Thank you

1. I don't care how they feel about the source. I think we're all grown-ups here and are capable of seeing through any propaganda the source may have added to the facts. I'm here to discuss the factual content of the article, which is rather interesting. I haven't been following the drama of northwestern Africa's territorial disputes.

2. Don't guess, because you're just wrong. 1st sentence. "The received tanks were immediately deployed to the southern part of the country, specifically to the disputed Western Sahara region." Some other commentors added more relevant info, so nice of them.

3. "has received" is indeed misleading, if you're in high school. No one receives weapons for free, not even Ukraine or Israel. Obviously Morocco paid for them.

Omg I can't handle the blue dude's gold teeth.

It's just a ship dropping out of warp a safe distance from our system. While inconvenient, it's considered best practice to drop out well away from the system's center to shed the particles you've accumulated in your warp bubble during transit. They are extremely energetic and can cause immense damage if released irresponsibly close to an inhabited planet. This is especially true when visiting a primitive world that hasn't set up any sensible warp safety systems.

The US is just getting ripped off by private contractors and the rest of the military-industrial complex.

[gestures broadly at everything]

I really think you should stop arguing and start listening.

I think your worries are misplaced. I work for an employee owned cooperative with about 60 employees. I think half of the employees are also owners. There's still a CEO, chosen by the board of directors, who are elected by the employee-owners. Day to day operational decisions are made by whoever is in charge of the relevant department, just like a shareholder-owned corporation. Bigger decisions, like long term strategy or how to distribute profits among employees, are voted on by all of the employee owners instead of shareholders. It's been in business for about 20 years and makes enough money to share profits with all employees regardless of their ownership status. So essentially this business operates like any other, but the profits are shared with the employee-owners and employees instead of going to shareholders or insane CEO salaries (compressed pay structure).

Liberty is practically a myth

Not worth dying for imo

lol that's like using household finances to describe how government debt works. Not an accurate analogy at all.
