianbakker]

I'm gonna leave it at that...I'm gonna l ave it at that...I don't know anything...sorry...they tell me nothing...I'm here to tell you what you already

[deborahplummer]

Great press briefing with Sabrina Singh. She's brilliant and a good speaker, just wish she'd stop saying 'umm' so much.

[MrMatipid]

All blah, blah, blah with no details. Why bother holding this supposedly, press briefing? Entirely useless.
