Ratheon is only up %45 since this time last year, do you think theyll be okay? Do they need to find more people to kill?
Don’t worry, the US is allegedly already bombing Syria.
I think this is another scheme to manipulate the stocks, some people will buy low and know when to sell, just before some staged drama by the administration to raise the prices suddenly
you can be more certain of this if the negotiations fall apart again by another poison pill from trump.
They are no longer defense stocks, they are war stocks. Department of War.
They were always for imperialist ambitions and genocide, from the outset.
Everyone has almost figured out what the Ukraine thing was all about all along.
And what is that.
turns out some people are a bit slow
I haven’t. Please explain.
Looking at the stock prices of US weapon manufacturers right after the Ukraine war started will answer all questions.
Correlation does not imply causation.
There’s an old saying in Texas, I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says “fool me once, shame on…shame on you? You fool me, you can’t get fooled again!”
Wow. Yeah.
That explains nothing.
That’s because you need evidence in the form of a mushroom cloud.
No, but it gives a good place to start. The west has absolutely hollowed out and looted Ukraine, and used it as a battering ram to damage Russia as much as they could. The US blew up Nordstream specifically to try to decouple western Europe from cheap Russian gas. The US Empire, post-2014 Euromaidan coup, uses Ukraine similarly to how they use Israel, to secure its interests in the region.
… and I’m sure you have sources for those accusations, right?
Yes, which part are you skeptical of? I think these are pretty clear at this point, though. Most of this is from comrade @yogthos@lemmy.ml

If this appeasement offer to russia actually comes to fruition, then serious armament initiatives in Europe will only gain steam.
This so called peace agreement is nothing but an invitation for a much larger war.
They should gain steam.
My worries is EU will literally go “oh thank god crisis over, let’s start pumping that Russian gas again and drop all investments into armaments, we won’t be needing those anymore!”
No idea why were both getting downvoted. Guess the tankies are out in full force…
Yeah, I guess so too. I’ve seen these imbeciles a lot around here.
I’ve had it with these motherfucking MLs on this motherfucking .ml
I don’t see why you’re surprised that there are Marxists on a Lemmy.ml comm.
Tankies are not Marxists, they are hipster fascists likely to be employed by a troll farm. Tankies have zero clue about actual Marxism.
“Tankie” is just a pejorative for Marxists and anti-imperialists. The “tankie” is a strawman with ready-made characteristics that gets slapped on any Marxist or anti-imperialist that defends socialist countries.
and other ridiculous lies you can tell yourself
Oh how I wish piefed.world accounts could see grad comments…

I said it again, mom
