US President Donald Trump signed the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law Thursday, completing the passage of the largest military spending bill in US history—$901 billion, or over $1 trillion when combined with supplemental funding passed earlier this year.
The Senate voted 77-20 on Wednesday to pass the bill. The Democratic leadership, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Minority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois, voted for the bill. They were joined by Senators Mark Kelly of Arizona and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, both of whom released a video last month calling on military personnel to disobey illegal orders—as Trump was sending the US military on a murder spree off the coast of Latin America.
Citing Trump’s statements about using troops to shoot protesters in America, Slotkin invoked the legacy of the Nuremberg tribunals, which convicted Nazi leaders for war crimes and crimes against peace. But when it came time to vote, this invocation was revealed to be completely meaningless. Slotkin voted to hand Trump the resources to pursue his military adventure against Venezuela…
The world socialist website parrots Chinese Communist Party propaganda only, they even support China’s aggression against Taiwan and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, among other things. This is not a reliable media source.
WSWS is run but trots, you can say a lot about trots but being pro CPC is definitely not one of those things lmao

This site says it’s a mostly factual American leftist outlet with zero failed fact checks in the past five years. Even highly factual outlets like Reuters have distributed state propaganda.
This is a propaganda site as they intentionally seek information supporting propaganda and information supporting propaganda only. They have a strong article selection bias, and they support China’s aggression against Taiwan and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, among other things. We must clearly say that this is not a reliable source.
You then certainly agree that essentially all western media, given its support of Israel’s genocide, is not reliable and shouldn’t be listened to? Or those standards are only to be applied to the evil leftists?
Calling the CCP leftists is amusing. They’re totalitarian state capitalists, Han nationalists and imperialists.
China doesn’t have colonies and hasn’t waged a war in 40 years, hilarious that you’d call them imperialistic likely coming from a western nation.
Han nationalists is also very funny, I’m from Spain, a country where the police recently literally went and violently repressed a vote for independence from Catalonian people in a clear violation of the right to self determination. But sure, multiethnic China is totally Han nationalists. How many non-Han Chinese living in China have translated this opinion to you?
Keep yapping western anti-China propaganda, useful CIA tool.
Yes.
How about we meet in the middle: lets not listen to the bigots at the nytimes about the middle east or trans people and not listen to Chinese government media about the US?
I am yet to encounter a link to Chinese state media in lemmy.world.

I think given the context of this conversation you should have sufficient information to correctly interpret what I wrote.
Funny opinion from someone who is obsessed with only posting stuff against China.
I don’t know if the source is worthy reading, but this user sure is not.
And yet the !world@lemmy.world mods have allowed this nonsense to go on for years now. Previously.
Is he getting paid for that?
It’s funny people down voting but even the “propaganda” website they mention have a lot of non China content, but this guy is 100% foaming against China as if nothing else exists in the world. If that’s not propaganda I don’t know what is.
I’m not a fan of China, but there’s much worse evil in the world right now like the US and Israel before his brainwashing can work.
That does not excuse left-wing propaganda though? Especially not of the imperialist kind
That’s how you know they know what is propaganda /s
But yeah it’s hilarious having them complain about sources. They’d be fine with it if it had something bad to say about China
Two things can both be bad. And even more shockingly, one bad thing can be worse than another.
Liberals keep saying “two things can both be bad,” as if it were some brilliant gotcha when it’s nothing but a thought-terminating cliché. Please stop embarrassing yourselves. Either make an actual argument or don’t comment.
When one how posts articles from https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/asiannews-it/ simply for being anti China, it’s completely fair to call them out for having no leg to stand on when saying a news source should be ignored/banned.
@guismo@aussie.zone
I don’t post ‘against’ anyone. These are excellent sources with highly reliable information. The world socialist website is not.
Mate one of those highly credible information sources you’ve used is
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/asiannews-it/
Don’t remember that I used this source, must be long time ago.
But even so, that’s everything you complain? Is there nothing more?
Would also be curious to learn what sources you deem reliable.
It’s not the reliability of the sources. It’s the obsession. Even the website you complain about have non Chinese content. But you are 100% constant anti China posts.
China does a lot of bad stuff. Every country does. But why do you obsess with them so much?
I would really like to know. Because with no explanation it either looks like you’re being paid by an enemy of China like the US or that something bad happened to you and you need to seek help because you got some deep trauma.
I don’t think Lemmy is big enough for the US to pay someone to do propaganda. So it looks really odd.
What an absurdly weird comment. I just tried to engage in some discussion, but this doesn’t appear to lead anywhere.
Not at all surprising with the amount you throw out.

Just calling out propagandists as they show themselves.
The linked post is factual reporting.
I don’t comment on your accusation.
And the post here is factually reporting dems voting to increase the military budget.
Yet you’re critical of the reporting site here but okay when it’s one your posting.
Do you see the hypocrisy???
Which is what happens every time it’s brought up so 🤷
You never do. You just keep on keeping on.
Why won’t you tell us why you and/or your compatriots post? Is it a sense of patriotism? Is it money? Is it because you’re a sino-gusano?
Have you ever checked your post history? Did you ever even post anything that’s not about China? And was any of those posts against?
China sucks, but if you are being honest you have some really twisted mind to not realise your obsession.
They never respond to these comments.
I think the title reveals their bias and honestly they are not wrong.
