Austin was clearly hired to this position because of his race. The US is an affirmative action empire that’s obsessed with non-stop military interventionism abroad and pushing anti-white policies at home.
The result is a decaying empire that is becoming more dysfunctional by each passing day.
Indeed, Austin should step down from his position. But his potential exit as Secretary of Defense chief is a band-aid as this system is beyond corrupt and will need a veritable regime change in the form of an America First takeover for things to truly be put back on track.
