i get their point here, I just don't really care I guess
and its more a question of "what did you think would get posted"
the word couldnt is not the point of contention
this isn't some ad on tv scheduled weeks ago
or in some ad network getting played at random
Lockheed Martin deleted the tweet in question, it's funny to see the incident covered even if you disagree with the spinning of it as LM being "fucking idiots"
it would have been funny if they retweeted the article about their product being used to kill kids and said "Got any exciting photos?"
i mean, thats basically what they did in the end.
Trump should have never touched the orb, he's tainted now
>contractor for US Military
>do your job
>US sells weapon you made for them to another country
>you are responsible for what happens
???
@Beemann isn't the US just allowing lockheed to sell it?
so the US govt doesn't sell directly unless its in stock
but I get the point
Are they?
That was always my impression
like the tanks I signed over to the Iraqi Army
those were in stock
My question ultimately is "how many steps removed do they have to be for it to not be their fault"
i signed... i think 10 over to them
I mean, if you sell to a person who is known for doing horrible things, are you not at part responsible?
its fucking Saudi Arabia
did they say "hey bruh. I'm gonna go blow up some kids"
I suppose if the government decided to cut ties with Saudi Arabia and end foreign interventionism in general that LM lobbyists would just sit by and let it happen, then?
Or do we live in reality
A trusted US Ally (tm)
@Risotto why not
it wouldn't stop the US from allowing them to sell the product
????
That's a different thing you're blaming them for too
Not that it would ever happen regardless
Like go back and look at "isolationism" back during before WW1
yes, the trusted us ally who often likes to fund the bombing of another trusted us ally
Doesn't change the weird relationship you guys have with em
its not weird, they have oil.
at no time did that STOP US Defense Contractors (which at that point were basically small factories and companies) from selling to foreigners
annoying
So do many other countries
Including ones that didn't participate in 9/11
If you have one guy, let's call him Bernie, saying interventionism is bad, and another person, let's call them Hillary, saying we need to spread democracy throughout the Levant, which campaign would LM be more likely to donate to?
@Risotto You're mistaken if you think that they give a shit who won based on that
