Hegseth's western civilization speech draws ridicule
Original: Hegseth's western civilization speech mocked
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a speech invoking western civilization, and the address is being widely mocked online. Critics seized on the rhetoric as grandiose and ideologically charged for a defence secretary, with commentators sharing clips and deriding his framing. Supporters have defended the speech as a straightforward statement of American and allied values.
Why now: The speech's sweeping civilizational rhetoric struck many as unusual for a Pentagon chief, prompting widespread mockery and debate.
