#Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva criticized the latest #US #military strikes against suspected drug smugglers off the coast of #SouthAmerica.
"If this becomes the norm, everyone will believe they can invade another country's territory to do whatever they want," #Lula said on Friday during a trip to Indonesia, acc/to TV Globo. "Where does that leave respect for the #sovereignty of countries?"
Lula could meet #Trump on Sunday at the ASEAN summit in Malaysia.

Holy crap it was this completely insane freak who gave #Trump $$ supposedly for the #military.
#TimothyMellon, a reclusive #billionaire & a major financial backer of Trump, is the anonymous private donor who gave $130 million to the US government to help pay troops during the #shutdown, according to two people familiar with the matter.
A while ago I posted a thread about him.
I’ll boost it.
He is scary.

#Pentagon Accepts $130M From Private Donor To Help Pay Troops
#Trump said that an *anonymous* private donor who he described as a “patriot” & a personal friend has given $130M to the #US government to help pay troops during the #shutdown.
It is not clear how far the donation would go toward covering the salaries of the more than 1.3 million troops who make up the active-duty #military. A $130M donation would equal about $100 a service member.

#US #military officials involved with #Trump's expanding operations in #LatinAmerica have been asked to sign #NDAs, 3 US ofcls say, a development that raises new questions about a military buildup that #Venezuela fears may lead to #invasion.
The step is highly unusual, given that military ofcls are already required to shield #NationalSecurity secrets from public view, & comes as lawmakers in #Congress say they are being kept in the dark about key aspects of the mission.

#Israel struck several towns in south #Lebanon Thurs after urging residents to leave, marking an escalation in their near-daily strikes on the country.
The airstrikes came hours after #Hezbollah urged the Lebanese govt not to enter negotiations w/ Israel.
#IDF said it targeted #military #infrastructure for Hezbollah in the area. It accused the group of rebuilding its capabilities almost a year after a #US brokered #ceasefire went into effect that ended a monthslong war.

The White House “declines” to “offer” #Congress an estimate of the #cost of the #war with #Iran.
In a 2nd appearance on Capitol Hill this week, #RussellVought, the White House budget director [& #Project2025 architect], sidestepped questions about the price tag of the #US & #Israel led conflict. He said the “fluctuating” nature of the war made it hard to calculate either the expenses incurred to date or the amount that #Trump would seek soon in new #military funding.
