Yeah in reality every bomb dropped creates an infinite feedback loop of creating more opportunities for companies to sell more bombs. What a foul world we live in.
It also created Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver, gotta break a few eggs I guess

Not doing genocide is not.
Defending is one thing.
Indiscriminate slaughter of tens of thousands (and outright targeting children), and the support and supply of, is simply barbaric and evil.
Yeah, that's what the billions and billions of dollars in aid are mostly for. It's funnelled back into the military industrial complex.
Isn't it a participation in war crimes?
