This long-term insanity - #military #spending (along with that for #space #ai #genai etc.) - is also going in the wrong direction while 100s of millions starve and suffer.

Both #US ($1 trillion) and now #EU would rather spend cash on #military #weapons than helping the poor around the world. Or dealing w/ #climatechange ... all the while building #borders to keep out #climate #refugees

South-South relationships etc. is great. The only problem is that the "north" is actively trying to burn everything down - case in point is #US driving #climatechange ; raising interest rates; pouring insane cash into #military and #ai #genai ; being generally crazily profligate.

Looks like this shibboleth is also beginning to topple. So what does the #US do? Take a wrecking ball to #universities #education #childcare What does #EU do? Start spending cash on #military. The rest are not even in the picture. Not to make this a competition among #nations - but would #China share #knowledge better than the US and EU?

So... #China is just that good? Without the #colonialism #imperialism #military #coercion #war ?

And they are able to address #poverty #environment #climate too?

Why is this a bad thing? If #US #EU want to still feel relevant then #innovate #create #work hard... do something FFS instead of whining.

"Powerful people felt comfortable around Epstein because he was one of them. He had the same neoliberal worldview that has dominated the #US #elite since the end of the Cold War. He was a believer in the Washington #Consensus, US #military #hegemony bolstered in the Middle East by the alliance with #Israel, #globalization, the #privatization of government functions..."

Exactly how much of #US #military presence and picking a fight w/ #Venezuela is about the #offshore #oil that #Guyana has been extracting? They did this in #Iraq two decades ago.

Oil and #gas companies did pay a fortune to #Trump and he seems to be delivering on the deal.

#climate #humanrights #justice


Apparently everyone is a little worried about what the #Trump #Junta is planning regarding its force buildup in the #carribbean. Will they invade #Venezuela or not?

And while I can't answer this, I know at least what the #US #military, especially the #navy, is worried about:

Having to EVER AGAIN endure a defeat to #Huthi type forces, who are supported by regional illicit trade networks.

So they want to show the world, they can solve this type of problem. Somewhere.

"A #children’s #museum housed on a #USmilitary base cancelled a planned #storytime #reading celebrating the life of a pioneering 19th-century #female #Jewish #cyclist earlier this year, after the book was flagged under a #military-wide ban on “#DEI” content.

The stated reason was because the #book was about a #woman, its #author, Mary Boone, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

“If they had actually read the book and found out it was about a #Latvian Jewish #immigrant, it would have been a double whammy,” Boone said.

The recently revealed reason for the cancellation is the latest example of how a broad crackdown on #diversity initiatives throughout the U.S. military, under Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth, has pushed out Jewish representation as well."

5. Law enforcement agencies and the #military seem to be respected and trusted partners at the #Disinfo2025 conference, which is co-sponsored by defence tech firms. The level of collaboration and mutual platforming is not something I've ever seen in the #DigitalRights field.

6. With the notable exception of today's last panel with #AccessNow's @epirkova, I have heard hardly anyone discussing impacts on #FreeExpression and Access to Information rights or other human rights such as #privacy.


Brian Tyler Cohen and national security expert Ned Price discuss the announcement of the Trump administration that it is inviting a foreign government, Qatar, to create a military training facility on American soil in Idaho and the national security concerns this announcement elicits.

"Ordinarily, this is nothing unique as such partnerships exist between allies, but Trump promised his base a racist AMERICA FIRST agenda while promoting a Muslim ban and a campaign to stop allowing 'invaders' (people of color) from 'poisoning the blood' of America. Well, nobody told Israel, Qatar, the Gulf States, and Russia. In fact, Melania Trump admitted today she has an 'open channel of communication' with President Putin."

"Qatar, which Trump accused of funding 'terrorism at a very high level' in 2017, is now building an Air Force facility in Idaho in 2025. Oh, what a difference a $400 million private jet and a $5.5 billion Trump resort make."

FURIOUS Retired General DESTROYS Trump’s Military STUNT

#Trump #Hegseth #Military


"In keeping with the nonpartisan tradition of the armed services, the #military leaders sat mostly stone-faced through #Trump’s politicized remarks, a contrast from when rank-and-file #soldiers cheered during Trump’s speech at Fort Bragg this summer."

So…this is it. The end of everything as we know it. The escalation that we’ve feared.

“Full force.”

Portland is about to become ground zero for live rounds and the civil war between fascism and everything that is good.

I’m very, very frightened for what is upon us here. In my own backyard, where kids are playing and people are walking by the river. The propaganda is insanity.

💔😭

Before 800 generals and admirals summoned to #Quantico, #Trump delivered operational guidance for #domestic #military deployment. The speech outlined cities as “training grounds,” a Quick Reaction Force for “civil disturbances,” and new rules of engagement authorizing retaliatory force against #civilians. Chicago was named specifically. The #doctrine marks a strategic pivot from #overseas operations to what Trump called “the #enemy from within.” Americans are now the enemy not #russia #china


“The president just said he told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that ‘we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,’ referring to urban areas within the United States.” (NYT) #Trump #Hegseth #military #Maga


the military already has an enlistment issue and this is going to make it worse. The disrespect towards our #military is mind boggling


Washington Post reveals the endgame. #Trump will personally address the #800 #generals #Hegseth summoned, framing #domestic #military action as #patriotic duty. His NBC interview preview—calling it “esprit de corps” and discussing “how well we’re doing militarily”—masks the real agenda now confirmed by #Pentagon sources: unveiling a new #nationaldefense strategy that pivots from #China to #homeland #defense.” In other words, co opting the US military as his private #gestapo /1


#Politicians in the #EU and other countries are concerned about the #economy and #military, so more money is to be pumped into these areas.

#Nature, which really urgently needs more support, continues to be rigorously plundered beneath the surface, and above ground, its products are molecularly tailored to satisfy human #greed for more #profit.

It is a very sad picture that we are presenting in today's world.


BM1 Holden, who oddly shares his last name with my son’s first name. Just to make things weirder, he also has a dog named Rafa, and my last name is Raffa… so somehow we seem to be cosmically connected.

"Trump is going full fascist early because he is weak and unhealthy. I think his inner circle realizes this, which is why they're trying to get as much done as quickly as possible and go full authoritarian for Vance to have as much power as possible."

"Trump is trying to normalize the militarization of our country. This is where it starts, not where it will end. Trump is dropping the pretense of abiding by the rule of law. ...

This manner of operation makes it clear that it’s not about democracy and the American people; it’s about Trump and protecting Trump."

#Military & #police are merging in most countries

In appearance, weaponry, and their view of the people they are send against

And in tactics. #counterinsurgency or #COIN strategies, developed to oppress #resistance against military #occupation , are used against citizens

It is not the name that makes the difference btw military & police

It is if they see you as citizens or foe, as human being or as a legitimate target

The difference if #dissent is seen as legitimate or as crime

Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in #Ukrainian hands.

With Washington’s back and forth on #military aid to #Ukraine, one of the few sources of U.S.-Ukrainian partnership that Ukraine can rely on is beer.

Do you want to be a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army?

It's easy, you just need to be a tech bro.

The US Army continues to become such a joke. They are going to get bulldozed in their next conflict.

#Iran says it launched attack on #US forces at Qatar’s #AlUdeidAir Base

Iran launched a missile attack Monday on a US #military base in #Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its #nuclear sites.

The announcement was made on state TV as martial music played. A caption on screen called it “a mighty & successful response by the armed forces of Iran to America’s aggression.”

Explosions were reported near a #US #military #base in #Qatar Monday after #Iran vows to retaliate for #Trump’s assault on #nuclear sites. The development coincided with a warning from the US #Embassy in Qatar’s capital, #Doha, urging American citizens there to shelter in place. Qatar’s govt on Monday also closed its airspace & suspended flights as a “precautionary measure” while the #MiddleEast braces for a potential expansion of the fighting between #Israel & Iran.
