Sure, they thought they didn’t need the capability anymore, that satellites would keep making it more and more obsolete and here we are, when they realize those satellites will last as long as it takes for a missile or hunter killer to intercept it in a real peer nation war.

And now they’re finding out the factory that provided the titanium or polycarbonate whatever got moved to Beijing in 2004.

That or this is all a very stupid PR stunt, or they just wanted to strip it for parts, who the hell knows?

Shit, if you told me Trump just sold it to the Saudis and pocketed the cash that’s believable too.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

Conservatism depends on the context within the nation, but Anglosphere conservatives at a minimum work within a liberal democratic context. Everything listed under ideological liberalism is something “conservatives” used to claim as their values.

Used to. That “conservatives” are openly embracing fascism as their “third way” is reflected in that very Wikipedia article which has been radically changed from it’s state even from last year as I recall.

That the article has been changed to claim the “three main ideologies” of the past century as “liberalism, socialism, and conservativism” is some straight up scary revisionist nonsense. Just ask yourself which of those three fascism belongs to and you’ll understand why.

Churchill was a Conservative. The Australian Liberal Party are conservatives, etc etc etc.

In other words, there is the ideological definition of liberal, of which conservativism is supposed to be a branch, and there’s the casual usage that means “right winger” and that is contextual and rapidly coming to mean fascist.
