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
That's a different claim than "LM is responsible for [thing they could not forsee]"
they care about who takes them less or gives them tax breaks
They will BOTH still let them sell shit
either way, i wouldn't run an ad asking for pictures of our product after it has been made public that our product was used to kill 40 children. particular if it was not a product that civilians can own. That is just gonna potentially hurt sales of products civilians can buy but do nothing to boost sales of government only products.
public 2 days earlier*
They weren't advertising for that missile, they just said "pictures of our products"
It just backfired in a satisfyingly snarky way
drawing that attention away from the bomb itself and who did it, to themselves, and then onto their other products.
they wait a week or two, people would forget and just blame the US government and Saudi.
Eh, easy mistake tbh. Particularly for a US military contractor
How often do you think American made weapons get used by foreign countries for dumb and awful shit? Probably fairly often
oh all the time, just like the AK is used all over.
but usually is the US to blame because the manufactures are not trying to brag about their products right after one of those things happen.
I suppose I am conflating some things, but still, I find them generally more culpable than gun manufacturers who don't make full auto or sniper-range stuff
It's probably quite the crapshoot to promote yourself
on a normal day, yeah.
So if a manufacturer made "sniper range" and "full-auto" stuff they're culpable too?
but usually they can hide behind the US being at fault for the bad stuff, and then take claim for the good stuff
Which like, I genuinely don't know what you mean by a "sniper range" gun
Like a rifle?
full-auto sniper system using 30 caliber magazine clips
lol
Wew
Memes aside though
if only that meme wasn't something actually said by someone trying to push gun control
i mean, i guess its a meme by combining two different things they claimed in the same press release
You can ruin someone's day from a long way off with a lot of civilian firearms
