  1. You can’t line defense contractor’s pockets quick enough for the upcoming midterms if you are only spending $10k per drone

    He’s right. It’s surprising that the US is still so clueless despite having watched (and heavily involved itself in) the war in Ukraine for four years.

    It’s because Americans are so propagandized they vote against their best interests. 

  4. Now we know why we don’t have universal healthcare… Raytheon, Boeing, and company need the money guys!

    Even more crazy when you realize that one US missile costs more than what most US Billionaires paid in income tax last year.

    They have stockpile they need to empty out and put orders for other things. That’s how MIC works. It’s not like US doesn’t have tech.

    Well.. they will also try sell you a Tylenol in hospital for 40$ per pill so no one is surprised.

  8. Except they don’t. Apache cannons, CRAM, APKWS and Sidewinders are for drones. Nice marketing though.

  9. We also had a few engineers that invented cars running on water at one time. Oh and a few scientists who had a cure for cancer!

  10. You see, you need to allow enough margins to pay the lobbyists, the hookers the lobbyist needs and the health care plsn for the hookers. Also the cleanup crew should your business catch a case of “whistle blower” (Boeing).

    I know zelensky wants a deal with trump for new weapons, ammo,… But he shouldnt do this. There is no future. Even if trump makes a deal, its just temporary

    If he helps US with this stupid war, ukraine gets a target for terrorists searching for revenge

    Ukraine spend years fighting with what they could get their hand on, it’s obvious that after all that time spend fighting in a war that see heavy use of drones that they became very good at using and dealing with them.
    Are missiles bad? No, on paper they are superior to everything Ukraine use to deal with Russian drones strike, the thing is that those missiles are more of a general purpose weapons, costy ones, that are used to deal with drones against which much cheaper specialised mean would do the trick, they aren’t efficient.
    The fact that the US army didn’t learn from seeing Ukraine use and counter measure against drone is kinda appalling.
