Tuberville, who's singlehandedly blocked hundreds of military promotions in protest over the Pentagon's abortion policies, said he's not going to change his mind and doesn't care that people aren't being promoted.

After the US Supreme Court reversed decades of precedent in overturning its decision in the Roe v. Wade abortion access case in 2022, the Pentagon announced its plan to reimburse service members who need to travel out-of-state to receive abortion services.

Tuberville, a Republican senator out of Alabama, took exception to the decision and said he'd use his power to stymie any military nominations and promotions he could. Since February, he's blocked more than 300 promotions.

I believe that there is an active conspiracy to destroy the USA from within and this is proof of that. Follow the money and you'll uncover who is behind it. My guess, China, Russia and maybe some Oligarchs around that.

There's obvious Russian interest in disrupting US society and politics, but they are only able to achieve anything if there is demand for it. And oh boy, there is, unfortunately. The Russians/Chinese can dump all their money into influencing US politics if voters are intelligent and well informed enough to know better. Sadly, this is not the case.

Why would Isreal want to destroy their biggest international aid donor?

Yeah, Israeli intelligence services attempting to nerf the USA in any way makes about as much sense as New Zealand conspiring against Australia or the DRK dealing the PRC a bad hand. Aren't we the ones keeping Israel's tactical nuke program an unofficial one with like blocking UN votes or something? Israel has nukes, so do the Saudis, but like internationally it's like unrecognized because US foreign policy won't acknowledge it.
