Jesus Christ how am I still surprised at the lack of industrial capacity in the west? Making weapons is supposed to be one of the few things they actually make! All that noise about the Storm Shadow wunderwaffe (still suspicious of those initials) back when they were first given to Ukraine and they haven't even made any news ones for a decade and a half!?

I'm no military logistics expert but aren't missiles one of those things you expect to use a lot of in an actual conflict since by their nature they're single use weapons? Wouldn't you want to keep building them, even at a reduced rate of production, just to keep that tooling/skilled workforce/institutional knowledge around?

China should do Operation Paperclip and snag a bunch of rocket scientists from a collapsing fascist state

Funnily enough the group I was raised in is named like a political ideology but I won't be any more specific than that for opsec reasons

I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.

Death to amerikkka

we saw how close the Crimer dipshit got and he was just some clueless teen with a rifle anyone in america could get their hands on.

The approach of just walking up worked vs Abe (and almost worked vs Regan) but I dunno if someone could get that close to the president nowadays.

God I love the look of wooden furniture, plastic/polymer/etc just doesn't look as nice

Also gotta chamber it in .50 Beowulf and carve "ARRÊT!" on the stock

Whaddya mean I can't just throw money at problems, I actually need infrastructure & trained personnel to produce things?

Naw I just need one more lane on the 401 please one more lane will fix it we'll make it an express lane please just one more lane that's all I'm asking

Most cucked country on the planet, it's so fucking pathetic. All the "elbows up" rhetoric (already cringey af) and they can't help but any chance they get. "Look at me america, I'm flying your flag, please don't shit all over us"

I quit playing fire emblem because of that. I forget exactly which one, it was in the Ds/3ds era, but it was a fun enough tactics game until suddenly they introduce the "I'm a thousand year old dragon that only looks like a 6 year old girl in a bikini" character

I didn't keep playing after that

Evergreen tweet

Trump just has a grudge against our brave beautiful gamblers since they ran his casino out of business

"People say, these are smart people, they say the house always wins! But these guys, I call them Greedy Gamblers, these Greedy Gamblers they just win and they win and they win! I tell tell them, haven't you heard that the house always wins? These are smart guys, they should know this! I had to get rid them! My securitrons, beautiful machines, american made, RobCo what a great American company, my securitrons, they had to get tough! These Greedy Gamblers were going to take my platinum chip, what a beautiful chip, most people use plastic but we only use the best for my chips, and it's american made not like these other casinos using the cheap stuff, probably made in china"
