All the silicon, steel, plastic, chemicals, fuel, and energy that could go to anything else besides death and destruction. agony-acid

You're right, but in addition I hate to think about the sheer tonnage of CO2 that has been burned by a year of fighter jets dropping bombs and tanks rolling through refugee camps.

And that's before we even talk about the long-term effects of that much lead and depleted uranium sitting in the ground.

The US Navy is gonna find out why Americans don't have free healthcare... or something.

[-] SoJB@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

To be fair, not even the US Navy gets healthcare LMAO

If there’s one statement that has a 100% approval rating among hexbears…

Even my suburban mom who was the loveliest most mom-like mom would say "I hope the US credit and banking system collapses someday", she would approve of the hexbear policy platform heart-sickle

Though no U.S. Navy warship has taken damage from the attacks – although there have been claims to the contrary

lol, they got hit.

[-] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 39 points 1 day ago

There was that ship that had to withdraw for repairs for unknown reasons but they claimed it totally wasn't because it got hit. Imagine how hard the usn will get hit against a near peer enemy with modern anti ship missiles and drone swarms when they're already struggling this hard against a handful of drones and 70s era hand me down AShMs from China and Iran.

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I don't believe they have. Yemen's loose attacks have all be repelled and they probably don't want to actually hit a ship since that'd mean actual occupation and full scale invasion of their country

[-] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 1 points 21 hours ago

Honestly, I doubt it. America is so busy elsewhere.

Japan had this really fucked up society around the time of WW2 and before. The military was all over the region, attacking stuff, starting little wars everywhere. The average person had basically no say in what the military was doing. Not even their legislature had any influence.

[-] Meh@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

It must end the same way xi-plz

[-] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago

How else is Yemen supposed to find out why America doesn't have healthcare?

[-] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 39 points 1 day ago

The profit margin on these weapons are in the ballpark of 300-3000%, and every middleman on materials and parts along the way does the same song and dance for more handouts.

[-] enkifish@hexbear.net 34 points 1 day ago

The question is, have the bourgeoisie any capacity left for self discipline? Once a shooting war starts with a peer power, will they be able to forgo these juicy profits to ensure their own survival? Their response to the climate crisis says no, but that's still a rather abstract problem to most people. The COVID response also say no. Will the fear of dying in a Chinese prison camp finally do it?

Well the Russian boug seem to be managing.

[-] BobDole@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

The Russian military industrial complex is (at least mostly) state owned

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

Yeah but the state is mostly boug owned. I've heard it framed as Russia having a national industrial boug while the NATO blob has an international financial boug. The Russian boug have to cooperate to protect themselves from predation by the international financial boug.

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

Not really, it is more like one half of bourgeoisie eating the other half.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

Good thing we're also sending them to ukraine and in response to us telling them to slow down because they're shooting them faster than we can make them with limited progress to show for it and in exchange ukraine keeps blaming us for not fighting their war for them hard enough.

[-] Runcible@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago

ukraine keeps blaming us for not fighting their war for them hard enough

Ukraine is very much fighting NATO's war
