Lebanon Crisis (1958)
Tue Jul 15, 1958

On this day in 1958, the U.S. invaded Lebanon with 54,000 troops in the name of anti-communism, occupying the Port of Beirut and Beirut International Airport, its first overt military action in the Middle East.
The pro-Western president of Lebanon, Camille Chamoun, had asked for U.S. assistance after armed groups in Lebanon began rebelling against his administration. While not overtly communist in character, the rebels had burned down a U.S. propaganda outlet and were generally aligned with Gamal Nasser and the United Arab Republic (UAR).
Using the anti-communist "Eisenhower Doctrine" as justification, on July 15th, President Eisenhower authorized "Operation Blue Bat", a military occupation of Lebanon with more than 14,000 footsoldiers, supported by a fleet of 70 ships and 40,000 sailors, to keep Chamoun in power.
Occupying the Port of Beirut and Beirut International Airport, the forces remained in Lebanon until October 25th, when President Chamoun completed his term as president of Lebanon.
According to historian Maurice Labelle, "this was the first overt U.S. military intervention in the region", demonstrating the U.S.'s willingness to act as an imperialist power in the Middle East, willing to commit to overt military action to manage its interests in the region.

You don’t have to find a way to shoehorn Biden, Democrats, and Israel into every topic just to further your agenda. It’s slimy, and we all see it.
Your attempt to deflect the limelight away from Biden and administration is what's most slimy and I've seen this cult like behavior elsewhere as well (Election campaign push?).
Keep kissing that ass to paint him as a good person, we all see through it.
And yes, Fuck Trump too, if you were deciding to try and deflect using the textbook deflection tactic.
I don't think your whole thought process differs from a tankie. They think the same in a "my team is better, other one is sowing misinformation" way.
Upon receiving the recovery email from Proton Mail, Spanish authorities further requested Apple to provide additional details linked to that email, leading to the identification of the individual.
I like how no ones talking about how Apple (the one its fanboys say is most privacy centric company) was the one that helped identity the individual.
yea, and people here suggesting f-droid to change package names are crazy. F-Droid's goal is not to mess with developers code at all and provide builds as is from the source code.
Essentially the apps have same package name but different signatures and the app store that installed it should be the only one to recognize and update it.
But Google is likely trying this dark pattern to sway people away from F-Droid or alt stores by making users uninstall these apps and install it from the Google Play Store.
It's been going on for a while and is annoying af.
Apple users every time any criticism comes up
Other companies do it too…
Ya no shit, we know other companies are bad, however, keeping Apple at the pedestal no matter what is annoyingly cringe.
I recently switched to Standard Notes and it is just perfect.
pushing digital privacy as a selling point and living up to it doesn't add up when you do compromise privacy behind closed doors

They do call themselves American. I have met quite a few who do. I used to teach english online during covid and lots of them were from Brazil. They're just not outlandishly exclaiming the whole contintent belongs to them every chance they get. Same way they don't claim a sport league as World championship.
They usually just go "We're American but yeah… (some white snowflakes stole it and we don't say anything because it has anger issues)"
And you're on fediverse now so using a global representation would be more appreciated rather than stroking propaganda shit all over the place.
