Pentagon Requests Blowout Budget To Fight ‘Climate Crisis’ And ‘Extremism’ Among Troops

p>The Pentagon’s budget request for fiscal year 2022 totals $715 billion, and among the Defense Department’s stated priorities are fighting the “climate crisis” and “extremism” in America’s armed forces.

 The funding requested by the Pentagon under Biden continues a trend set under Trump who ballooned the military budget from just $582 billion requested by the Obama administration in 2017. The newest 2022 budget request increases the budget by $11 billion in comparison to 2021.

 

The 2022 budget proposal highlights climate change as a “national security priority,” stating that DoD will “elevate climate as a national security priority” and integrate “climate considerations” into “policies, strategies, and partner engagements.”

Funds will be reallocated to bolster “climate resiliency” and invest in clean energy. The request allocates $617 million for ensuring military installations can operate efficiently and recover from infrastructure disruption, R&D for new energy technologies and “climate-informed” wargaming, analysis and contingency planning.

Rooting out the supposed extremism within the military is another focus of the budget, with almost $31 million requested for strengthen tools to “identify and address extremism.”

One section of the proposal states that the Department of the Navy will “put people first” by creating a “positive work environment devoid of sexual assault, sexual harassment, racism, and violent extremism.”

The document also states the DoD will seek to improve its social media screening and “tracking activities of concern.”

Here's my divine wisdom: Whether it's President Trump or Ron DeSantis winning in 2024—assuming the voting machine fraud has been neutralized, of course—there has to be a dedicated unit in the White House whose job is to purge as many liberal holdovers as possible. Put General Flynn in charge and let him take out the garbage.

Can you imagine these charlatans back when the miles thick ice was melting off our planet? ‘We must act now! It’s a climate crisis! We need billions to fight it!’

The officers should prepare themselves for democrat party political operatives for each unit to insure correct thinking. Just like in Stalinist Russia.

I’ll bet if all the militaries (Globally) drop enough Nukes, Climate Change will become conquered, i.e., at the bottom of the worry list.

"...the Defense Department’s stated priorities are fighting the “climate crisis” and “extremism” in America’s armed forces."

How about replacing our aging cruisers? Doubling up on attack sub construction? How about our way-past prime ICBMs?

Man, we may never recover from fours years of this crew.

(Imagine if Felonia Von Pantsuits had been in office for the last four years!)

Mike Flynn is a goof and a QAon grifter.
His moronic dumbass is partly the reason why Trump is no longer President he’s a treasonous buffoon who betrayed God and country to the Russians and to the Turks he was also giving Trump horrible ill gotten advice from the shadows such as reaching a horrible deal with the Taliban regime and Al Qaeda among other things, he got his pardon he can just stay on the moonbat whacko QAon/ Q-turd circuit along with Lincoln Project patsy Lin Wood and dippy Sidney Powell.

Last time I checked it, I think “climate change” was on the bottom of the list of things to worry about. Of course, you only have to look at what group is telling us to worry about it to get an idea about what is really the truth.
