The Pentagon has unveiled its secret weapon: two idiotic influencers | Arwa Mahdawi

Jake and Logan Paul were invited to give a motivational speech. Just don't let them get involved with military policy

We're now approaching month seven of a war against Iran that Donald Trump repeatedly assured us would be over in a matter of weeks. Prices are rising, troop morale is plummeting, and there is little evidence things will improve.

The situation is so desperate that the decision makers at the Pentagon have decided to bring out the big guns. I'm not talking about nuclear weapons, although Trump recently threatened to blow the entire nation [of Iran] up". No, I'm talking about influencers Jake and Logan Paul, who are famous for doing idiotic stunts on YouTube and getting hit in the face during boxing matches. Last Thursday, Pete Hegseth's Department of Defense or whatever they're calling it these days (the Department of War Crimes?) welcomed the Paul brothers to Washington DC to meet with our warriors" and deliver a motivational speech. In response, former Republican congressman and air force officer Adam Kinzinger wrote, We aren't a serious country at the moment." That about sums it up.
