The numbers speak from themselves. Since NATO Allies agreed that we'd each spend 2% of GDP on our own national defenses, we've seen 9 straight years of increases.

@CynicalPublius Yes, Google is misinterpreting the rules

“. . . information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released, even if it is unclassified."

This quote was fed into google.

- Image
I fed in the longer, complete quote

“. . . information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released by any military member, DoW civilian employee or contract employee, even if it is unclassified.”

- still misinterpreted

-Image
Image
@CynicalPublius I believe that Google interprets this from an authoritative perspective. The authority is the mainstream press.

The press is using Google, and Google is parroting their thinking in answer.

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.
We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully.

Pentagon access is a privilege, not a right. So, here is @DeptofWar press credentialing FOR DUMMIES:

- Press no longer roams free
- Press must wear visible badge
- Credentialed press no longer permitted to solicit criminal acts

Done

- Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War

- Image
The secretary and his staff know this, but:

- Journalists have never been able to roam free in the Pentagon.

- Journalists have always worn visible badges.

- Paul McLeary
- National Security for @politico.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just CRACKED DOWN on leaks and fake news reporters roaming the Pentagon whenever they want.
