I'd say all U.S. weapons sales are pretty fucking offensive.

Yeah, I mean they got that one ordinance that flies towards you and chops you specifically into a few pieces. That's offensive. But they could do better. Like a rocket with a dildo that just looks for your holes and explodes when it rains it self deep inside. But maybe not a big explosion, just enough to cause you bleeding for a few seconds and then sort of increasing damage leading to a big pop at the end. Basically the same intent of a bunker buster, but with a smaller scale and a few twists.

To anyone that hasn’t yet seen the movie Idiocracy, watch it now. Best documentary you’ll ever watch.

This after announcing arms to Israel the week before:

Saudi Arabi is hostile to Iran (as is Israel) too.

I’m imaging a bunch of baseball bats with dicks drawn on them.

It sounds like we're planning on a major regional conflict unfolding. Hopefully the plans are merely precautionary.
