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.

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,
