Sterk melding i The Guardian av Simon Tisdall:

"As Team Trump wage unceasing war on Iran, evangelical nationalists are destroying any moral world order we once had"

Tisdall tar for seg Pete Høgseth og Trump.
Og påpeker rollen de tillater for kristennasjonalister i USA.

Med krigen mot Iran som eksempel på språkbruken av Hegseth og Trump, så kaller Tisdall dette en moralsk fallitt, som ødelegger verdensordenen vi er vant med.

A very dangerous person’: alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in carnage of Iran war

Utdrag

The defence secretary attends Pilgrim Hill Reformed Fellowship, a church linked to the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, a denomination co-founded by the pastor Doug Wilson, who has openly advocated a theocratic vision of society in which wives should submit to their husbands and women should be denied the vote. Wilson recently led a worship service at the Pentagon at Hegseth’s invitation.

Robert P Jones, president and founder of Public Religion Research Institute thinktank in Washington, said: “This is not one or two comments. It’s not a kind of one-off behaviour. This is like a longstanding publicly demonstrated orientation that Hegseth has. It’s not just a glorification of violence but a glorification of violence in the name of Christianity and civilisation.”

Pete Hegseth sine tatoveringer

 Pete Hegseth er valgt av Trump til å bli forsvarsminister.
Da gravesdet, og spesielt i Hegseths tatoveringer.

Reuter om Pete Hegseth sine tatoveringer:

Utdrag:

"Hegseth, Gaither wrote, had a worrying tattoo on his bicep with the inscription "Deus Vult." A search online suggested to him it was a Christian expression associated with right-wing extremism. "Deus Vult" is a Latin phrase meaning "God Wills It," a rallying cry for Christian crusaders in the Middle Ages.

Gaither included a photo of Hegseth, who was then a Fox News host, shirtless, showing another tattoo of the Jerusalem Cross. That cross has a long history in Christianity but has lately been co-opted by some far-right groups as a symbol of the fight for Western civilization."

En kristenkonservativ  ekstremist?
Tatoveringene var nok til at han ble tatt ut av tjeneste i Nasjonalgarden ved innsettingen av Joe Biden som president i 2021.
