RE
Vance is as unfit as Trump

#JDVance on #SignalGate chat wanted to delay the #houthi attack, bc only 4% of the cargo ships are threatened in the area are US, #EU has many more

So basically #Vance was saying 'who cares about #Europe, we (#MAGA) don't'

#StephenMiller texted (confirmed) that #Trump did give the YES to attack, but #Vance was kinda descenting

⭕Notice that #Trump was not there? He never is, that's how he protects himself, #plausibledeniability

@bespacific
That date, 20250414, 4/14 in USlish, 14th of April for others, with Trump and the El Salvadore ruler normalising forced disappearances by the government, marked the end of #PlausibleDeniability for Trump's fascism and the #EndOfAmericanDemocracy as a tradition IMO.

It's just a marker, some chatter by an con-artist, a Nigerian prince needing your help to move his inheritance, Franklin's reaver, showing the bounds have been breached.

It's not news that U.S. corporations are profiting from the destruction caused by U.S. military actions, directly or indirectly (in #Gaza currently the demolition contractor is vassal/client state #Israel). This profit-making often occurs through military contracts, logistics, and reconstruction that follows war and occupation.

Taking #Blackwater and the Nisour Square massacre in #Iraq as an example, these "contractors" (mercenaries) operate in a legal gray area, with little accountability. Their actions, even accidental ones, could escalate the conflict. Not to mention it's an industry driven by profit, which incentivizes prolonging conflict, not ending it.

1953: Iran

"After the United States established the CIA in 1947, it began to use the agency to #overthrow or prop up foreign governments in a much more covert way. Before WWII, the United States didn’t try to hide its interventions in foreign governments. But with the onset of the Cold War, the United States became much more concerned about hiding its actions from the Soviet Union, Kinzer says.

"'In the 1950s, at the height of the Cold War, it was a priority for President Eisenhower and [Director of Central Intelligence] Allen Dulles to assure that America always had #PlausibleDeniability,' he says. 'Eisenhower was probably the last president who believed that you could do these things and nobody would ever find out.'

"In 1953, the CIA orchestrated a coup of Iran’s #democratically elected prime minister, #MohammadMosaddegh, in order to consolidate power with Iran’s shah (or king), #MohammadRezaPahlavi. Declassified CIA documents claim the coup—known internally as Operation Ajax—was designed to prevent possible 'Soviet aggression
in Iran, but Iranian-American historian Ervand Abrahamian has argued the real motivation had more to do with securing U.S. #oil interests."
