MAGAThread XVI: Raising the Barr

[Gormwood]

When the United States emulating Russia is suddenly a good thing...

Hypocrisy to own the libs?

There is no price ever too high to own the libs.

[Kowani]

Hypocrisy to own the libs?

There is no price ever too high to own the libs.

Helping the libs to own the libs?

Hypocrisy to own the libs?

"Did you own the libs?"

"Yes."

"What did it cost?"

"Everything."

Meanwhile In Russia.

When the United States emulating Russia is suddenly a good thing...

They’re making money off the backs of idiots who need guns, I fail to see why we can’t do the same.

If the government of Saudi Arabia were just idiots then it would be ok.

However, the government of Saudi Arabia isn't just idiotic, it's cruel and repressive of it's own citizens freedom.

"Did you own the libs?"

"Yes."

"What did it cost?"

"Everything."

"And it was worth it to own the fucking libs!"

Indeed. The moment you choose to sell guns to other states, you're in an ethical pickle.

[Loben The 2nd]

we sold guns to right wing death squads in the 80s irc, Israel at multiple points (and still do), various "freedom fighters".

Russia meanwhile has its arms seen all over the 3rd world (and Germany too) and its likely one of the things keeping their MIC alive.

Again, selling those guns to right wing death squads was still a bad thing to do.

So was selling guns to "freedom fighters". With one particularly bad sale of guns to "freedom fighters" being the mujahideen.


Russia doing this does not make it ethical.

The US selling guns to Saudi Arabia is bad and unethical no matter who is in charge.

When the recipient should have guns.

[Zurkerx]

The Federal Reserve cuts the interest rates by about .25, lowering them to 2-2.25%, citing implications of global developments for the economic outlook as well as muted inflation pressures.

Hmm, our economy they say has moderate growth and a strong labor market but still cut rates anyway. This is bound to please God Emperor Trump. However, it should be a worrying sign as with these low rates as they are, when a recession hits, especially a bad one, then the feds won't be able to lower the rates as much. Eh, we'll see if it makes a difference but if the economy is already slowing globally, I don't think a rate cut is going to do much.

Yes.

[Gormwood]

:?:

Yes.

Since selling military arms to Saudi Arabia is no big deal to you, say, selling a uranium mine to Russia is no big deal to you then either?

[Telconi]

Yes.

Not Loben, but I can't see why it would be.

[An Alan Smithee Nation]

Yes.

Selling guns to ISIS is ethical?

Maybe the US should just sell North Korea and Iran some nukes.

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

:?:

Yes.

TIL: selling guns to the mob, terrorests, gang members, pimps, mass murders and, other criminals is perfictly ok aslong as they can pay for it.

[Telconi]

Yes.
