The temporary pier constructed by the US military to transport aid into Gaza broke apart in heavy seas on Sunday in a major blow to the American-led effort to create a maritime corridor for humanitarian supplies into the war-torn enclave, according to four US officials.

        Quick! Inform the Israeli Air Force that there’s Hamases hiding under US Navy ships. Tell them they got tunnels and shit.

    If only there were some other way to transport aid into Gaza. Maybe an existing pier or some kind of road. What a shame, I guess we’ll just have to spend another third of a billion on dragging the worlds most expensive artificial reef off the sea floor

    Listen it was only 320 million, you can’t expect something constructed that cheaply to last more than 2 weeks

    For 3.2 billion, we might be able to have one make it a couple months porky-happy

    Maybe the real pier was the money we pocketed along the way?

    And we’re supposed to see this happening and then also be convinced that the US should engage in acts of aggression in the South China sea.

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
