President Donald Trump fired Chair of the Joint Chiefs Gen. C.Q. Brown on Friday night, and said he intends to dismiss the Navy’s top admiral and the Air Force’s second in command — an unprecedented shakeup of the Pentagon’s top brass that will trigger ripple effects throughout the military.

Trump, in a Truth Social post, said he was nominating retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine to take Brown’s place. Caine is a partner at Shield Capital, a venture capital firm.

Trump also has claimed Caine donned a ‘MAGA’ hat during their 2018 meeting in Iraq, which is against military regulations.

Ive seen bigger protests over a library closing than what america has shown with their democracy falling. You let your leader run his mouth about other countries, prepare to hear shit about your own!

Collective punishment is a war crime.

Says someone who lives in another country. Big words from someone whose only source of info is the corrupt media.

What do you know about what you’ve seen? What exactly have you seen?

You don’t know shit.

whose only source of info is the corrupt media.

Because people from other counties can't directly access or communicate with anyone from the US and their media is so biased?

Even as a citizen, you're relying on media. It might be direct through people you know, but you're still using media. It's the quintessential meaning of the word.

I haven't watched official news on TV in like 20 years and I've never been to the US, but it's pretty lame to pretend as if medialiterate people couldn't get a good idea of what's going on in another supposedly somewhat developed nation which isn't (quite yet) censoring shit like NK.

Because the US is so vast and comprised of so many states and such a big actor on the world stage, a well read foreigner can easily be more educated on what's going on in the US than some midwest local who doesn't even criticise a single news source he watches and basically has Fox on all the time.

Fox News wasn't allowed to call itself news here in Finland. Well, it would've been legal, but through what an independent union of advertisers, the union told Fox they can call themselves "news" OR they can have ads in Finland. Guess which they chose?

Anyway, you're just making a bad point. Kinda like "oh you googled it did you?". That's how you research things. You start with a search engine. Imagine snarkily saying "what, and you looked that up in a library?" and have it have the meaning "lol can't be true because anyone can write books lol"

It's about what I haven't seen

You talk a lot for someone who doesn't know shit about me!

Please Google OpSec. You Europeans are so ignorant.

Well I don't see anything

I don't care what you see. Lol. None of us care what you see or don't see. Get some perspective and shut up.

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago
