    Guess they’ll soon find out about the long waiting lists that German food banks usually have. They won’t qualify for any German welfare payments either, so time for US soldiers to go begging in the streets I guess?

    Foreign intelligence must be having the best day ever. Soldiers, with access to lots of interesting stuff, desperate for cash.

    I’m not sure the US administration thought this one through properly. But at least they have that “warrior mindset” and no beards now. So that’s good I suppose.

      I’m not sure the US administration thought this one through properly.

      Considering that the US administration is an enemy of the US, vulnerabilities like this are either an intended part of their plan, or a happy accident.

      They don’t give a fuck about things like national security - that’s only ever a front for some other flavor of evil.

        It won’t. Considering you have the pApErS oF rEcOrD doing suck job ride alongs and news pieces of the gestapo roundups, access journalism means you go with what the administration wants so you can keep printing issues.

    Someone at the army is on social media. The linked page is already altered and the segment about “Tafel” has been deleted.

    It’s (still?) here https://home.army.mil/bavaria/about/shutdown-guidance

    or if that gets changed too: https://archive.is/e2hvc

        So now, they just deleted “Die Tafel” from their list and put the other options into a PDF to hide them better?

        Members of the US-Military wouldn’t be elegible going by the rules of Tafel branches that I know of anyway (Tafel asks for “proof of need” in form of notices from social security agencies). But who thought this to be a good idea? This non-communication is making matters worse.

    Please remember the US voted against making food a human right in several UN votes.

    Give the soldiers the option to either swear allegiance to the German government or deport them because they cannot sustain themselves in the country and are now, in fact, illegal migrants that tax the government and are an unacceptable burden upon the welfare state.

    Anything less than this is backstabbing the German society to the banefit of the pedophile in chief of dumbfuckistan.

    It took me a few clicks and some depressing reading to find it.

    That link brings you to this pdf

    After reading through the sadly typical bureaucratic layers of Army, I finally found this:

    Also, the richest nation in the world has a military so in need of SNAP benefits that it has an entire machine of paperwork in place to facilitate the distribution.

    Ask yourself why.

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
  • on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org
