@benlandautaylor „I am going to be honest“ - so normally you are a lying prick? 🤔

I’m going to be honest. If someone randomly murdered my uncle, and was convicted of it in a court of law, but merely released on probation and sentenced to pay $19,000, then I would kill him.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST MARCHES IN BRITISH HISTORY Over half a million on the streets of London against… WAR, GENOCIDE & FASCISM✊🏼

BREAKING: The United States just took over $126 million from Switzerland’s fighter jet account to cover missile shortfalls in the Iran war.
Switzerland did not approve this. Switzerland did not consent. Switzerland had already frozen its Patriot payments after learning deliveries would be delayed four to five years. The US circumvented the freeze.
SRF, Switzerland’s national broadcaster, reported on March 26 that Washington redirected Swiss funds originally allocated for 36 F-35 fighter jets to cover Patriot air defence shortfalls using the Foreign Military Sales pooled trust fund, a structure that allows the Pentagon to reallocate payments across a buyer’s contracts without that buyer’s permission. Swiss armaments chief Urs Loher confirmed the diverted amount is a “low three-digit million” Swiss francs and called the situation “very unsatisfactory.”
The money Switzerland paid for jets is now subsidising a war Switzerland refused to participate in. Bern halted new arms exports to the US on March 20 citing the Iran conflict. Switzerland rejected two US military flyover requests linked to Iran operations. Two hundred years of armed neutrality, and Washington reached into the account anyway.
Here is why.
The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors defending Gulf states in the first four days of Operation Epic Fury per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post last week. Lockheed Martin and Boeing produce 620 Patriot interceptors per year combined. In four days, America burned through eighteen months of global Patriot production. The war has consumed roughly one-third of the entire THAAD missile stockpile. Annual THAAD production does not exceed 100 units.
The cost asymmetry is what makes the depletion irreversible at current production rates. Each PAC-3 interceptor costs $3.9 million. Each Iranian Shahed drone costs between $20,000 and $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Iran manufactures an estimated 10,000 Shaheds per month per Reuters. America produces 620 interceptors per year. Iran builds more drones in a single week than the United States builds interceptors in an entire year.
Every interceptor fired in the Gulf is one that cannot be delivered to Switzerland, Ukraine, Taiwan, Japan, or Poland. The State Department warned allies on March 27 that Patriot deliveries to Ukraine would face disruptions as the Pentagon prioritises Iran per Quiver Quantitative. Senator Chris Murphy said on record: “We’ve been told again and again one reason we can’t provide interceptors for the Patriot system for Ukraine is that they’re in short supply.”
Lockheed signed a framework to quadruple production to 2,000 units per year. That capacity will not arrive for six to seven years. The Pentagon has asked Congress to shift $1.5 billion from other programmes to accelerate procurement per Bloomberg. None of this helps now. The interceptors are depleting now. The allied accounts are being raided now.
Switzerland is considering reducing its F-35 order from 36 to 30 jets and accelerating evaluation of European alternatives per Bluewin and Global Defense Corp. Swiss parliamentarians have called the redirection “an unacceptable violation of procurement sovereignty.” The Swiss parliament is preparing formal hearings.
Switzerland is the canary. A neutral country with two centuries of armed neutrality just had its fighter jet money taken without consent to feed a four-week-old war that burns 18 months of interceptor production every 96 hours.
Every US ally with a pending defence contract should be asking one question: whose account is next?

@Terminatorb0t @En_chinaNews Talked to Jesus, he told me to tell the fronline warriors (🐓) to fuck off and to tell you to also fuck off and leave him alone with your stuff. He told me also to pass on this to you 🖕

@DarrigoMelanie New Kings is about a rotten American society which made „Trump“ possible 👍
English

No Kings isn’t just about Trump…
… it’s about the oligarchs who bought him the election
… the corporations and billionaires bribing him for favors and profiting from his decisions
… the Republicans refusing to put country over party
… and the Democrats protecting the status quo that gave us Trump who are refusing to meet this moment because it will anger their special interest donors.
English

@cwebbonline Donald Trump did this? Fuck off, the dumbfucks who voted for him did this. Trump is only the symptom of a deeply rotten American society. America has a bigger problem than „Trump“.
