Then why do you think they’re gathering intel? Surely the situation is very different in Ukraine. A weapon system is context dependent, it doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

For sure. Thinking of this war as a giant test ground for defense industry ghouls to experiment on is horrifying

This way NASA can get 95% of the way with research/design then they can sell it cheaply to a chosen private sector firm who can make all the money.

Which firm? I’d pay attention to where memebers of Congress are investing

In polish, calling people with the neutral gender…While in english it’s completely normal thing to say if you’re not sure of a person’s gender.

Maybe I misunderstand, but you should never call someone “it” in English, except for animals and babies. Calling someone “it” is considered dehumanizing in English.

No, no, no! Not God bless America; God damn America. That’s in the Bible!

I’d guess build quality is a big factor for most of those recommenders. I like Lenovo, even though other computers have better specs, because Lenovo’s are tough and reasonably priced.

Pretty sure they have Baryraktar drones, purchased from Turkey, among other military drones.

You think China and North Korea don’t look around at adjacent territories licking their lips

North Korea only borders SK and China. It has never invaded another country. China hasn’t invaded another country since 1979 and since then Vietnam and China have peacefully resolved their land border dispute.

Before you respond like a tankie that America is an imperialist shithole, America is not the one (this time) committing war crimes, RUSSIA is.

America is committing war crimes right now. The imposition of collective punishment is a war crime. America’s comprehensive sanctions which it has applied to several countries constitute collective punishment and are hence a war crime.

Condemning the Russian invasion shouldn’t mean white washing the world’s largest perpetrator of state terrorism.
