The Pentagon is slated to host an event on Wednesday making "the case for global justice and democratic socialism" as a means to combat China’s rise, sparking ire on Capitol Hill.

Featured speaker Thomas Piketty, a French economist, "will argue that the right answer" to addressing China’s rise "lies in ending Western arrogance and promoting a new emancipatory and egalitarian horizon on a global scale, a new form of democratic and participatory, ecological and post-colonial socialism," according to the event invitation.

Propaganda for their constituents who are too stupid to know they are all Communists. Orwellian af.
24. Yes! Just look at what Fauci is paid!!!
We are gonna need more toilet paper to clean up all these asses.
Why even pay for a military? Let’s send all the soldiers home and save some money. Hunter Biden will deliver a white flag to China, no problem.
Why is it that no active military can give a good explanation on just how the Marxists are taking over the Pentagon, the Academies and even basic training? Is our military leadership actually as stupid as our comics have made them out to be?
Interesting!
yeah, that’ll help... /s
My nephew just signed his discharge papers for refusing the jab in the navy last week. He will muster out in mid-March. He says the navy has changed quickly and headed down hill fast and is not the same entity he entered in 2018.
Yes. I understand that. Some very bad procurement in the past. The question I have was it bad requirements or bad execution.
