"Oh no! We're starving while being responsible for starving entire swaths of people in an entire country! Feel bad for us!"
Why are news sites so shit these days? Ran out of memory trying to load all the bloat
Capitalism.
an adblocker goes a long way
They still perform like shit even with uBlock on, and turning off JS makes most sites unusable
firefox's reading mode is a godsend in that respect, for really old computers.
Gotta admit, I've never tried that out. Thanks for the tip!
Trillion dollar military budget and can't even feed our troops. Those bomb companies really know how to squeeze us for every last drop.
They spent the military budget for the year bombing elementary schools in Iran.
Palantir made bank for giving them those coordinates.
Hegseth was just in the news for spending almost 100 billion on lobster and crab and steak.
I'm all for not feeding terrorists. In a perfect world they all shit themselves to death

Good thing we fired all the professionals

From the article
The Pentagon has denied any suggestions of food shortages on board ships and did not comment on the new pictures, directing Newsweek to a series of posts by the U.S. Navy's Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, including one that said: "Recent reports alleging food shortages and poor quality aboard our deployed ships are false."
This quote reads like it's from the Ministry of Truth.
whom are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes
Rations will be cut until morale improves
The pentagon, releasing their own photos next week: behold our delicious and nourishing Potemkin vittles
They volunteered to join
just like 3D print more food they have like a nuclear reactor there
I thought they were going to show a picture of an MRE.
MREs are field supply rations, ie, to places you can’t get logistics. The navy is logistics, therefore, they don’t ship out with MREs. Iirc. I wasn’t in the navy.
Edit: it’s mentioned in this Video when I’m more awake I’ll find the exact place.
As an aside, I feel like I've been seeing more from Newsweek.
I feel like I remember that name from my childhood, but I guess I sort of assumed they folded years ago.
It's not like we're out of food, Krasnov is just stingy
