Pentagon sends thousands of Marines to Middle East - Lemmy.World

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is sending an amphibious assault ship, the USS Tripoli, and its Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East, a senior U.S. official confirmed to Axios on Friday. Why it matters: The deployment will add thousands of Marines, several warships, and F-35 fighter jets to support those already in the region, the U.S. official said. archive article: https://archive.is/Cqyia#selection-601.0-617.150 [https://archive.is/Cqyia#selection-601.0-617.150]

This is the mission creep of this war. No clear objectives no exit strategy. Send more ships more troops.

Gotta have a war going so no one talks about Epstein.

No better way to distract from raping hundreds of children than by murdering a few thousand brown ones

Not all of the American children will be brown, but they’re probably poor and they will be praised for their bravery so people don’t feel as bad,

Without blowing another big hole in our budget, people might get the idea that we should start taxing the Epstein class to fund things like childcare, healthcare, education, scientific research, feeding, clothing and housing all our people, and updating/fixing our infrastructure here at home.

There is always going to be money to pay for bullshit like this in “defense” of 'merica, but anything done for actual people IN America will have to be means tested and always up for getting cut by the likes of idiots that thought “doge” was a good idea.
