“Three U.S. C-130 cargo planes dropped 66 total bundles, equating to about 38,000 pork-free meals, into the territory on Saturday morning. The bundles were split between three planes, the official said.”
“The airdrop is expected to be the first of many announced by President Joe Biden on Friday. The aid will be coordinated with Jordan, which has also conducted airdrops to deliver food to Gaza.”
He’s dead right, and I don’t know how anybody is calling this a victory for anyone except the few mouths this limited aid can help. The whole world saw an American ”Strategic Ally” treat us the same as countries they went to war with several times.
Bretton Woods and the Pax Americana is starting to crumble, while the Global South is watching. This is an incredible display of US weakness on the global stage, not the ‘they/them army’ the alt-right pretends is an issue. Biden’s inability or unwillingness here is astounding - he can’t/won’t pressure an “ally” to not starve civilians to death, while the international community looks for any American leadership to break the deadlock on the ground in Gaza and the UNSC.
