Just another person bringing love, peace, freedom through the judicious use of 🤜

It’s not a very loving or peaceful message to support this kind of weapon.

I’m not sure that NATO cares much whether it’s members commit war crimes. Must be a very, very new policy if it does.

Can states join NATO while at war?

Makes sense when you see the US military as a way to extract wealth from it’s vassals and the global south and as an excuse not to solve the US’ domestic problems. This is just what peak capitalism looks like. I hope. If this isn’t the peak, we’re all fucked.

Capitalists really do plan to kill us all, one way or another.

Ah, in that case, I apologise and we’re in agreement. I construed it as saying the opposite, that the US wins wars without many casualties (relatively speaking) because it’s superior rather than because it learned in Vietnam that it can’t win conventional wars and so now only targets places that can’t really fight back.

I’m afraid that you may have walked into an in ongoing discussion as to whether the US military and NATO are forces for good or are particularly good at what they claim to do. People who dislike NATO and US imperialism can get a bit critical. You can’t win though, because now the USians who ‘have no [real] concept of all-out war’ will be around to get you from the other side. 😬

You mean where the US and it’s allies, with air superiority, carpet bombed the fuck out of civilian centres? Who’d have thought those school children and families cooking their supper wouldn’t put up much of a fight?

How many people did the US lose in Vietnam or Korea? How many soldiers has it lost in Ukraine, even?
