  • Funnily enough, I was returning a call the other day from an 800 number I was mostly expecting that lead to a Philippine call center and thought "If it was a scammer it'd just be pretending to be America"

    Even ending up being legitimate. Wild times. Effective government, yay.

  • Right, but this is the Philippines just buying some missiles so Marcos Jr can act tough, like their one squadron of fighters and some dudes with rifles won't just be begging the US Navy to keep the scary Chinese away. If Ukraine had cash in hand I have no doubt they could have found some people to sell them some missiles of dubious value.

    I understand what you're saying, I just don't think it's that worth getting worked up over for a fluff piece.

    At least now that the military aid is going strong again.

  • Hindu nationalists blame the Mughals for British colonialism and claim oppression under their rule. Modi specifically has some call outs for some of their emperors, because that's what reasonable people do, beef over something that happened 400 years ago under a monarchy.

    All while ignoring the Hindu purges of Buddhists, Jainists, and Muslims themselves btw

  • Yeah, it's pretty funny when you step back and go "Okay, sure, America produced more war material than literally the entire Axis put together twice over. But also the main oil producers of the time turned out to be America, the USSR, and Britain? They also had literally the world's entire rubber supply?"
