How much money is being wasted fighting for a genocide that could be spent at home making life better?

Billions. Meanwhile China is sitting back and enjoying the collapse of the West over Israel

At least it did a loop-de-loop

If I hear one more peep I am turning this plane around!

The cool thing about transport planes is that they aren't just useful in war. It's a big flying box. Sure it could be sending weapons or troops, but it could just as easily be sending doctors or diplomats or vehicles for a security team. Or nothing, but will be used to take stuff out of the region.

You already payed for the A400M, and it's perfectly suited for sketchy neighborhoods like this since it can carry countermeasures. Why not use it?

It's a massive military transport plane. This would be like sending a Boeing 737 instead of a private jet. Makes zero sense.

That would sure change the future.

I do think that it is +psychic damage to anyone that knows what's going on over there.

They're probably assisting the US or Israel.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
