Hegseth Impeachment DERAILED—11 Democrats Fail to Show Up!

I examine the 210–203 House vote that sent articles of impeachment concerning Pete Hegseth to committee rather than keeping the matter on the floor. Eleven Democrats did not vote, a margin that could have changed the procedural outcome. I discuss why the committee referral buys time and why the timing of any further action matters amid a changing congressional landscape.

I also assess the diplomatic and security pressures surrounding Ukraine: Abu Dhabi talks, proposed 1,000-for-1,000 or 1,500-for-1,500 prisoner exchanges, and planned U.S. envoy travel to Moscow. Zelensky’s Denmark visit coincided with Copenhagen’s unanimous €645 million defense package, while a suspected object entering Lithuanian airspace from Belarus prompted NATO fighters to scramble. Finally, I look at Germany’s debate over long-range missiles, calls to replenish Ukrainian air defenses, Iranian-Russian weapons cooperation, and the arrest of a U.S. Army officer assigned to a NATO command on Russia espionage charges.
