A section of the $320 million floating pier built and erected off Gaza’s coast has broken off and floated onto an Israeli beach. The Saturday mishap is the latest setback for the US humanitarian aid project, after three US troops were reported injured aboard the pier two days prior, including one critically.
The Times of Israel’s military correspondent Emanuel Fabian has reported that “An American vessel used to unload humanitarian aid from ships into the Gaza Strip via a floating pier disconnected from a small boat tugging it this morning due to stormy seas, leading it to get stuck on the coast of Ashdod, eyewitnesses say.”
The recovery operation has not gone well either, as “Another ship was then sent to try and extract the stuck vessel, but also got beached,” Fabian writes.
And yet a second US Army vessel also got stuck in shallow waters while trying to rescue the pier section. Overnight US ships had been moving two pieces of the floating pier to the Port of Ashdod in southern Israel when the now beached section detached and drifted away. American troops can be seen in footage standing helplessly on the beach.
Cue THE VILLAGE PEOPLE -- “IN THE NAVY”. I guess this is what happens when you let the Army Transportation Corps do work which should be handled by experienced sailors-The Seabees. That $320 million would have been better spent completing the border wall and for border security on the current invasion which the MSM will not report on: From Trudeau Land. But what do I know? The politicians from here in the Gem State to Mordor-On-The-Potomac just want me to shut up and pay my taxes. Life is a vale of tears. Bleib ubrig.
I’m not sure, but the item in the video appears to be something that’s used to remove a container from a ship and deliver it to the pier. Somewhat similar to an upper deck loader for a wide body cargo aircraft.
It is a portion of the pier

A perfect exposition of clowns operating in clown world. It would be amusing but for the fact that hundreds of millions of (fake) dollars are being wasted on the operation. At least it is revealing the once vaunted US military as a bunch of hapless fools, which is a point that needs repeated revelation to drive home that reality in the minds of the public, much of which still somehow believes we have the worlds greatest and most capable military. That is a misconception that is now extraordinarily dangerous to hold on to, since it eventually is going to cause the FUSA to act in a way (as it is now doing with Russia) as to invite a stinging and probably ruinous defeat.
However, I doubt the obvious truth will be taken to heart and change the course of action before an embarrassing and empire destroying ass whupping is delivered to America. The hubris and delusion concerning our military strength is too great to preemptively kill off the illusion that we can still pick these fights and win them. Regrettably, that lesson will apparently have to be learned the hard way.
it should have sunk to the bottom of the sea, he is only using for transporting the worse of the worse to the U.S.; the s-bag pedophile idiot should drop dead and do it fast and along with his handler Obama.
Why are we trying to help the muzzie terrorists anyway?
Because the bipolar government of this dysfunctional empire is doing it’s usual schtick: fund both sides and play them against each other for fun and profit (ok, maybe not so much profit as laundering). They give huge $ and sell weapons systems to Israel who uses them to blow Palestine to the back side of hell. Then, they turn around and put on an expensive act at providing humanitarian aid to the people being blown up by the weapons they provided.
It is no different than if the govt were paying a bunch of overpriced contractors to dig holes, only to pay them again fill the holes right back in with the same dirt just excavated. Yes, it sounds stupid, because it self evidently is. Oh, and don’t forget, the cocaine import agency is involved in funding (and probably equipping) hamas, just to add another nice little angle to it all.
And as usual, we proles pick up tab for it all, and will suffer the consequences when an act of terrorism takes place right here at home by garbage tier humans who get displaced from their sandpile and show up here. All according to the master plan.
The US GOVT may as well be lead by King Fecus, for everything it touches turns to crap.
Matt Bracken recently predicted this would happen based on seasonal weather patterns. He said that sea conditions would drastically deteriorate as the summer ends.
Great News! This was never about helping the Palestinians…it was to send our troops to assist Nustanwhackadoodle in killing and removing the remaining Palestinians. The Zionist have already pre-sold the beachfront property, made natural gas and oil leases with Europe and China including a new port built with China in its Belt and Road initiative. Our so called Allie Israhell has already dumped the US for China…they just want us for cannon fodder!
