“After the round prematurely exploded on Saturday, whole exercise, which was expected to include firing of approximately 60 155-mm shells -was terminated.” So it was SO safe &not unusual, that live ordinance blew shrapnel over Hwy &entire thing cancelled?!🤨 Oh, Marine AO &cops said it’s unusual.🙄

Robert Reich

Friends,
The Marine Corps - under the watchful eyes of JD
Vance and Pete Hegseth - staged a
demonstration on Saturday in southern California.
It wasn't a No Kings demonstration, though. It was more like a Yes Kings demonstration.
Some of the Marine Corps' shells that were fired by
M777 howitzers across California's Interstate 5 prematurely detonated, sending shrapnel down on what could have been hundreds of motorists.
Why the hell did the Marine Corps fire artillery shells over Interstate 5 anyway?
Interstate 5 is the largest and most-traveled north-south freeway in California.
The military demonstration was part of an exercise marking the Marine Corps' 250th anniversary. It was attended by JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Beforehand, the military predicted that the exercise would be safe, but California Governor Gavin Newsom disagreed. "Firing live rounds over a busy highway isn't just wrong — it's dangerous," Newsom said last week.
Newsom was so concerned about the plan that he ordered a 17-mile stretch closed of the freeway closed between Los Angeles and San Diego - which caused significant backups on that portion of the interstate, used by approximately 80,000 people daily.

Before the mishap, Vance's office disputed Newsom's claim that the live rounds were dangerous, saying that the Marine Corp's demonstration was "an established safe practice."
"If Gavin Newsom wants to oppose the training exercises that ensure our Armed Forces are the deadliest and most lethal fighting force in the world, then he can go right ahead," Vance's communications director said in a statement. "It would come as no surprise that he would stoop so low considering his pathetic track record of failure as governor."
After the round prematurely exploded on Saturday, the whole exercise - which was expected to include the firing of approximately 60 155-millimeter shells - was terminated.
An active-duty Marine artillery officer and a former Marine artillery noncommissioned officer who spoke to the New York Times described the exercise as "unusual." They said the only howitzer training they had previously observed at Camp Pendleton had taken place at approved artillery ranges on the main side of base, east of the interstate, which they said were a much safer option for training.
A highway patrol official based in the area also described it as "unusual and concerning." Tony Coronado, the highway patrol's border division chief, said in a statement that "it is highly uncommon for any live-fire or explosive training activity to occur near an active freeway."
So what's going on here? Why did the Marine Corps decide to fire live artillery shells across California's major interstate freeway on Saturday?

Could the decision have had anything to do with the planned No Kings demonstrations in California on Saturday — the heart of anti-Trump country — and the well-known fact that Trump hates California?
Just asking.
What do you think?

Currently Trump is working hard to achieve a "peace deal" between Russia and Ukraine. All in order to be able to boast as a peace maker within his first 100 days To achieve the deal Ukraine needs essentially to surrender. That would be terribly wrong since it's Russia who is in deep shit.

Trump hates Gavin Newsome. Why? Is it because he runs the richest state in the US? Is it because he's white and young? Newsome understands that the best way for a state to prosper is to make sure "everybody" gets a decent pay, so they can spend and business thrive. So California raised the miniumum

How much did the con man claim Ukraine owes the US? $350 billion? Truth is the US has GIVEN Ukraine $106 billion and a substantial amount of the military aid went to renew the US army. Taken in absolute numbers, Europe has given more of everything. More interesting though is to see how much it

I'm afraid it's time for Europe to unite into a federation - the United States of Europe. We would become the worlds most powerful nation with (including the UK there) a population of 517 million people. NATO is done, has no future and when USE is in place, not really needed actually.
