The impressive thing was that the APAM ATACMs are Block 1 essentially retired munitions. Ous would be really proud that our aerospace industry has been almost flawless even with surplus gear.

Where’s the “tweets that didn’t age well” thread?

Come on you guys, don’t let they/them down with this one.

This is the tweet:
If Russian leadership would rather not be accused of committing war crimes, they should stop bombing hospitals.
You're gonna have to explain how this "didn't age well." Because I can't think of an explanation OTHER than you're still sucking down the highly-questionable (at best) anti-Israel talking point at face value, and regurgitating it.

i don’t know why you waste your energy, fish
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Our friend here warned us of the consequences of irresponsible reporting on the Gaza City hospital. I think it's very important to show examples of why he was right.

Misinformation is sticky, man. Even after the 'mis' part is plain.

I think its ironic after all the accusations of nazism (and actual calling people nazis) in this thread....where Ous falls on the Middle East thread.

Dangit, that was supposed to be DC bait.

It didn’t age well in the sense it’s western leaders once again picking and choosing which war crimes are war crimes, and which are like nbd and actually you’re just a bad guy propagandist or whatever.

Now now, Genghis Khan committed war crimes in the 12th and 13th centuries. As we all know that means Russia is blameless here.

we are all wrong, you are the only one who is all knowing and invariably correct. I applaud your ability to separate absolute truths from the stream of shit.

The presence of an actively-warmaking nation on the security council of the United Nations…doesn’t speak well to the legitimacy of the United Nations.

i actually don’t take issue, generally, with what he was asking of Sweden in order to support their entry…i actually see it as a feature of the membership process rather than a flaw

i’m more “bothered” by Orban’s recent meeting with vlad
