Agh, this is what came to my mind (with less details) when I thought how a petty psychopath might feel about some ragged rebels on the other side of the globe potentially making him look less royal....
"At least 6 bombers now at #DiegoGarcia in Indian Ocean, nearly a third of all nuclear-capable B-2s in #US arsenal;..."
... I very strongly hope still that the "nyclear-capable" is just a coincidence...

"Signalgate is an embarrassing exercise in ‘Mother, may I?’ journalism, revealing how the government’s convoluted system of secrecy has confused the press about what it can or should publish. The real victim here is the public.
No one involved in the Signal text affair comes out looking good. Not Trump’s top national security officials discussing an imminent U.S. military strike on a public app, outside of the secure channels that taxpayers shelled out billions to set up.
Not the rest of the government (including Congress) that can’t seem to explain or even understand the basic rules of the secrecy regime it put in place and is supposed to oversee.
Not Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg, who explicitly waited for President Trump’s permission to report on the texts, even though the attack on the Houthis had already taken place over a week prior.
And not the news media overall that showered Goldberg with praise for deferring to the government while propagating the falsehood that publishing what the government deems “classified” is illegal.
This is how our democracy dies: in deference.
Goldberg has said he decided not to publish the actual text messages he received until Trump and his flunkies claimed they weren’t “classified.” In basing his decision on the government’s stamp of approval rather than on clear public interest, Goldberg smells more like a bureaucrat than a journalist."

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered additional forces to the Middle East, including the Carl Vinson carrier strike group and aircraft, as tensions with Tehran are increasing over its nuclear program. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/02/world/pentagon-aircraft-carrier-iran-tensions/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #defense #petehegseth #us #middleeast #iran #houthis #yemen #redsea #irannuclearprogram #donaldtrump
That's 142 killed per-day during the study period. An underestimate, because this ignores all the non-elderly adult male civilians killed.
Even if we ignore all deaths that have occurred since June 2024, & divide the figure by all days through today, that's 71 civilian deaths per day.
The Lancet estimates 64,260 #Palestinians were killed from October 2023 through June 2024. The study indicates ~59.1% of these were #women, #children & #elderly (37,978).

We can take this as a minimum measure of civilians killed by #Israel.
During #apartheid, South African armed forces killed 69 civilians in the #SharpevilleMassacre. The world was shocked. This event is still taught in #history classes.
On average, #Israel massacred more than 70 #Palestinian civilians every day for the past 18 months.

„(…) the real disgrace in “Signalgate” was not the inclusion of a journalist in sensitive conversations, it is the continued bombing of Yemen without congressional authorization, with all the human consequences it entails (…).“

The White House has said that U.S. strikes in Yemen in March killed the top Houthi missile expert, but the U.S. military has so far declined to confirm the death, and the individual's identity remains unclear. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/01/world/politics/us-houthi-missile-expert/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #houthis #yemen #redsea #middleeast

Trump should announce he will give a live television broadcast to the nation, where he will deliver a major announcement, without saying what it will be.
Countries around the world, which have taken advantage of America for years, will cower in fear that Trump might announce they will be invaded by the great power of the American military.
