AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>In the lead up to the US 2024 election, I made it a sort of policy not to take anyone claiming Donald Trump was "anti-war" seriously; after all, I was conscious during his first presidency and I have a very clear memory of him engaging in nuclear brinksmanship with North Korea via social media, dropping the largest conventional bomb in Afghanistan just to prove he could, and actively *trying* to start a war with Iran - in addition to his material support for the KSA's war in Yemen, scaling up airstrikes and drone attacks in our ongoing wars, as well as a significant increase in American covert military operations which often had disastrous consequences. Perhaps most tellingly, Trump increased US military spending each and every single year during his first four years in office. </p><p>As such I found it pretty laughable when motivated observers, including a few in "independent" media claiming to be progressives, defended the rise of Elon Musk's DOGE initiative by suggesting the Trump regime would find and end "fraud, waste, and abuse" in the Pentagon budget. In so much as I bothered to engage with these arguments, I predicted that neither Trump nor Musk would touch the military budget, or any other part of the US government that's about committing violence against their perceived enemies, including domestically; with the possible exception of an FBI Trump still hates because they investigated him for crimes he absolutely committed. As such, I can't say I was surprised to learn that during a sit-down meeting with noted genocidal fascist warmonger and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump bragged about his intentions to *increase* U.S. military spending to literally a trillion dollars.</p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-trillion-military-budget" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/trump-tr</span><span class="invisible">illion-military-budget</span></a></p><p>Trump Pledges $1 Trillion for US Military While Hitting Working Class With Huge Tax Hike</p><p>"President Donald Trump on Monday publicly backed an annual budget of roughly $1 trillion for the U.S. military as his administration rushed ahead with a destructive tariff scheme that amounts to a major tax increase on American households, with working-class families set to bear much of the pain.</p><p>Speaking to reporters at the White House during a sit-down with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said his administration has signed off on an upcoming military budget in the vicinity of $1 trillion, which would be a record sum. The military budget for the current fiscal year is $892 billion, more than half of the federal government's discretionary budget.</p><p>"Nobody's seen anything like it," Trump said Monday of his $1 trillion budget proposal."</p><p>Given that I see no reason to engage with the absurd and typically disingenuous idea that Trump is somehow not a bog standard American imperialist, I'd like to focus in on the budgetary arguments about fraud and waste that are obfuscating and propping up what is clearly a billionaire nazi bust-out operation being conducted on the US government. If you take a step back and simply look at the argument people defending DOGE are presenting here, the whole game falls apart:</p><p>- Health inspectors, disease specialists, labor board adjudicators, consumer protection departments, food and drug inspectors, IRS officials working to get the super rich to pay the taxes they owe, feeding starving children in conflict zones, Inspector Generals that oversee government officials, Medicaid and SNAP benefits, the social security check that means your grandma isn't living on cat food? Waste, fraud, and abuse. </p><p>- A bloated Pentagon wholly captured by the military industrial complex, that literally cannot pass an audit, is already a source of large-scale fraud and waste, and currently spends more money on "defense" than any other country on earth by a degree that's objectively mind blowing; particularly when you factor in that we're not *officially* involved in a major war at the moment? Vitally important spending and in fact a reason to celebrate!</p><p>Look folks, I'm creeping closer and closer to my fiftieth year on this Earth, so you don't need to tell me that imperialism and obscene military spending is a bipartisan objective in American politics. The critique I'm articulating about Trump's spending on the murder machine could just as easily have been written about every Democrat President in the post-war era. But that's also the point; Downmarket Mussolini, a man who just committed a war crime in Yemen, wholly supports Israel's genocide in Gaza, is openly talking about trying to annex Canada, and whose regime is building support to potentially bomb Mexico, is just another fucking imperialist and none of these nazis give a fuck about fraud and waste - they just want to starve your grandparents and poison your children to pay for tax cuts for the uber rich. </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Pentagon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pentagon</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MilitaryIndustrialComplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MilitaryIndustrialComplex</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/War" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>War</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Propaganda</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Rubes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rubes</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Netanyahu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Netanyahu</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The U.S. government’s expressed commitment to human rights is routinely undermined by its actual commitment to maintaining America’s global military primacy.</p><p>Since the 1970s, Washington has cast itself as a defender of global human rights, when Congress passed laws to bar the U.S. from providing security assistance to human rights violators. </p><p>Yet America’s interest in human rights has long been sublimated to the logic of hegemony, from Cold War containment to the Global War on Terror and beyond. Congress has still never successfully voted to block a weapons sale. <br>(...)<br>This research brief traces the emergence of human rights within U.S. foreign policymaking in the waning decades of the Cold War — alongside Washington’s rise to the top of the global arms trade — and surveys the various U.S. government efforts to codify human rights considerations in the practice of U.S. foreign policy, particularly arms sales, through the Biden administration. This history reveals how American leaders, regardless of political party, have consistently instrumentalized human rights concerns to target perceived adversaries, while tossing aside such concerns when they apply to U.S. partners. </p><p>After Israel invaded Gaza following the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, the Biden administration failed to place any meaningful conditions on weapons sales to Israel, despite Israel’s conduct showing clear violations of international and U.S. law. The Trump administration has since expanded America’s unconditional support for Israel.</p><p>Even as the world becomes increasingly multipolar, the defense establishment remains intent on maintaining U.S. military primacy. In clinging to this pursuit, human rights will remain an afterthought, selectively invoked by U.S. leaders when they do not threaten the military-industrial complex and arms sales."</p><p><a href="https://quincyinst.org/research/under-primacy-weapons-sales-will-always-supersede-human-rights/#" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">quincyinst.org/research/under-</span><span class="invisible">primacy-weapons-sales-will-always-supersede-human-rights/#</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/MilitaryIndustrialComplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MilitaryIndustrialComplex</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Weapons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Weapons</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ArmsSales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArmsSales</span></a></p>

maple<p>I just want to point out something about <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>. He seems to be forgetting what got him in power, and that no U.S. president has ever held the real strings of power. A strongman is really only strong if he has has other strongmen to defend him from all his enemies, foreign and domestic. If those other strongmen (let's take the Secret Service as an example) take to intensely disliking him, OR if they are overpowered by some opposing force, then the jig is up. The way <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> and <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> have been disrespecting U.S. veterans, there's a good chance that a lot of people who used to be very loyal to him are having second thoughts.</p><p>Think about the <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/conspiracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conspiracy</span></a> theories you have heard about the Kennedy assassination. Just as Kennedy was about to take office, outgoing president Dwight Eisenhower gave a farewell speech warning about the <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/MilitaryIndustrialComplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MilitaryIndustrialComplex</span></a>. See <a href="https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/president-dwight-d-eisenhowers-farewell-address" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">archives.gov/milestone-documen</span><span class="invisible">ts/president-dwight-d-eisenhowers-farewell-address</span></a> and/or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg-jvHynP9Y" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=Gg-jvHynP9</span><span class="invisible">Y</span></a></p><p>Some people think that Kennedy failed to heed this warning and was assassinated as a result. Not that many people believe that his assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald (who was himself assassinated before he could go to trial) acted alone. I remember seeing Oswald shot on live television. There were a whole bunch of people around him, supposedly protecting him, and yet Jack Ruby got off a clean shot.</p><p>After Kennedy died, V.P. Lyndon Johnson became president. Johnson was a "hawk" and dramatically increased the U.S. involvement in the VietNam war. Now, who profits from a war? The Military-Industrial complex, that is who. All they care about is making money and often they will sell arms to both sides (indirectly if necessary) just to increase their profits. And Johnson's actions made them a lot of money, at the expense on hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides of the conflict.</p><p>Well, a funny thing has been happening in the last day or two. Trump and <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> have so managed to swing world opinion against the USA that many countries have been cancelling contracts for American-made fighter aircraft, saying they do not trust anything coming out of the USA anymore. That's a lot of money that would have gone to the USA military-industrial complex, that is now going to go to European and other sources instead. And that money will probably never come back.</p><p>Now, who do we have waiting in the wings today? J.D. Vance, who definitely seems like a "war hawk", although I suspect he is more of a paper tiger. So all I am saying is that if I were Trump and Musk, I think I'd be a little worried that they have stepped on an invisible but very real trip wire, and that forces more powerful than them are seeing their money take flight and they don't like it a little bit. They may not have liked Biden or Obama, but at least they were stable and predictable and somewhat pliable. Trump and Musk are none of those things. They THOUGHT Trump would be good for them but, in a "I never thought the Leopards would eat MY face" moment, I think they may be waking up to the fact that they made a terrible miscalculation in supporting Trump.</p><p>The interesting thing about this is that if something does happen to Trump and Musk, that may strengthen the case that all those conspiracy theories surrounding the Kennedy assassination may have had some basis in fact. But if nothing happens, the manufacturers of military equipment are going to take a big hit, and by extension so will the investors who though you could never go wrong investing in a military equipment manufacturer. Of course if Trump foolishly decides to invade Canada, Mexico, Greenland, and the Panama canal, one of the first things those countries will likely try to do in retaliation is bomb the facilities that manufacture the military equipment - and they are in a much better position to do that than some far away country. Much of the manufacturing capacity is in northern states, just a few minutes from the Canadian border by jet!</p><p>I do not pretend to be a prophet, I do not have any inside knowledge, and maybe I'm just a batshit crazy old coot. And I am definitely not wishing that anyone be assassinated (although I suspect there are ways of delivering a message that don't go quite that far). As bad as Trump is, Vance would be 100 times worse. But I remember that old Chinese curse, "may you live in interesting times", and these are definitely interesting times.</p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a></p>
