Europe : Si le réarmement mondial paraît imparable, il est surtout contreproductif: Au milieu de l'incertitude qui caractérise notre époque, une tendance semble se dégager très nettement : le réarmement militaire et la hausse des budgets de défense à l'échelle planétaire. Selon un rapport, publié le 10 mars dernier, par l'Institut international de recherche sur la paix de (…)

While leveraging global economic choke points to advance one’s own interests is certainly preferable to deploying tanks or launching missiles, such leveraging of interdependence is not without costs. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/04/21/world/weaponization-can-the-global-economy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #us #russia #china #trade #globaleconomy #defense #supplychains
US Secretary of #Defense Pete #Hegseth has shared plans for a military strike on Yemen not only with US officials and a journalist via #Signal, but also with his family and lawyer. In any country based on justice and integrity, we cannot imagine such a person not resigning or getting his resignation. #Signalgate

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared information on forthcoming U.S. airstrikes on Yemen in a private Signal chat group that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, The New York Times reported Sunday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/21/world/politics/us-defense-hegseth-signal-chat/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #defense #petehegseth #signal #yemen #houthis #donaldtrump #usmilitary
The dismissals & turmoil around the inspector general’s investigation have raised tensions & prompted talk of more resignations, according to current & former #defense officials.
Among those considering leaving are Mr. Kasper, #Hegseth’s chief of staff, who helped lead the leak investigation that resulted in his colleagues’ dismissal but has not been implicated in wrongdoing, according to senior defense officials.
Stebbins started the review in response to a #bipartisan request from Sen Roger Wicker of MS, the #Republican chair of the #ArmedServices Cmte, & the committee’s ranking #Democrat, Sen Jack Reed of RI.
Beyond the controversy of the #Signal chat, #Hegseth’s office has been shaken by the sudden firings of Caldwell, Selnick & Colin Carroll, all top advisers to the #defense secy. They were escorted from the #Pentagon last week after being accused of leaking sensitive info.
“The objective of this evaluation is to determine the extent to which the secretary of #defense & other #DoD personnel complied with DoD policies & procedures for the use of a commercial messaging application for official business,” the acting inspector general, Steven Stebbins, said in a notification letter to #Hegseth.
It’s not clear whether Mr. Stebbins’s review has uncovered the #Signal chat that included Hegseth’s wife & other advisers.
Parlatore, who has been #Hegseth’s personal atty for the last 8 yrs, was commissioned as a Navy commander in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps about a week before the Yemen strikes were initiated.
In an interview before rejoining the military, Parlatore told NYT that he would work w/Hegseth’s office to improve training for the military’s uniformed lawyers.
Hegseth’s brother Phil works inside the #Pentagon as a liaison to #DHS & as a snr adviser to the #defense secy.
