Should the US provide offensive weapons to other countries?

[Thinker101]

Hmmm, this sounds like a pro-Palestine thread.

 

[Libby von H]

We do.

BIden gave a horrble inhuman weapon recently and no one on here seems to even know

It is digusting for him to send CLUSTER BOMBS against all humane conventions but he did

Cluster munitions are so dangerous and kill so indiscriminately that their production and use has been banned by 123 countries, which have coalesced around the Convention on Cluster Munitions. Among the many reasons for the wide prohibition of cluster munitions is their unfathomably high civilian death toll.

What bomb isn’t an offensive weapon?

The means to drop it on another country is the offensive weapon.

 

[BackAgain]

The means to drop it on another country is the offensive weapon.

If I drop a bomb on another country to destroy their missile before it launches against me, what I’d say it was a defensive weapon.

 

[Toro]

Yes

Let other countries do our dirty work

 

[my2¢]

I believe our nation's ability to be an agent for peace is being severely limited while we're a leading arms dealer.

That depends on who is getting in the picture.

I mean, who wants Ellen Degeneres in the picture?

Aww man, I happen to think the Ellen is a nice looking lady. Don’t like her politics, but she’s not ugly by any means. I mean, her use of the short hair doesn’t help her, but images that I’ve seen with long hair, she’s actually quite attractive.
