I like how america is making a big spectacle over some grunts killed on a blacksite base.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
They had to manufacture some consent to this $100 billion monthly bumper to the MIC because pasing an NDAA over the trillion dollar mark wholesale will raise even more eyebrows on both parties in an election year. So they bank on the these additions and collective amnesia to get out from under that.
Of course no one asks how they are going to pay for it - just what's in it for my district. Then I get letters from my congress critter about the 20 million he got for a defense contractor in support of sabre rattling with China.
Kind of like how those Seals that got reclaimed by Neptune were involced in our not so public meddling in Somalia and not "Iran weapons shipments" from completely the opposite area of where Iran is.
I don't think gaslighting the public like it's 2003 is going to get the same mileage these days.
Shadow wars and proxy wars and black sites and big folders that never get released to the public until every person that could be held accountable is dead is proof we live in a healthy democracy so be sure to vote in the next set of bellhops overseeing our journey on the elevator to hell.
Aint that some shit, when the people you're shooting at fire back?
it's a logistics base for delivering aerial weapons, the pentagon doesn't lie guy...
