Genocide is ok because it happened in the past? Glad to know how much you respect the rule of law and whatever.

Canada’s military was responsible for the subjugation and genocide of many First Nations group, including against the Metis, Cree, and Assiniboine peoples, as well as deployed abroad to subjugate the Boers in South Africa in support of the British Empire. The Canadian Army was also deployed in Afghanistan, where Western powers fought for two decades to replace the Taliban with the Taliban and caused untold amounts of suffering in the process.

Now do Iran.

Considering Canada declared Iran’s army as a terrorist entity…

Car infrastructure has always been funded out of public coffers. The personal automobile is not inherently a profitable enterprise to a country. It serves primarily as a way of improving personal mobility and thus second- and third- order economic productivity.

Subways and trains are vastly more efficient systems, but unfortunately they don’t have the same military logistics benefits.

In terms of actual companies, we’re seeing a bit of a renaissance with EVs because EVs are inherently simple, easy to commoditize, and don’t require as significant amounts of government support. China has basically cut government backing out of their EV industry, which has led to some consolidation but somehow has not ended the price war.

That’s $1 million per loitering munition? Meanwhile the Lancet is $20000, the Chinese equivalent is even less, and the Israeli-made IAI Harpy (sold to China, India, etc.) is about $70000.

I’d love to be a US defence contractor.

The one where… Tank man blocked a convoy of tanks by standing there?

The one where he was pulled away by his friends afterwards?

It’s sort of challenging to hide a crushed body, and yet no journalists who were there the night of or the morning after reported anything. No photographic evidence is available.

I’ve given up trying to convince people here otherwise. lemmy.ml at least gives sane discussion on this issue.

maintenance cost on F-35s are sort of absurd

tbh I’m not convinced that high-maintenance stealth aircraft will have a role in modern conflicts. The Russia-Ukraine war is highlighting the issues with over engineered Western weapons in sustained conflict. If you don’t dominate the opponent logistically, they’re impractical.

it’s funny how often it happens lol

Yes but it’s pro-Western and thus good

Reuters truly the “most factual” news site

Welcome to Poland

Haha no

That’s just how free speech works

F-35s are absurdly expensive compared to F-16s though

religious fanaticism in all regards

they spent decades fighting off two superpowers playing around in their backyard

sucks to be you then

We literally saw a university president get deposed from their position for having a politically unpopular position lmao
