Trump publicerar bild på naziinspirerad rymduniform
Donald Trump har under natten publicerat en bild på en uniform för USA:s rymdförsvar som snabbt sågades i sociala medier.
I Trumps bild står det att uniformerna har inspirerats av filmen ”Starship Troopers”. Filmen driver med fascism och krigspropaganda, och karaktärernas uniformer är tydligt inspirerade av Nazitysklands. Skaparen och regissören Paul Verhoeven har sagt att det är en film om fascister som inte förstår att de är fascister.
Filmens satir går inte alltid fram och tolkas ibland bokstavligt, främst i högerextrema kretsar.
”Grejen är att jag inte vet vad som vore värst: om de fattade (filmen) eller inte”, skriver The Dispatchs redaktör Jonah Goldberg på X.
bakgrund
United States Space Force
Wikipedia (en)
The United States Space Force (USSF) is the space service branch of the United States Armed Forces, and was established on 20 December 2019. Part of the United States Department of Defense, it is one of the six armed forces and one of the eight uniformed services of the United States. It is the second independent space force to have been formed, after the Russian Space Forces; together with that of China, it is one of only two still extant.
The United States Space Force traces its origins to the Air Force, Army, and Navy's military space programs created during the beginning of the Cold War. U.S. military space forces first participated in combat operations during the Vietnam War and have participated in every U.S. military operation since, most notably in the Gulf War, which has been referred to as the "first space war". The Strategic Defense Initiative and creation of Air Force Space Command in the 1980s marked a renaissance for military space operations.
Proposals for a U.S. Space Force were seriously considered during the Reagan administration (1981-89) as part of the Strategic Defense Initiative. The National Space Council, established in 1989, began discussing plans for a Space Corps or Space Force, but these plans were suspended shortly after President Clinton came into office. These discussions were revisited in the late 2010s in response to Russian and Chinese Military Space developments. The Space Force was officially established on 20 December 2019 during the first Trump administration.
The Space Force is organized as part of the Department of the Air Force alongside the U.S. Air Force, a coequal service. The Department of the Air Force is headed by the civilian secretary of the Air Force, while the U.S. Space Force is led by the chief of space operations. The U.S. Space Force's status as part of the Department of the Air Force is intended to be an interim measure towards a fully independent Department of the Space Force, led by a civilian secretary of the Space Force.
