Whatever happened to “America First”

Well, don’t worry. I’m sure the IDF will defend America if the US military is too ravaged by Corona-chan to do so.

The US Department of Defense has reportedly supplied 1 million surgical masks to the Israeli regime in order to be distributed among soldiers, despite the fact that the Pentagon has lately introduced a measure requiring personnel to make their own masks to combat the spread of the new coronavirus.

The Israeli English-language Jerusalem Post reported that the masks were procured from China, and a plane carrying the medical stuff intended for Israeli soldiers landed in Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday night.

“In the past two weeks, we have purchased and flown to Israel tens of thousands of swabs, masks, protective suits for medical staff and more,” Limor Kolishevsky, head of the New York Purchasing and Logistics Division, said. “A million masks, procured in China, were quickly flown to Israel with the intention that the Israeli military will be using them within the next few days,” he added.

The Jerusalem Post had initially published the article headlined “US Department of Defense give 1 million masks to IDF for coronavirus use,” and this is still visible in the article’s hyperlink on Twitter posts.

The newspaper, however, changed the headline shortly afterwards to read, “Israel brings 1 million masks from China for IDF soldiers,” in a possible attempt at downplaying the role of Washington in spite of shortages in protective equipment, including face masks, in the United States.

Perhaps if the Pentagon paid more attention to its soldiers than engaging in bitching about what Jenny said to Debby about Becky having a cold sore, the USA might stand a chance of surviving… no, it’s too late anyhow. Pay attention, though. This is what a corrupted Empire looks like in its last decade.

An Israeli military reporter even published on his Twitter page images of the shipment of masks as they arrived in the occupied lands.

On April 5, American weekly news magazine Newsweek reported that the US military had told its personnel to make their own masks to fight coronavirus. The protocols, titled “Department of Defense Guidance on the Use of Cloth Face Coverings,” were included in a document released Sunday by the Pentagon and then seen by the magazine.

Protocols? Can you believe that? I think the obvious takeaway from all of this is the reprehensible antisemitism of the Pentagon. The only meaningful atonement for its deplorable choice of words is for the Joint Chiefs of Staff to promptly apologize and promise to send more money to Israel.
