Stealing taxpayer money to build redundant weaponry?

Well, my first step would be to take money from the rest of the MiC and throw it at building said equipment, buying said land and fixing the educational system to train Americans as said skilled workforce.

Then maybe, just maybe, building redundancies for that and all other equivalents in our own country, using our own resources, under our control is a bigger "defensive" priority than literally everything else our goverment does in the name of defense?

We're not going to become a multi-planetary species if we blow up this one while we're still stuck on it. And in any case, the primary reason we're not one already isn't that we can't use rusty ex-soviet launch faculties, but that nobody's putting up the cash to build our own space...

I disagree; if France is reduced to an irradiated wasteland migrants won’t want to come.

Yeah, pretty much. France also had The Bomb so everything he’s been saying about a supposed Russian invasion on French soil is complete bullshit.

Iran being cornered doesn't matter, insofar as they don't actually have the firepower to do anything existentially threatening to the species about it. That was already the status quo. Why? The whole point of having The Bomb is to make it explicitly clear that you've got it and will use it if...

I disagree insofar as Israel-vs-Hamas only is a lot more one-sided and only involves one nuclear power (Israel) and can't escalate apocalyptically, unlike Ukraine-vs-Russia. In terms of military capacity, Israel holds all the advantages over Hamas, the only reason they haven't already...

So in other words, to win the war would require a draft. So what they're saying is, if they start the war they'd have a draft. Slavery's still wrong regardless of what the masters are forcing the slaves to do.

What the hell is acceptable "context" for "we think lots of you are going to die and we want to enslave you"?

Yes, insofar as we (American citizens) aren't gonna accept that either. 3,600 American casualties a day necessitating the return of slavery conscription for sufficient cannon fodder means the end of the country. The same oligarchy who created superpower China by sending them all our jobs as...

That's functionally the same thing since he's the one controlling their nuclear arsenal.

Another argument could be that foreign aid in Ukraine is actively worse than just disposing of the money or handing it out to politically connected cronies without even the fig leaf of embezzlement, insofar as it makes our situation worse. The current neoconservative US policy appears to be to...

Nevertheless, realpolitik remains that strict adherence to the letter of that treaty would lead to the thermonuclear annihilation of civilization, so fuck it.

Evidently he had one within reach and public censure was the only weapon available.

The abductions continue.

Sure they’d lose any real fight, but that might be the point. Give the media a juicy propaganda piece about Russia killing American soldiers to justify further intervention.

Really, NATO lost all credibility when they didn’t immediately dump Ukraine for the attempted false flag missile attack against Poland to invoke Article Five and get us all killed in a nuclear apocalypse.
