US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has mentioned intervention in Kosovo and other countries to protect against the initiative for his dismissal.

He has said that in any of these interventions the US has made, the Secretary of Defence has not been fired.

Hegseth has named the attempt to sack him as a political spectacle and a personal manifesto driven by egos and discontent.

The House of Representatives is expected to hold a procedure vote Tuesday, which will show how many republics are willing to turn their backs on Hegseth. This vote is just the first step, and it will determine whether the Chamber will examine the download articles or whether the republican leadership will manage to halt the initiative before it goes for the lawmakers’ vote.

At a rare media conference at the Pentagon, Hegseth described Republican Congressman Thomas Massie as a defeated and dissatisfied lawmaker who, according to him, does not exercise real oversight. Massie on Monday presented eight points for Hegseth’s dismissal, while earlier this year she lost her preliminary elections within the Republican Party.

Hegseth reiterated that he has led legitimate and successful military operations and has said no defence secretary has been fired for that.

Not once, with or without a resolution on the competencies of war. Not under Reagan in Lebanon, not under Clinton in Kosovo, not under Obama in Iraq and Syria, not under Biden in Iraq and Syria. That’s the standard. It’s never been fired, Hegseth said.
