So I imagine Trump's not going to like what German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius had to say about the request to send more ships: "We did not start this war. What does the world expect, what does Donald Trump expect from a handful or two handfuls of European frigates to achieve there in the Strait of Hormuz, which the powerful American Navy cannot manage alone? It is not our war; we did not start it." #DE #Germany #BorisPistorius #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #Shipping #Navy #Trump #EpicFail

4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes. Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on. A Judge ruled she needs to file a worker’s comp claim. For rape. They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth. Elsie’s story must be told: https://www.stripes.com/branches/navy/2026-08-25/lawsuit-workers-comp-sexual-assault-navy-ship-22658787.html #uspol #rape #rapeculture #fascism #freepress #pentagon #navy

Hundreds of billions of #TaxpayersMoney all being spent to feed one man’s ego A new class of #warships that #Trump says will anchor a “golden fleet” for the #US #Navy is expected to cost at least 50% more than estimated earlier, acc/to a govt report released Wednesday. The first planned “Trump-class” battleship, the USS Defiant, is likely to cost $23.4 billion, $8 billion more than the Navy initially indicated. #narcissism

Hey, do y'all remember when the Secretary of Scotch Pete #Hegseth was roaming the seas with his bros in the #Navy and blowing up fisherman for fun? I know it seems a lifetime ago, in this, the age of the Kakistocracy Firehose. Turns out, it was all for naught. Cocaine prices, purity, and supply have not diminished, in fact, prices are going down at the wholesale market. (Good news for the Venture Capital set!) Honest to Bob, these failsons are so absurd I'm beginning to doubt any of this is real. Maybe I'm in a coma...although man, I don't know if I'm creative enough to come up with *waves hands around* all of this. wapo archive past paywall:

Yes. It is real. He actually posted it. (Context: Blue Angels, US Navy precision flight team, flew above beachgoers in Florida and jet wash, the kinetic energy of flight, hit the beachgoers. The flyover is in violation of the law, Navy policy and basic understanding of pilot responsibility for anyone older than 5.) The flyover: https://youtu.be/woBtW5KSwWk Kegsbreath’s post: https://xcancel.com/PeteHegseth/status/2077747620500439435#m#USpol #reckless #navy #shame
