RAF and Italian Air Force sign agreement for cross-maintenance of fighters

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 01/26/2024 - 15:00 in Military

The British Royal Air Force has signed a formal agreement with the Italian Air Force that paves the way for the service and maintenance of the Eurofighter Typhoon and F-35B Lightning aircraft of each.

The signing of the implementation agreement follows the Declaration of Intent "Long History, Long Future: Tornado to Tempest" signed at RAF Marham last May. Agrees on the financial, legal and airworthiness principles for mutual maintenance and cross-service on common platforms, aircraft and weapon systems.

Once established, RAF engineers will be able to perform limited cross-maintenance services and activities on Italian Air Force aircraft, and vice versa, during exercises and operational Air Policing around the world.

The measure is part of broader NATO Employment in Agile Combat initiatives to improve the mutual operational advantage of nations by operating better together.

The agreement was signed at Amendola Air Base on behalf of the RAF by the RAF Support Director, Deputy Air Marshal Shaun Harris, and for the Italian Air Force by Generale Michele Oballa, Logistics Command of the Italian Air Force.

The ability to interoperate on the ground, providing engineering support to NATO partners, is increasing the agility and speed of response of combat air forces. This important agreement between the RAF and the Italian Air Force will strengthen the interoperability of the Typhoon and F-35 and lay the foundations for the cross-service of the Global Air Combat Program (GCAP).

In the next 12 months, the RAF and the Italian Air Force will jointly develop, exercise and validate the technical and administrative processes and procedures to achieve the full operational capacity of Typhoon and F-35 by 2025.

University Hosts Event Disparaging Women

Minnesota State University Moorhead is hosting an event titled “Let’s Talk About TERFs” on April 8, 2021. TERF (“Transgender-Exclusive Radical Feminist”) originally designated radical feminists who did not include transgender-identified people under the LGB umbrella, but the term has become a catch-all insult for any woman who expresses concerns or questions about anything related to transgender ideology: "Trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs) argue that including trans women in women’s spaces like sports erases the rights and experiences of cis women, straight and queer. What’s really at the root of this transphobic ideology? How are feminism and women’s rights weaponized against the trans community to ultimately harm all women and gender non-conforming people, and how can we fight back? Tune in to find out![i]" The epithet “TERF” has close, if not parallel, connotations to misogynistic slurs like b*tch and c*nt. It is often used to dehumanize women and to advocate violence against them.[ii] Minnesota State University Moorhead’s event might equivalently be titled, “Let’s Talk About B*tches,” “Let’s Talk About C*nts,” or “Let’s Talk About [INSERT RACIAL SLUR HERE].” Calling reasonable and credible concerns about women’s safety “transphobic” is gaslighting at its finest. Framing women’s rights as “weaponized against the trans community” is a classic DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) tactic cherished by abusers worldwide. Considering transgender rights activists’ relentlessly savage personal and professional assaults[iii] on anyone who doesn’t fall in line with their outrageous demands, the organizers of this program have no grounds on which to stand when they imply that they have been unfairly targeted for abuse and are justified in organizing to “fight back.” Partners for Ethical Care has reached out to the university, but has received no response. We encourage anyone who also finds this misogynistic event unacceptable to contact the university, its president, and/or its board of directors and tell them so:

Minnesota: Muslim immigrants are running for office, winning and reshaping the state’s politics

As Minneapolis burns, it’s clear how electing foreign Muslims - and white, far-left liberals - is working out. **More links at end of post

Also note the subtle racism now pervasive in the media, and by the Muslim author, where they capitalize the word black but not white. The article simultaneously highlights black, mostly Muslim, immigrants rise in politics while leaving unsaid that non-immigrant black Americans are being leap frogged by immigrants. Supposedly a good thing.

Young, educated and Black: Here’s how Minnesota’s politicians with African roots are reshaping the state’s politics.

 by Ibrahim Hirsi

Barely four years ago, the highest-ranking elected official in the community was Abdi Warsame, a Somali immigrant who was sworn into the Minneapolis City Council in January 2014. 

Now, the state can count at least 13 Black immigrant elected officials, including U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar; state Representatives Mohamud Noor and Hodan Hassan; and Mayor Mike Elliott of Brooklyn Center. 

In the DFL August primary, a few more Black immigrants emerged victorious. Among them are 30-year-old Omar Fateh, who will likely win a seat in the State Senate; and 35-year-old Esther Agbaje who secured another likely spot in the State House. 

The surge in the number of Black immigrants seeking elected positions is conspicuous not only in the Twin Cities metro area. It’s also taking place outside the metro area, in cities like Mankato, St. Cloud and Austin. 

...

Near the beginning of his presidency, Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Immigration Nationality Act of 1965, which opened the doors to non-European immigrants. But he could not have foreseen the full magnitude of the impact the law would have on places like the Twin Cities and beyond. 

Moments before Johnson signed the landmark immigration reform bill into law on Oct. 3, 1965, at the foot of the Statue of Liberty in New York, he downplayed the effects the legislation would have on the United States. “This bill that we will sign today is not a revolutionary bill,” he reminded Americans during the signing ceremony. “It does not affect the lives of millions. It will not reshape the structure of our daily lives.”

The president was wrong.

The legislation, also known as the Hart-Cellar Act, has affected millions of lives. It’s changed the demographics of metropolitan areas across the nation. It’s driven population growth as birth rates slow for Americans. It’s provided a steady stream of labor for emptying American farms and factories. 

And now, in Minnesota, it’s drawing more Black immigrants to seek political seats in federal, state and local governments. Since 2016, according to an unofficial headcount by Sahan Journal, at least 50 African immigrants have run for public offices in Minnesota.

...

With at least 10 elected officials now serving various public offices, Somalis make up the greatest number of Black immigrants becoming elected officials in Minnesota. Most of them represent neighborhoods that have large concentrations of foreign-born residents. 

In south Minneapolis, for instance, Somalis have elected representatives to a wide range of political offices. The most famous official is, of course, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, whose win in the August DFL primary race for the 5th District likely secured her another term in Washington.

...

The list of elected Somali officials gets longer each cycle: Mohamud Noor and Hodan Hassan serve in the State House; Jamal Osman recently won a special election for a seat to in the city council; Siad Ali joined the city’s school board in 2014; and AK Hassan is a commissioner on the Park Board.

But the Somali community has also gained a foothold more broadly. Warsame, who resigned his post as a Minneapolis councilman early this year, became CEO of Minneapolis Public Housing Authority. In 2019, Hamse Warfa joined the governor’s administration, becoming deputy commissioner at the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, (DEED). And in June, Anisa Hajimumin became assistant commissioner at DEED.

...

Most of the estimated 20,000 Liberian Americans live in the northwestern suburbs of the Twin Cities, including Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center. Earlier this year, Yakasah Wehyee, the Ph.D. candidate at the University of Minnesota, took office as a city council member in Falcon Heights.

Political observers may expect Somalis and Liberians to win some races in cities with large immigrant populations. But African immigrants have started to run for office farther afield, in places like St, Cloud, Mankato, and Austin.

In Austin, Oballa Oballa, 27, is busy these days putting up campaign signs and knocking on doors for his bid to join the city council.

...

The Hart-Cellar Act allowed millions of non-European immigrants to establish permanent homes in the U.S. While Black immigrants make up only 2.5 percent of the state’s population overall in the state, the majority of these residents are concentrated in the Twin Cities metro area.

That concentration has given them not just the political will—and a voting bloc—to pursue state and local elected seats. It’s also allowed them to establish successful businesses, vibrant social hubs, schools and religious centers: institutions that have given Black immigrants a true sense of belonging.   

These candidates don’t just represent African immigrants in the mainstream of Minnesota civic life. Rather, people from Somalia, Liberia, Ethiopia and more have become the mainstream itself.
