    If you need any more proof that network news is state propaganda, this is it. Clutching your pearls about how a sovereign state defends itself is peak fucking entitlement. The USA is the Meca-Streisand Karen of the world, I say this as a disaffected 'Merikan myself.

      Exactly, like this whole premise that two sovereign nations are not allowed to trade because it’s inconvenient for the US is a really wild premise when you think about it.

        Obligatory US troop copypasta


        You see american choppers in the bright blue sky, hundreds and hundreds of screaming american soldiers drop from it, you look across the field and see the tanks rolling in. You hear a loud explosion and realise that the shrine you have protected for thousands of years with tooth and nail is destroyed by the empire, you come to the realisation that this is very probably the end of your people who’ve struggled to survive all these centuries.You realise that very soon there is going to be a river of blood of your people here; white phosphorus and depleted uranium will be shot very soon, deforming babies for decades to come, and millions of your people are gonna be killed. Your millennia old language and religion will be wiped out, you’re very likely the last of your kind.

        Suddenly, an American soldier kicks you down, puts his foot on your neck and aims his standard ar-15 on the side of your head all while screaming; you realise you’re gonna die, and you won’t have to see the destruction of your community that you fostered so carefully all these centuries for.

        Just before he pulls the trigger, you think to yourself, “To be fair to him, he probably had a low GPA in highschool and didnt have a health-care, those are notoriously hard to get in America”.

    Probably a Russian system. So far no Chinese arsenal was shown by the Iranian resistance.

    China if you’re reading this:

    Who gives a shit, when US are the ones invading. They should fuck right off, just as Russia should fuck out of Ukraine.

    It’s no different.

      Even more relevant, US soldiers and assets have been destroyed by US weapons. The US gave weapons to the Taliban, which were then used to fight the US. Who gives a shit where they came from?

        That’s a little different, don’t you think?

        Having your own side supply your enemy

        Compared to:

        Supporting an ally with weapons to defend their own country.

    Duh? This is the equivalent of Ukraine for our enemies. They get to test their shit without risking open conflict…
