📖 🇺🇸 🚢 The Shipping Behind D-Day - Landings at Normandy | Sal Mercogliano 1⃣ Battle of the Atlantic 2⃣ Europe vs Pacific 3⃣ Liberty Ships & LSTs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJJR9oS7MRw
📖 🇺🇸 🚢 Over 200 US Merchant ships took part in the D-day Normandy landings. To make a Normandy breakwater Harbor, called Mulberry harbour, 33 merchant ships were sunk 1,000 yards from shore.
🔶️ In this photo you see US Army landing ships on the beach but they could only carry 2,000 tons. The behind them is the fleet of US Merchant Marine liberty ships that carried 10,000 tons each.
🔶️ During the war 3.1 million tons of US merchant ships were sunk in 733 ships. Merchant Navy crews were killed at a rate of 1 in 26 (US Navy rate was 1 in 114).
🔶️ There were 243,000 mariners that served in the war. And 9,521 perished while serving—a higher proportion of those killed than any other branch of the US military. Roughly four percent of those who served were killed, a higher casualty rate than that of any of the American military services during World War II.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 🇮🇱 U.S. warns Israel "limited war" with Lebanon could draw Iran to intervene
🔶️ U.S. officials told Axios the Biden administration told Israel it doesn't think "a limited war" in Lebanon or a "small regional war" is a realistic option because it will be difficult to prevent it from widening and spinning out of control.
🔶️ The Biden administration warned Israel that a ground invasion of Lebanon, even if it is only in the areas close to the border, would likely push Iran to intervene, U.S. and Israeli officials said.
🔶️ One scenario the administration raised with Israel is that Lebanon could be flooded with militants from pro-Iranian militias in Syria, Iraq and even Yemen who would want to join the fighting.
🔶️ A senior IDF official said that the situation has been escalating since May because Hezbollah conducted more successful drone attacks against Israeli targets that weren't intercepted.
🔶️ At the same time, Hezbollah started launching "Burkan" rockets with 1,000-pound to 2,000-pound warheads that caused significant damage to IDF bases along the border.
🔶️ No decisions were made in the war Cabinet meeting, but the IDF presented several options for expanding the fighting, including a ground invasion aimed at pushing Hezbollah's elite Radwan force away from the border, the IDF official said.

🔶️ We remember that Americans during WW2:
-Opposed interracial marriage
-Opposed Jewish refugees
-Favored deporting Japanese
-Favored segregation in the army
-Rather lose to the Nazis than give up segregation

🔶️ "On the 80th anniversary of D-Day we commemorate the battle that saved the world from fascism so that we could instead have mass migration, George Floyd, feminism, trans kids, and Jews/Israel controlling everything."
🔶️ "To think we were close to the fascists winning is horrifying."

🇷🇺 🌍 Russian officials are visiting Africa, seeking to advance the Kremlin’s strategic goals of supplanting Western influence & better positioning Russia for prolonged confrontation with the West by tightening military, economic, and political ties with African partners. | Critical Threats
🔶️ Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov visited Guinea, Congo, Burkina Faso, and Chad, while Deputy Defense Minister Yunus Bek Yevkurov visited Libya, Mali, and Niger on separate trips between May 31 and June 5.
🔶️ The visits are advancing Russian efforts to strengthen its military footprint, which allows the Kremlin to use limited resources to threaten NATO’s southern flank & degrade Western influence, advancing the narrative that Russia is a revitalized great power equal to the West.
🔶️ Russia is also attempting to strengthen economic engagement with Africa in various sectors, especially nuclear energy, to mitigate the impact of tensions with the West by exploiting new revenue streams and export markets.
🔶️ Russia is most clearly creating a pro-Russian bloc that advances all its military, economic, and political aims in Africa in the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), which consists of the three military juntas in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger but could expand across the Sahel.
