Every person involved in making this decision deserves to be buried in an unmarked grave with the weapons they love so much. How many innocent people completely uninvolved with the war are going to grow up suffering the effects of depleted uranium rounds? Another absolutely monstrous decision in a long line of monstrous decisions by the US government.

Yes, we get it, the response to literally every decision you don't like is massacre of the people you don't like

It's almost like I've seen this same redfash response multiple times 🤔

Redfash one hell of an oxymoron considering the reds are in the habit of killing fash.

There are complications, but a dialectical analysis shows that redfash are indeed fascists, and there's no need for Holocaust denial to say so

"You are treating a specific example like a broad generalization to deflect someone's valid point"

vs.

"Heard that one before smuglord"

Fallacy of the beard. Marx's beard, even.
