Anyway, while the US is starting wars for oil in 2026 (embarrassing), bombing schools, disrespecting Africa, cancelling foreign aid, trying to run 1800s style colonialism, China is increasing trade, and doing this:

Trumpβs lies are often a tell, addressing something heβs feeling vulnerable about.
Under that interpretation, βvirtually unlimited supply of weaponsβ means the depletion is real and serious, most likely with air defense interceptors the biggest concern.

Yesterday, The Sheriffs, MPD and law enforcement brutally put down a peaceful anti-ICE protest outside of the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis.
There has been little to no coverage of what is happening in Minneapolis since Trump's supposed stand down, which is why we need to spread the word.
"He [Trump] is losing control of the decision to escalate... He can cut his losses now, pay a political price, try to stop the war, even though it would be a failure. Or he play for the long run and become Lyndon Johnson in the Vietnam War and face a more disastrous political outcome." - Robert Pape

Wait, but they don't actually deny Hegseth's claim. The statement from the org is that all kids will still be welcome, not that all kids will have the dignity of self-determination.
Unless the org states it will continue to honor self-identity for best health & justice outcomes, it's just shiny PR.
Regime change requires persistent presence in the area and working to rebuild the local government. Killing the country's leaders and then saying "it's not my job" to help restore peace isn't regime change, you're intentonally destabilizing the middle east to start another 20 year war.
