Yall are getting all up in your feelings over a joke. My initial post was a joke. This thread has since morphed into a convo about the inevitability of the MIC and international law. (International law is mostly meaningless now. The genocide in Gaza has seen to that. Sure it’ll be respected when it’s convenient. But much of the authority it once commanded has been greatly diminished.)
Either way. Spades are broke. Killbots are inevitable. Remember how during G-Dub’s war on peace the US just unilaterally dictated anyone within X feet of a bomb impact or drone strike was automatically designated a valid “enemy combatant”? They’ll do that again. They’ll change definitions to skirt whatever international law inconveniences them at the time.
