The LA Times has article up that is pretty damn scary. trump’s administration is for the most part getting rid of the Programs, people, and teams that help detect weapons of mass destruction:
trump is making us even less secure every day
Among the programs gutted since 2017, however, was an elite Homeland Security “red team,” whose specialists conducted dozens of drills and assessments around the country each year to help federal, state and local officials detect such potential threats as an improvised nuclear device concealed in a suitcase, or a cargo ship carrying a radiation-spewing “dirty bomb.”
The above is not the only team that has been disbanded for the most part. The Operations Support Directorate, which helps state and local authorities train for WMD related incidents, only did 10 exercises in all of last year, is even doing less this year.
Possibly another reason our Foreign partners around the world this trump is an idiot:
A separate Homeland Security component, the International Cooperation Division, which worked closely with foreign counterparts and the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency to track and stop the smuggling of dangerous nuclear materials overseas, has been disbanded.
The list goes on and on and on and…...I am wondering more and more what the hell is going on. I worked with Nuclear Weapons, they are not some made up Science Fiction fantasy. These teams were on the lookout for every WMD down the line.
Of course the administration when it even answered questions, gave the old we are restructuring bullshit.
So who is heading this wrecking ball for the orange menace, James F. McDonnell, a true trumpie all the way down the line.
Current and former Homeland Security officials said they have struggled to grasp McDonnell’s rationale for cutting back training and other efforts intended to improve readiness, detection and tracing. They cited instances when specialists were removed from their areas of expertise in apparent retaliation for raising concerns about his policies.
Every second of every day tells me more and more trump needs to be removed from office as quickly as possible. If you can read this article and not come to the same conclusion….Honestly, one has to wonder if trump thinks a terrorist attack will help him get reelected. I can’ think of any good reason why he is doing this, someone help me here.
For me it is definitely not if something terrible is going to happen, it is just a matter of when. Whether it is here or in the Middle East. It will happen.
