Sending your weapons to another country to fight your enemy is not a proxy war.
This encapsulates so well the lib understanding of politics: “I will support good policy, and I’ll be against bad policy”. Sending weapons to Ukraine can’t be a proxy war because proxy wars are bad and sending weapons to Ukraine is good. Definitions don’t matter, ideology doesn’t matter, there is only instantaneous opportunism defining what’s good or bad
Then what is it??It’s a neighborhood lending library!
Shit. Um. Uh…
History began on February 2022, as always.
It’ll be interesting to see how they behave once the war is over, though since Trump is signing a peace deal they probably won’t change and will just insist that it was evil Putin controlling Trump’s strings this whole time.
They’re so good at not understanding what words mean.
And actually the us probably would be using outdated stuff several years into a near-peer modern war of attrition between competing global polarities. Seeing as we had to pull out some of the Cold War era shit to invade Iraq in 2003 which couldn’t contest an iota of airspace at that time.
But hey the capitalist press says the capitalist gun maker is happy to be making guns so I guess we better believe it’s to our benefit to be giving away our war tested equipment for new toys.
Fuckin Free Library Clauswitz here is a boner.

The single most frustrating thing about trying to educate libs. They will apparently completely forget how the very concept of language works when it suits them, but will demand perfect comprehension of the idea in their head, not the idea as they have written it.

And Americans made fun of Russia for still having old Soviet equipment lying around and deploying it to Ukraine. But they’re suspiciously silent on all the Cold War era equipment the US still has lying in stockpiles and will probably deploy at some point. Which is really funny, seeing as America might not rely on Cold War era tech as much as Russia does, but their people are sure as hell still stuck in the Cold War and falling for the Red Scare.
(Although I do have a tendency to think old Cold War equipment is cool, and if military equipment unfortunately needs to be deployed, it does look neat in pictures and footage to see the old Cold War toys getting taken off the shelf and played with, y’know?)
They sure as shit will fall back on cold war standards like small arms. You can go look at the pictures of the occupation of Iraq and in particular the fighting in Fallujah. Full length M16A2s going house to house. Outdated camo. Looking like Reagans army. All the fancy shit was in the air. The old shit was on the ground.
The cool new toys are in the air, while ground troops are stuck with Cold War junk? That sounds about right for US war doctrine. The US Army doesn’t get new equipment it needs, it gets new equipment the military industrial complex manages to sell to the politicians, or whatever neat looking toys the high command wants to play with. (Tbf, a lot of modern national armies have this problem. But criticizing the US in particular for it is easy and arguably uniquely deserved, because they’re some of the worst when it comes to the MIC and the state encouraging rather than fighting corporate war profiteering.)
It’s like lib bingo
