Are we seriously bringing up Arms Dealer Stock here? These bitches are still selling weapons to genocidaires.

Upvoted, it's ducked and Rheinmetal is a literal Nazi Germany company who made weapons that killed the allies of our grandparents' generation. But let's be honest: Are we not? This is what European politicians are moving towards now. Push tax money to military spending, get more nukes, redirect research into "dual use" applications, while the cuts in social programs and privatization are just an added bonus. Would be a shame to let all the information warfare that has gone into creating external enemies go to waste, now is the time to capitalize.
