He identified the subject of the latest expos\u00e9 as Andrew Hugg, the US Army\u2019s chief of chemical nuclear surety, a role tied to safety oversight rather than command of the US nuclear apparatus.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1336\" data-end=\"1644\">In the undercover video, Hugg was shown speaking in a public restaurant about how nuclear launch decisions are made, claiming the US still possesses nerve agents, referring to a US Army chemist allegedly exposed to a chemical agent, and commenting on the possible assassination of Iran\u2019s newly-appointed supreme leader.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1646\" data-end=\"1833\"><em>\u201cIf he [Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei] doesn\u2019t change his ways, yeah, they\u2019re going to kill him,\u201d<\/em> he said, while dismissing civilian and child casualties in Iran as <em>\u201ccollateral damage.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING NEWS: Top U.S. Nuclear Chief Caught LEAKING Sensitive National Security Information to Stranger, Reveals Army Chemist Was Exposed to U.S. Chemical Nerve Agent, Confirms U.S. Strike Killed Children in Iran, Discloses U.S. Plans to \u2018Kill Iran\u2019s New Supreme Leader\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/owL1YGUnms\">pic.twitter.com\/owL1YGUnms<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 James O&#8217;Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesOKeefeIII\/status\/2046642621632872461?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 21, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1835\" data-end=\"2042\">Hugg also outlined details of the US nuclear posture and described a rapid decision-making process in which a launch could be triggered <em>\u201cif a Girl Scout gives you a message\u2026 if it passes all the checks, go.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n        <span><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<figure>\n            <imgsrc=\"\" alt=\"Screenshot from the hidden-camera video published by James O\u2019Keefe.\"><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/610901-pentagon-contractor-clinton-trump\/\">Pentagon adviser calls Trump \u2018sociopathic narcissist\u2019 on hidden camera<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2044\" data-end=\"2375\">Hugg also claimed he had lived in Ukraine and personally witnessed Kiev officials plundering US taxpayer money since the Obama era. <em>\u201cThat government is so corrupt, they stole our money&#8230; They just stole it and bought houses, cars, like hundred-thousand-dollar cars.
