It's good for a lot more than that. The heat treating facility I worked at, hardened a lot of steel, that is used BY the contractors, and so did the plating companies I dropped the stuff off to. It's fucked up, but war is good for business, unfortunately, they figured that out during WWII, when we were absolutely doing the right thing, for the right reason, and have exploited it, ever since. We really had no business being in Korea or Vietnam, and as far as the first gulf war, I have mixed feelings, the second one was all Cheney(haliburton) and Bush(a mindless patsy that obeyed Cheney) reaping profits from oil, and exploitation. The other problem is, we are clearly thinning ourselves out way to much, and other forces can see, and exploit that. What happens when we need those munitions to defend home soil. The thoughts of no one EVER being able to invade our country, are no longer realistic. China and Russia, do have some capability there. Especially Russia, being just a stones throw across the Bering Sea.
Sarah Palin can alert us.
It doesn't help Israel's case that this isn't the first of medical personnel causalities, even in this conflict alone. The last part there in particular would indicate that they're fine with targeting medical facilities if it's used by Hamas.
No one. Neither side wants cohabitation, they both want extermination. One side is full of religious zealots, the other a group that has dealt with attempts to exterminate them, both in WWII, and in their new homeland. I'm not condoning Israel's actions, but I think much of what they do is out of fear, that they still carry from decades ago. I also think they feel entitled to do as they please, because long ago they were handed a victim card, and someone forgot to put an expiration date on it. So, they both suck, and unfortunately it comes down to who is the lesser evil.
Exactly. Which is why that cartoon from Orban is appropriate.
That seems to be your thing these days. I wouldn't want to intrude.
I truly hate that. By that logic, the Japanese should have the right to nuke anyone they please. But instead, they banned any nuclear weapons on their soil. Even the US forces in Japan can't carry nukes. I'd say that is a better approach.
I use AI because it can access, analyze, and make insightful conclusions about complex topics from vast amounts of data.
Well that's my opinion, I don't know that it's really true. I assume, though I shouldn't. you don't like it because you feel the same? As far as Japan goes, we had no choice. The American people lost so many men fighting in the Pacific, not doing something that could have prevented the massive loss of life, by invading the mainland, would have caused an uproar.
I won't get into a discussion about whether the nukes should have been used in the way they were. That's a topic worthy of its own thread, and people much more knowledgeable than myself have debated it.
