Fox News journalist Jesse Watters has gone viral after joking about US military “wild animals” overdosing on testosterone and attacking women. Smiling wildly, Watters joked on live TV: The guys that don’t need it [testosterone] are gonna take it — to triple boost. And then they’re gonna get out there, and women on base — you guys better be careful. Uh-huh! Port calls — women, eh-he, in Asia — you better be careful. Because these guys are going to be wild animals and you better watch out! Jesse Watters ‘scumbag’ The internet roundly denounced the vile comments, which were blatantly implying…

US troops avoiding justice yet another reason to give American military bases the boot

US troops are avoiding justice for alleged crimes committed in the UK. And that is one more thing you can add to the long list of reasons US military colonies need to be kicked out of Britain. The Week reported on 8 July that two US military personnel had escaped proper justice for crimes committed in the UK. This was due to them being court-martialed under US military law, not in British courts. The outlet reported: Four women and a 16-year-old girl accused US airman Hannes Marschalek of indecent exposure in 2022, while he was stationed at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk,…

Dan Jarvis, the new defence secretary, has told the Guardian he doesn’t have “a shred of doubt” that incoming prime minister, Andy Burnham, will ensure the military gets the resources it needs. Jarvis, whose donors include Labour Together millionaires and recruitment firms PSD and Odgers Berndtson (who are linked to private healthcare), says he is confident the PM-in-waiting “values national security”. He said: What I absolutely will want to see is that in the next spending review we commit the resources to evidence the trajectory to 3.5% [of GDP]. I’ve known Andy for a very long time, and I have not…

Creatively factual Telegraph article claims Miliband is being mean to the military

On 25 June, low-grade looroll manufacturer the Telegraph published a perfect right-wing, rage-baiting scoop: the hated net zero secretary has blocked oil drilling, depriving the poor military of more money. The shock! The horror! The outraged clicks! The only problem? Both the Treasury and the Department for Energy Security say it’s made-up. What’s more, they told the Telegraph as much, and it published anyway. God, we don’t know who to believe – it’s like being trapped between the devil and a rapidly rising sea. ‘Pure nonsense’ The Telegraph touted its article/Milifandom-fiction on social media, proclaiming that: Ed Miliband derailed a plan to fund Britain’s rearmament by…

Teddy Sagi, the billionaire owner of London’s Camden Market and of online competitions, finances Israel’s genocidal military according to a new report. Forbes estimates that Sagi’s net worth is over £7bn. Sagi’s funnelling of cash toward the colony means that the hundreds of thousands of Britons who buy prize tickets from Winvia Entertainment Group’s subsidiary brands are directly benefiting the IOF. Sagi also owns betting software firm Playtech, UK-Israeli Kape Technologies and VPN companies ExpressVPN, Cyberghost and others. His donations of hundreds of thousands of pounds at a time to Israel’s military have continued throughout Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Donations include…

Ireland confirms eagerness to wreck national military neutrality

Ireland’s defence minister has confirmed that her government is intent on tearing up the triple lock, which is key to Ireland’s official position of military neutrality. This and other similar moves are intended to make Ireland a more useful pawn for NATO and the US. Helen McEntee said there was “no ambiguity” about what the government wanted to do and described reform of the neutrality measure as “absolutely essential”. Her comments come in response to a backbench Fianna Fáil pushback, in which some told the Irish Times exactly the opposite — that the government has made no “reasoned explanation on the need for…

Musk’s SpaceX, like the U.S. military, is stranded by critical minerals

The world’s richest man’s new company — SpaceX — may have counted many a chicken before they hatched. China’s chokehold on solar cells and equipment, tungsten, indium, yttrium, and other critical materials should cast doubt on the prowess of American industry, defence and SpaceX alike. The Washington Post’s recent report on the stalled SpaceX-Suzhou Maxwell negotiations shows that all is not well behind the showmanship of American industrial power under Trump and Musk. China is quietly expanding its export control regime against the U.S. and American allies, reaching beyond rare earth minerals to pinch choke points that affect key U.S. industries,…

Yemen at the heart of Israel’s push for a military foothold in Somaliland

Israel’s alliance with Somaliland is gathering steam. The settler-state appears is expanding its military footprint in the region and, as diplomatic relations grow closer than ever, Israel seems likely to get what it wants. On 13 June, Drop Site News reported that in an unprecedented display of support, the Muslim-majority nation witnessed “the public waving of Israeli flags—not in protest, but celebration.” They added that: Videos shared on social media from Somaliland’s day of independence on May 18 showed Israelis dancing in the streets of Hargeisa alongside locals, with blue and white stars of David flying beside Somaliland’s red, white, and…

Israel might be training hundreds of participants in the dark arts of ‘offensive’ influence operations and propaganda each year. A military leak exposed details of how the settler-colonial state seeks to shape public consciousness. And some material is specifically for English speakers. It is the second major leak of its kind in 2026. Israeli-based +972 magazine reported on 4 June: Israel’s defense establishment is training soldiers and other defense officials to conduct psychological operations designed to “influence public consciousness” in Israel and abroad. Adding: The courses, taught in Hebrew and English by academics who are not affiliated with the military, are…

Former spy-chief-turned-arms-firm-adviser says military AI can be moral in shock to nobody

Ex-spy chief David Omand has decided military AI can be taught to be moral. Which is nice for him. And probably nice for the various private defence interests he advises too. The Guardian published an extended interview with Omand. He told the paper he used to think AI drones were a bad thing. But changed his mind: My call is to really get some work done on this, so that we’re not left in a situation where there isn’t a moral component built into future AI-powered weapon systems. Omand is an advisor to Paladin Capital Group. Paladin has major AI and cybersecurity…

Two US universities are selling dead bodies, which are meant for ‘scientific purposes’, to the US Navy, which uses them to train the Israeli military. Back in 2025, student journalists revealed the links between bodies donated by the University of Southern California (USC) for scientific research and training provided to Israeli soldiers by the US military. At the end of 2017, the US Navy filed a notice of intent to start purchasing cadavers from USC. The purpose was to use dead bodies in trauma surgery for the IOF. The notice of intent states: The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) intends to negotiate…

Cost of Iran war forces US military to cut training budgets at home

The cost of the unprovoked US war on Iran is limiting routine training and maintenance at home. The military’s usual practice flights, training exercises, and the upkeep of equipment have all been affected as the American empire strains under the demands of the failing war. CNN reported: The Navy’s top officer, Adm. Daryl Caudle, told House Armed Services Committee lawmakers earlier this month that his 2026 budget “didn’t bake in [Operation] Epic Fury” and that the Navy faces impacts on “routine operations” as a result. That includes having to limit training exercises, flight training hours and training for new recruits, he…
