I'm not saying this isn't a sign of something, but Surf and Turf nights are fairly common at overseas bases. Sometimes once a week.
EDIT: Pie is pretty much nightly anywhere with real kitchen.

Isn't this an old tweet? Why is there no date on it.

i searched for the username; the tweet is from ~42 hours prior to this lemmy post.
@ickplant Putting soldiers in harms way to distract from the epstein files should get the fat fuck the death sentence.
Pedos or not there is no way the USA would stay out of waging new wars either way, it's literally its bread and butter and can't exist without it. The machine is getting itchy, it needs blood, that simple.
Nixon and Reagan both conspired with hostile foreign governments to win elections and we let both of those guys off the hook. Why would this be different?
Because we've had enough? Because we've learned our lesson?
Or maybe we haven't?
I don't see a whole lot of lesson-learning going on. Except by those who have been taught that when they break laws there isn't punishment

I've been saying that cutting USAID and the nearly million deaths that followed in the subsequent months as a direct result of cutting a program that as much as a couple of his planned ballrooms, should get him hanged slowly at the hague.
Out of everything he's done, this along with rolling back environmental protections will have caused the most harm and suffering to humanity and these are the things getting the least attention.
Imagine having the power to ruin the lives of countless millions of living souls and doing it for no other reason than to prove how "not woke" you are and to add another several cents per share to your donor's investments.

My dad who served in Vietnam looked at this tweet and went silent. My mom is now really upset. I am so tired.

The NY Times says Iran may be offering up a few leaders to be the next Delcy.
Has there been at least a piss weak justification for this new war? Or is he still crapping on about Iran developing a nuclear weapon in the next five minutes? At least the last Iraq war had a good foundation of lies leading up to it.
Fighting Israel's wars is the justification
The lies for Iraq were no better. Everyone knew that it was Bush jr wanting to finish Daddy's war. He had been making noises about it since day one January 20 2001.
It was an easier sell because of 9/11.
No doubt. Most of the world knew they were talking shit about Iraq, but they at least tried for a while and got their stupid Coalition together for the invasion. In the current case with Iran it looks like they're not even trying that.

Not that that made any fucking sense either, mind you.
"We must go after the Afghani terrorists by (checks notes) attacking Iraq!"
Saudi terrorists
It was a different sort of atmosphere. Americans, especially the American right-wing, were consuming a media diet that was 100% fear and paranoia.
Republicans and Republican voters knew that Iraq was all based on lies, and they didn't care. And since they had enough votes in Congress, they pushed forward.
