In 2024, the first earth-shattering thunder of the United States will come, the world's most powerful US military, which originally had a "heart of disobedience" behind its back, putting private interests above national interests, and now things are getting bigger.
On December 22, local time, U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin, who is second only to Biden in the U.S. ** team system, had complications after medical procedures and was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a military hospital near Washington on January 1.
The problem is between January 1st and January 5thThe dignified U.S. Secretary of Defense was admitted to the ICU ward for 5 days, and it was not until the evening of January 5 that the Department of Defense took the initiative to issue a notice that Biden did not know that his Secretary of Defense had been lying in the ICU ward for 5 days
Just imagine, if the United States is suddenly attacked militarily in the first 5 days of 2024, or Biden suddenly wants to start a war with foreign countries, Biden calls the Secretary of Defense, only to find that Austin has already been lying in the ICU ward, and there is no time to listen to Biden's beeping at this time. It's just a hypothesis, but even just thinking about it makes me feel like it's embarrassing.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin lay in the ICU ward for 5 days, not only did the United States ** Biden not know, but the U.S. Congress did not know, and what is even more outrageous is that the Pentagon's No. 2 person, Deputy Secretary of Defense Hicks, also did not know the above situation in the first place
It is said that the U.S. Department of Defense has announced on January 5 that Secretary of Defense Austin has been lying in the ICU ward, but as of January 8, local time, the Department of Defense has not announced Austin's specific condition. Anyway, at least nominally, Austin is also the US Secretary of Defense.
Speaking of outrageous, naturally many people will ask, isn't the US Deputy Secretary of Defense Hicks still there, although Deputy Secretary Hicks did not know about Austin lying in the ICU ward for the first time, but it was not too late to know about it on January 2. It turns out that the bigger joke is coming:
Deputy Secretary of Defense Hicks also did not inform the United States of Austin lying in the ICU ward about Austin lying in the ICU ward, although Deputy Secretary of Defense Hicks had been on vacation in Puerto Rico until January 6.
For five days, the Americans had no idea who was in charge of the Pentagon, and for seven days, the US Secretary of Defense did not stay in the Pentagon, in fact, one was lying in the ICU ward of the hospital and the other was lying on a beach chair in Puerto Rico
It is worth mentioning that although US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin issued an apology statement on January 6, saying that he was willing to take full responsibility, he himself has so far refused to submit his resignation.
