USA: Hegseth puts the head of military secret service DIA at the door

As a US government agent said on Friday (local time), the head of the military secret service DIA, Lieutenant General Jeffrey Kruse, loses his post. Kruse will “no longer serve as a slide director”. The government representative, who wanted to remain anonymous, did not name a reason.

In June, the intelligence agency annoyed the Trump government with an analysis of US air attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. The military intelligence service – with an English name Defense Intelligence Agency – had come to the conclusion in a secret but public first assessment that the air strikes had only thrown the Iranian nuclear program back by a few months. US President Donald Trump, on the other hand, said that the attacked nuclear facilities were “completely destroyed”.

Now slide chef Kruse was fired. Also on Friday, the dismissal of the previous head of the U.S. Marine’s reserve, Vice Admiralin Nancy Lacore, and the head of the naval border for special inserts, counteradmiral Milton Sands, became known.

Since Trump’s took office in January, numerous high -ranking military and secret service representatives have been fired. So it hit Charles “CQ” Brown in February. The head of the NSA intelligence service, General Timothy Hagh, as well as the tips of Marine and coast guard, were also released over the course of the months. Just a few days ago, Air Force boss David Allvin announced his premature retreat without giving reasons.

Pentagon boss Hegseth said that Trump has the right to choose his military leadership. However, the opposition Democrats warn of a possible political capture of the US armed forces obliged to neutrality to party politics.
