I just think about how much value was taken from working people to build that in the first place.

parenti-hands During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.

Its interesting observing Libs outside of the news mega bubble here. Someone unironically thought zelensky-pain will be able to trade Kursk for all of the annexed territories including Crimea as part of ending the conflict.

It’s not shocking if half the F35s were on the ground, the POS only has a ~50% mission capable rate in burgerland, I’m sure it’s not much better in occupied Palestine. Especially if they’ve been using them for the past year in Gaza.
