Give them to Ukraine.
Ukraine would have won their war five times over by now with these weapons

… Yea. How come this just gets done?
Pre-existing agreements
The new arms packages include more than 1,800 MK-84 2,000lb bombs and 500 MK-82 500lb bombs, said the sources, who confirmed a report in the Washington Post.
Washington gives $3.8bn in annual military assistance to Israel, its longtime ally.
Those bombs aren’t for taking out precision targets they’re dumb bombs for flattening city blocks.
They can be used as warheads for precision-guided bombs, though. No idea if Israel is gonna do that.
Yeah, I would expect Israel to add a guidance kit to these. The kits are cheap and it makes the bombs significantly more effective.
A US guidance kit for a MK-84 is the GBU-10:
With the guidance maybe you can pinpoint a car or a person, but it won’t matter as long as the payload is still destructive enough the level city blocks.
It doesn’t matter how much guidance you put on a 2,000lb bomb. It’s still going to level several apartment towers when it hits a city.
That might be, but at least it hits what it’s aimed at instead of just lobbing them out there blindly.
It’s okay guys, we got one Hamas guy. Who cares that we killed a hundred civilians and destroyed several hundred homes?
Joey Genocide, strikes again.
Fuck Israel and fuck genocide.
Fuck Israel.
Thank god we used that money for that and not for like, Healthcare, housing, or food
The best part is where we give them more F-35s. So if we did ever want to completely cut ties they’d have our latest plane technology available for the highest bidder. And they’re much better armed if the UN ever did manage to pass a binding resolution.
They’re running the same playbook as the GOP on this one.
- That’s not true!
- okay it might be true but we need more evidence!
- Oops too late to do anything about it now. I guess we just have to leave it like that. The way I always wanted it.
