These are squad level ground launched air to ground munitions i.e. they're small enough to be carried by infantry units and have the explosive charge more akin to antitank munitions.

It has been black and white, since inception. Just on behalf of the federal government and those "complexities" you listed.

This is what nuance and the shading of gray looks like: science showing the other side of these projects, and the extreme costs which have primarily been borne by the indigenous tribes in the region.

Damnit. I hate when my local city government's finances are too fucked to pay the energy bill, but still have money for military weapons procurement.

Wait a minute....local city governments are able to purchase air launched cruise missiles and anti-tank weapons?!?! And they can export them to?!?!

Dude I think you might be onto something, that is pretty wild...makes you wonder what the dog catcher is really up to... probably moonlights with gig economy wetwork.

...it's a monarchy.

If anyone you read, or know, ever refers to a monarchy as progressive, you can immediately disregard everything they ever write, or say.

The only context where it's at least explainable would be in a limited to direct comparison between Jordan and the other regional monarchs with large petroleum reserves.

Did you just blame Trump for a Biden appointment?

Because my comment was specifically about a Biden appointment to the FAA....But if you're looking for who to blame for the FAA being shit, well that goes back a heck of a lot further, and it's a bipartisan affair.

US designates Nordic neo-Nazi group as terrorists | CNN Politics in c/politics

No, please don't expand the horrific practice of labeling of people as terrorists to use as a scarlet letter and help the FBI/DOJ get around those peski civil liberties.

The equitable answer isn't to expand the War on Terror to include more whites, it's to end it and repeal the unconstitutional laws that passed to support it.

Yes, my open salvo was directed at the Whitaker.

Also, I'm pretty sure OP is an article bot, so don't think they'd take notice, or offense, regardless lol.

Lemmy.world communities tend to be less tolerable of any direct Biden criticism, at least in my experience. Although maybe they thought I was directing that opener at OP.
