US President Donald Trump signed the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law Thursday, completing the passage of the largest military spending bill in US history—$901 billion, or over $1 trillion when combined with supplemental funding passed earlier this year.
The Senate voted 77-20 on Wednesday to pass the bill. The Democratic leadership, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Minority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois, voted for the bill. They were joined by Senators Mark Kelly of Arizona and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, both of whom released a video last month calling on military personnel to disobey illegal orders—as Trump was sending the US military on a murder spree off the coast of Latin America.
Citing Trump’s statements about using troops to shoot protesters in America, Slotkin invoked the legacy of the Nuremberg tribunals, which convicted Nazi leaders for war crimes and crimes against peace. But when it came time to vote, this invocation was revealed to be completely meaningless. Slotkin voted to hand Trump the resources to pursue his military adventure against Venezuela…
You then certainly agree that essentially all western media, given its support of Israel’s genocide, is not reliable and shouldn’t be listened to? Or those standards are only to be applied to the evil leftists?
Calling the CCP leftists is amusing. They’re totalitarian state capitalists, Han nationalists and imperialists.
China doesn’t have colonies and hasn’t waged a war in 40 years, hilarious that you’d call them imperialistic likely coming from a western nation.
Han nationalists is also very funny, I’m from Spain, a country where the police recently literally went and violently repressed a vote for independence from Catalonian people in a clear violation of the right to self determination. But sure, multiethnic China is totally Han nationalists. How many non-Han Chinese living in China have translated this opinion to you?
Keep yapping western anti-China propaganda, useful CIA tool.
Yes.
How about we meet in the middle: lets not listen to the nytimes about the middle east or trans people and not listen to Chinese government media about the US?
I am yet to encounter a link to Chinese state media in lemmy.world.
