An announcement that the US has active weapons platforms in orbit has come as the Space Force seeks a $71 billion budget hike.

🌌 The US Space Force is like a self-fulfilling prophecy:

First they announce this:

“…Pentagon has definitively deployed active space-based weapons platforms.”

Then they declare peaceful, untouched and shared Space: “Space is both a battlefield…”

Their counterparts around the world do the same, & these warmongers have brought us one step closer to turning the last frontier into a military conflict zone.

SPACE IS FOR ALL MANKIND - No leadership can change that!

        I don’t even think she was that pro Israel though. She at least called for a ceasefire in Gaza and sufficient aid to be allowed in. So the options were “ceasefire and aid, but I’m not going to actually dismantle the Israeli government” vs “I want to exterminate all Palestinians and build a resort in Gaza.”

          Yeah I never really understood that, obviously Trump is worse for Palestine… and also Venezuela, Iran, Greenland, etc. Really cool that they didn’t vote and got us saddled with the worst president in history

            They wouldn’t have voted either way. I totally believe a major candidate could run 24/7 ads for 6 months leading up the election with the only message of “I am going to kill everyone” and somewhere between 15-30% of the population still wouldn’t vote.

          I doubt it, since every party seems to be right of center.

          I’m gonna assume that whomever downvoted me here either doesn’t live in the US or is butthurt about my only referring to the major parties and not your tankie or blatantly anarchist bullshit.
