Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Yeah, sounds good but that's a smokescreen to hide the effort to integrate the militaries

[–] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 11 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I heard about this but I still don't understand how that's feasible

It's not really, but they hasn't stopped them before.

[–] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I mean I don't understand, infrastructurally, how it would work.

Basically they could say we are doing military to military training with them and have our Generals answer to their Generals. Then move that into humanitarian deployments then combat.

I doubt they do humanitarian deployments as much anymore. We went to Venezuela to kidnap their president but didn't send any aid for the recent earthquakes.

I don't believe that it actually entails any hierarchy beyond some new positions which amount to coordinators. It's basically a free pass to allow millitary dollars to be spent through Israel though, except without contracts like someone like Blackwater would need and allows collaboration on all levels at the discretion of military leaders, which would naturally just be a compromised pedophile Trump, who acts as a unitary executive.

it's too little too late and there were venezuelans killed who had just arrived after being deported, those deaths are on Trump.

but there is a us component to aid the situation, lackluster and performative probably.

I also wonder how much of their infrastructure was fucked up by the US illegal kidnapping that is limiting their ability to recover :|

Section 224 of the FY2027 NDAA Chairman’s Mark (H.R. 8800) establishes the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative to integrate U.S. and Israeli military-industrial bases. The legislation directs the appointment of an executive agent to oversee joint research, network fusion, and co-production of advanced technologies including AI, drones, and directed energy. Read the full analysis at Quincy Institute. [123]

Perfect, where do we sign?

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 36 points 3 weeks ago

Make sure to let door hit you on the way out.

No, but Gaza and the West Bank sure do. We should switch the entire fund to rebuilding them and taking back their borders. They can choose whether to keep the trashy bullshit built on their land.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Good. We can take that money and put it towards our OWN national healthcare.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Finally all the blackmail money exceeded the aid and they are now truly independent! /s
