We can't build infrastructure at home without tripling the cost to pay "consultants" because the government doesn't have the institutional knowledge to manage building things like bridges and roads.

I don't know how they think they're going to build a port of any scale off the coast of Gaza even if it's using empty barrels strapped to two by fours

This temporary port is some real sicko poo poo. Everyone would be right to distrust this, so when it gets attacked the US can claim the moral high ground and have an excuse to engage Hamas directly.

Even if this is really intended to deliver aid, it's grotesque for the US to pat itself on the back for feeding the people that they're helping genocide.

Oh I just saw about the gas field. Of course. We gotta pump that out before our vassal self destructs.

As a boat knower I'm just going to say the idea of rafting a load of ships offshore then trying to move it towards the shore is free range insanity. Even if it was barges I'm not sure you could find enough tugs that are powerful enough to move the blob and then stop it that don't have far more important things to do. Then you need to find a way to anchor the blob so it doesn't go on a magical mystery tour and the seabed conditions there aren't great for long term anchoring.

I'm gonna guess this harbor isn't going to end up anywhere near implemented anyway, but it can be an excuse to shovel some money to grifters and supporters/lanyards can boast about it as if it was already accomplished rather than just vaguely planned. Presumably this comes from staffers nervous about the election, but I doubt it'll have any impact on polls/primaries/etc.

Yeah I think this is where it's going to land. Biden will announce the big project (or spew unintelligible brain garbage to that effect), it'll be clearly untenable, and they'll just end up further enriching grifters who were already going to do piecemeal aid packages that are mostly symbolic, but then tout this as clear demonstration that they oppose the genocide despite clearly funding and aiding genocide.

Lol his numbers are even worse elsewhere, something like 12% in Michigan voted uncommitted, 20% of Minnesota's primary on tuesday voted uncommitted. Going to joker laugh myself into a grave if Biden loses Minnesota for the first time since McGovern.

it was good but it also kind of wasted Christopher Judge, the best actor on the show by a pretty huge margin, by making him play a stoic warrior race stereotype

the episode where he and O'Neill body-swapped is incredible because Christopher Judge puts on an absolutely perfect Richard Dean Anderson impression, while Richard Dean Anderson continues to play himself because that is all he knows how to do

gaza doesn't have ports. they have one small jetty and a fishing harbor made out of rubble. or had anyway, don't know what they have now.
seems like the proposal is for an offshore way station to transfer goods to hovercrafts that can drive up on the beach and unload cargo. which is fundamentally stupid because if that was ok why wouldn't trucks be ok? it's horseshit

The idea that Israel doesn't get asked to bomb poo poo on America's orders is loving stupid. The US doesn't need to base its own jets out of Israel when US jets flown by Israel hit targets that the US wants to hit. Israel isn't a rabid dog on a fraying leash, it's a loyal pit fighting dog.

It serves both the US and Israel's interest to look like the US is weak and craven and that Israel can spit in its face and continue to get support. Do you honestly believe the US doesn't want the genocide to continue?

In response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Andrés formed World Central Kitchen, which provides healthy food to families and individuals touched by disasters.[23] Since it was founded, the NGO has organized meals in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Zambia, Peru, Cuba, Uganda, Cambodia,[3] and in Poland on the border of Ukraine.[24] It has provided aid and meals in the United States and Puerto Rico and has helped during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, José Andrés announced that he was going to donate a part of $100-million Courage and Civility Award given to him by Jeff Bezos[25] to address the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.[26]

Yeah this is definitely spook poo poo. A charity for disaster areas that involves shipping large amounts of material is a good cover for spook poo poo. I'm sure the millions billionaires are handing José is for tapas and not underage prostitutes.

from what im seeing the game plan is clear they want to force gazans into sumbission, by (a) dangling aid that comes exclusively from america. and (b) inserting the dog loving goat fuckers of the UAE into the local scene through their 'aid' in order to start brining people and inserting their local puppets like mahmoud dahlan, to undermine hamas and start making a local palestinian collaborationist government that are the sole distributers of aid.
