US-Stützpunkte in Deutschland: Was ein Truppenabzug bedeuten würde

Wie sicher sind die deutschen US-Stützpunkte unter Trump? Laut Medienberichten überlegen die USA, 35.000 Soldaten abzuziehen - fast alle US-Truppen in Deutschland. Verloren ginge auch ein Wirtschaftsfaktor. Von Oliver Bemelmann.

#Biden and the #USArmy tried to build a dock in #Gaza, and wasted $230 million for a PR stunt to just see themselves humiliated by their own incompetency. The dock was an embarrassing failure:

Now Trump's #US want's to build a series of his "extremely successful" casinos there? And with the help of the same US Army?

What could possibly go wrong? 🤣

(If you don't want the sticky embarrassment of Trump's actions, you've got to do something about it.)

"The two men who carried out apparent terror attacks on New Year’s Day — killing 15 people by plowing a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans, and detonating a Tesla Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas — both had U.S. military backgrounds, according to the Pentagon.

From 1990 to 2010, about seven persons per year with U.S. military backgrounds committed extremist crimes. Since 2011, that number has jumped to almost 45 per year, according to data from a new, unreleased report shared with The Intercept by Michael Jensen, the research director at the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, or START, at the University of Maryland.

Military service is also the single strongest individual predictor of becoming a “mass casualty offender,” far outpacing mental health issues, according to a separate study of extremist mass casualty violence by the researchers.

From 1990 through 2023, 730 individuals with U.S. military backgrounds committed criminal acts that were motivated by their political, economic, social, or religious goals, according to data from the new START report. From 1990 to 2022, successful violent plots that included perpetrators with a connection to the U.S. military resulted in 314 deaths and 1,978 injuries — a significant number of which came from the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City."

Happy #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth From the Army That Brought You the #TrailOfTears

After 170 years of armed attacks, #ForcedRelocations, #EthnicCleansing, and #genocide of #NativeAmericans, the #USMilitary wants to celebrate.

"'The Army was, bottom line, an instrument of a settler colonial empire that was determined to convert Native lands into private property for mostly white settlers,' said Jeffrey Ostler, professor of history emeritus at the University of Oregon and author of 'Surviving Genocide: Native Nations and the United States From the American Revolution to Bleeding Kansas.' 'That was its mission: to carry out a federal government policy that, in practice, often became a genocidal war.'"
