      Saw some idiot on Al Jazeera say “stopping weapons transfers really won’t do anything, as the US has given them enough to last years and years.” (they also have domestic production)

      Like, he’s right but holy fucking shit, dude.

          Absolutely. Of all places to see rhetoric like that, Al Jazeera? Granted, it was just some US Defense dog they were interviewing about the current escalation.
