The legislation calls for nearly $1.4 trillion in defense spending and would expand Israeli influence over the US Congress and military
Lawmakers in Washington are quietly moving to integrate the US and Israeli militaries in unprecedented ways, according to a clause in the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) released earlier this week.
Section 224 of the NDAA, entitled “United States–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative,” proposes bilateral defense research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and other US-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation.
If implemented, the initiative would “arguably do more to intertwine the US military with the Israeli military than the more than $200 billion (inflation adjusted) in military assistance Israel has received from the US since its founding in 1948,” Responsible Statecraft (RS) wrote. It is “the first step towards shifting aid further into the shadows” and “would all but fuse the two countries’ armed forces together,” RS added.
Section 224 of the NDAA calls for expanded US–Israeli coordination in the areas of defense tech, including AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, and biotech.
It also proposes “network integration” and “data fusion,” which would allow Israel to access the US military’s data.
If implemented, the measures would give the Israeli government expanded influence over the US political system. “By expanding or starting new co-production facilities like it already has in Mississippi and Arkansas, the Israeli government could boast of providing jobs on US soil, thereby securing allies among members of Congress who represent the districts where those jobs lie,” RS concluded.
After Iran, who is the next target?
Well finishing up Lebanon first. Then Syria, Jordan, and eventually Egypt.
The US has been doing a lot of denouncing Cuba recently.
I mean, if you’re a right-wing US president looking for an easy and ideologically acceptable target, Venezuala and Cuba are right there. The fact Trump did a detour through menacing Canada and Greenland first just shows how dumb he is.
Let’s fuse ourselves to genociding rapists. That’s awesome!
It’s worth checking out TrueAnon’s (it’s a podcast) first two of a three-part series on Israel extracting sperm from dead soldiers for post-death insemination. (The third one is still pending.) It’s a weird culture.
Fuck israel.
Is trump going to bring the IDF to help with election fraud or whatever bullshit he will manifest to justify it?
god i hate religious people
Unfortunately plenty of secular neolibs ok with this (Sam Harris)
They’re only the greatest source or war and murder in human history. What’s not to like?
It all makes sense if you take into account that Epstein was a Mossad agent.
Mossad and the CIA were already joined at the crotch going back to their foundings.
Why do I get the feeling that at some point in the future we are going to have a world war against the fascist US and Israel.
The American far right making sure America’s little settler outpost in the middle east can continue to do genocide unimpeded by domestic opposition.
Well they fucked their arab allies in the region. They lost their bases hosted by those allies. This means the Americans can’t rely on the pre-existing material base or the goodwill of the arabs. What they got left in the region is Israel. Perhaps they think they no longer need the arabs to project power.

Cool. We’re all getting in on the same set of contractor scams.
I thought you guys didn’t vote for Kamala because she wouldn’t give up helping Israel… Well done!
The Israel situation has been boiling for almost 80 years now. If you need to make your leaders lose one election to send a message that they need to change their tune on it, so be it.
Yes! That’s it! The world be damned! Send your message!
I understand your point. Don’t understand mine? When the world has already been damned for 80 years and your leaders aren’t doing anything about it, you no longer have anything to lose and the whole “just one more election” bit starts to fall flat. Losing can be an opportunity for change in a party, when you’re finished rewarding them for staying terrible. At some point we need a party to actually be good, not just less worse than the other guys.
Blame ordinary folks instead of pushing primaries to remove the genocidal maniacs in charge, that will solve it!
No blame just praise! Keep it up!
Every day worse than the last.
What in the actual FUCK
The US is colonized by Israel
