I only saw him beg( threaten) for money and not give even estimates. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children) Probably the same things you watched. He very literally complained that they were just about out of munitions and that was why he was there begging for money. He keeps whining that our national safety is at risk because of their dumb asses. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 child) Come on Denmark, now's the time to invade the US. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children) Hey!

Especially at the rate we're going through them because literally all they seem to care about right now is bombing the shit out of other countries. And the cost for that much munition is absolutely astounding. Either way the whole thing is absolutely deranged. We have zero business running around kidnapping world leaders, threatening to annex other countries, and starting wars indiscriminately. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 child) And we look to be wanting to do more. We keep threatening Greenland, Rubio just put out a report that basically looks like an invasion plan for Cuba, I'm interested in whether they're trying to put together some sort of plausible sounding casus belli against Mexico or Canada too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* If he's idiots have their way we're going to burn through every last missile. And we're going to fire them at people who are not currently firing at us.
