Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted June 21, 2022 Author Posted June 21, 2022 These things are like giant auto cannons, only not nearly as high rate of fire, but still great for delivering multiple rounds quickly. Very good weapons system

Very good weapons system Yeah, I remember when the Crusader was designed, basically our version of this. Rumsfeld canceled it because we were never going to fight conventional wars again. Also so he could funnel more billions into Future Combat Systems, which produced... basically none of the revolutionary weapons systems it was supposed to. It sure would be nice to have a couple thousand Crusaders sitting around right now. So here we are, 20 years in the future, needing the ***** we said 20 years ago we'd never need. 1

In May, Zelensky signed into law a bill that allows the government to ban and seize the assets of any party that opposes the government's policies pertaining to the war. In other words, all public debate about the course of the war and the execution of the war is forbidden. So Ukrainian citizens questioning the merits and purpose of their governments war policies and efforts simply by expressing their "democratic" right of expression are targeted and labeled as Russian assets and following Putin's talking points. I'm wondering where they picked up that routine? It has a familiar ring, but I just can't put my finger on it!

Imagine we got invaded by China, and sleepy Joe, AOC and Pelosi said we should accept our new communist overlords. Wouldn't you want them banned?

They are not siding or advocating for the enemy. They're questioning the government for engaging in the conflict and sacrificing Ukrainian lives under what they say is a war controlled and directed by American interests. The last part I completely agree with, Washington pulls the strings and Zelensky dances.

Listen, I agree that we are using Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia, and that the US press is largely acting as the propaganda arm of the administration in terms of the war effort. But that doesn't negate the fact that Russia invaded them. 1
