    Your tax dollars at work. You could’ve had free education, Medicare for all, functioning roads and infrastructure, end homelessness, but instead we’re bombing fucking brown people in the Middle East. Let’s waste all this money and blow up the fucking desert mountains in Iran while simultaneously fucking over the rest of the world and raising gas prices to 10 bucks a gallon.

      There is something slightly humbling about the fact that in the face of so much firepower and human “destruction”; that it can be countered well simply by the powers of nature and some human planning.

      Basically, yeah, you have trillions of dollars of weapons research and ammunition spreading over decades. Nice. But we’re just gonna use natural geological structures, the best concrete recipe known to man, Toyota trucks, and low cost drones we optimized to all hell for affordability. We’ll be here until you decide to leave…

        Russian government hasn’t acknowledged this for 4 years straight. And you want the USA government(which is not much smarter) to do it in less than 2 months?

      What gets me is there is still people supporting this. I find it hard to imagine how we’ll ever progress given we can’t even agree on the problems to be solved.

        Because theyve been raised in the belief that shooting yourself in the leg is worth it as long as some random person you will never meet loses both their legs.

      Sounds very familiar… Ah, yes. Russia does the same shit. So now it is the USA who repeats after the Russia, not the opposite.
