minus-squareSacredExcrement [any, comrade/them]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up36·8 months agoI feel compelled to mention that both bomb types mentioned are ‘dumb’ bombs, they have no way to be guided. Bunch of evil fucks, they won’t even bother to make Israel pinky promise they won’t kill civilians with the bombs before handing them over. You can’t convince me Biden is trying to actually win re-election, this is too willfully stupid even for captain dementia.
