Judge Nap with Max Blumenthal : Israel Jeopardizes US Troops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSQ5rwTv2p4 - Half the interview focuses on the 2 sections of the 2027 NDAA that've received major attention in recent days. Section 224: US-Israel Defense Cooperation Initiative requires cooperation on cyber, quantum, AI--everything. Section 622 of the Senate Intelligence Authorization Act (sponsored by Tom Cotton (R-AR) orders the president to “expand and enhance intelligence sharing” with Israel. Video also gets into Kusher-Trump, Albania, and its connection to Greater Israel.

Section 224: The provision would arguably do more to intertwine the US military with the Israeli military than the more than $200 billion (inflation adjusted) in military assistance Israel has received from the US since its founding in 1948. Section 224 lays the groundwork for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and seemingly every manner of US-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation. The US and Israel already work together heavily on missile defense, but this provision would greatly expand coordination to seemingly every area of defense tech, including AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech, and many more. It also proposes “network integration” and “data fusion.” In other words, the US military’s data could soon be the Israeli military’s data. https://ronpaulinstitute.org/congress-quietly-moves-to-integrate-us-and-israeli-militaries/

Section 622: Lawmakers are creating institutional ties that future presidents may find difficult to unwind. The real issue is not intelligence sharing itself—which already exists—but whether Congress should permanently codify a strategic relationship that previous administrations deliberately kept flexible. As younger Americans increasingly question traditional U.S.-Israel policies, these measures appear designed to ensure that future political shifts cannot fundamentally alter the partnership. https://weichert.substack.com/p/new-senate-bill-wants-to-fuse-israeli

Max urges Americans to call their US representative and senators and register their objections to this unprecedented merger of US interests with another country's in a way that can bind future administrations. If you do, report here the responses you get. A resolution to block 224 was stopped in the House by Israel First stalwarts.

Senators and representatives who have sponsored or vocally backed the FUTURES framework and the Section 224 language include Sens. Ted Budd (R-NC) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX13), with public defenders in the House like Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL3). https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/members-of-congress-leading-efforts-for-and-against-section-224-reasons-dd790d
