HOW THE FUCK does a Russian owned company get a contract to manufacture parts for US military equipment?
“employees at a Russian-owned steel plant in Oregon sometimes bypassed a key test meant to ensure that armor for one of the Army’s most commonly used vehicles could withstand enemy fire”

Good to see nations are recognizing the US has become their enemy... they have to protect themselves from Trump & the GOP.
"As Trump pivots to Russia, allies weigh sharing less intel with U.S.
Members of the so-called Five Eyes spy alliance, as well as Israeli and Saudi officials, fear the identities of foreign assets could inadvertently be shared with Moscow."

A quotation from Fuller, Thomas (1654):
«
If evil Men speak good, or good Men evil of thee; examine thy Actions, and suspect thy self: But if evil Men speak evil of thee; hold it as an Honor, and by way of Thankfulness love them; but upon condition, that they continue to hate thee.

The 1 thing that is not arbitrary about the choice of an #enemy is that it must #exploit #vulnerabilities. The #Trump ads projected a fantasy of #KamalaHarris allowing millions of sex-changed foreigners to take jobs from Americans. This touches, all at once, on #gender, #economic, & #sexual vulnerability. We are unprotected & impoverished & will be replaced by something alien. And this is all orchestrated by a shadowy enemy in the background—in this case, a woman of color who knows how to laugh.
A Leader…initiates #politics by choosing an #enemy. As the #Nazi legal thinker Carl Schmitt maintained, the choice is arbitrary. It has little or no basis in #reality. It takes its force from the decisive will of the Leader. People who watched #Trump’s TV ads…had not been harmed by a #transgender person, or by an #immigrant, or by a #woman of #color. The magic lies in the daring it takes to declare a weaker group to be part of an overwhelming #conspiracy.
That requires presence, which #Trump has always had. His #charisma need not resonate w/you: probably, #Hitler’s & #Mussolini’s would not have reached you, either. But it is nevertheless a talent. To be a #fascist & to call someone else a fascist requires a cunning that is natural to Trump. And in that naming of the #enemy, absurd as it is, we see the second major element of #fascism.
Anyone on the side of #oppressors is my #enemy.
Only bigots both-sides in #genocide. GTFO with your both sides bigot bullshittery.
At a rally in #Tempe, #Arizona, #Trump cast most #journalists as “the #enemy of the people”—a common refrain of his since 2016.
Trump has repeatedly labeled American citizens as enemies; this week he referred to Reps #NancyPelosi & #AdamSchiff, 2 California #Democrats, as enemies “from within.”
His fmr WH chief of staff, #JohnKelly, decided to speak out against Trump after he said he’d use the US #military to “handle” the “enemy from within.”
“And then you’ve got #Trump saying nice things about #Hitler? And sucking up to #Putin? No. He is clearly our #enemy, Putin – a living enemy. And we have to show the courage that the people in the WWII era had.”
…“I look back at all the people that I supported for #president. I voted for a #Republican for president every time…I’m not doing it this time,” said Cowles.
#HuffPo A montage of #Trump fearmongering about the “enemies from within” and ranting that he may use the military to handle “radical left lunatics” if he wins back the White House played.
“So you heard his words coming from him,” Harris said.
Trump is “talking about that he considers anyone who doesn’t support him or who will not bend to his will an #enemy of our country,” she continued. “It’s a serious issue. He is saying that he would use the #military to go after them. Think about this.”
