JD Vance's entourage to the Olympics came over in 14 planes, with 1 plane entirely full of food supplies.

@Ilka4You @ProjectFearlessness The article says 'security footprint' and I think 'carbon footprint'. There is also the element of visual power projection, after all, Europe is the enemy. But it's mostly security theatre. If Vance gets taken out, it will very likely be by Americans.

All USA bases only serve USA food and beverages. This includes, when they are holding a function on a UK naval base!
They do not support the local economy

@martinvermeer @Ilka4You
Well, I'm sure Vance thinks it's power projection, but it projects a deep insecurity. Maybe it goes down better in America than it does in Europe.

@ProjectFearlessness Well, considering the reception he got at the olympics I bet half the country would try to poison him first chance they got

It's ok, we get it. Like at the Olympics opening ceremony when Vance got a huge boo but the U.S. team got a huge cheer. We know who the villains are.

I can't imagine being an American watching this gross misuse of taxpayers money while not being able to afford medical insurance.

projectfearlessness@mastodonapp.uk

@OohOkayKay
You're right, but also there are so many much grosser misuses of American taxpayer money this one will hardly register.

@ProjectFearlessness He is afraid someone will poison him?

@Ilka4You @ProjectFearlessness @martinvermeer It's a regime, not an administration.

ilka4you@mastodon.social

@desertgoalie you are right. My hopes are though, the other party can still turn the doomed ship. @ProjectFearlessness @martinvermeer

@Ladylullabunk
Yes, or he thinks they will refuse to put pineapple on his pizza.

@ProjectFearlessness They call *that* a "tiny" Italian street? Obviously they have never been to rural Italy.

jcrabapple@dmv.community

@ProjectFearlessness what a fucking loser.

jcrabapple@dmv.community

@ProjectFearlessness @pthane hey now, let's not associate good taste in pizza toppings with evil couch fucking Nazis.

@ProjectFearlessness @pthane

That would be enough for my fellow Italians to try to murder him, even without all the Nazi shit!
