Lol it’s still a gun stash. Why we Americans think a “gun stash” has to be a John Wick roomful of guns, ammo, and other weaponry to qualify as a “stash” is nuts.

You think the Russian government is plotting the destruction of Germany with 2 handguns?

A single bullet led to 22 million dead.

Kind of? Like I said it was a powder keg waiting to explode.

I have no idea how you pulled that direction out of my statement.

That said:

WW1 was started with the killing of one man.

So if you don’t think you can cause a shift of national politics with the well-placed death of one individual you’re naive.

WWI kicked off with the murder of one man, that doesn't mean it wasn't already a powder keg.

That being said, you don't see this as a massive reach for finding 2 handguns in the woods?

Good thing we aren't facing a powderkeg of WWIII.

Wait a minute! We fucking are already there.

That being said, I suppose having terrorists in your country planning murders is not a big deal if the CIA is going out every week around the world with a kill list. Modern life yo.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

100%.

WWIII will be started by America and/or Israel. I think it's obvious to anybody with any kind of political awareness at all.

I have no idea what you’re after. You’re asking for absolutes in a world with far too few of them.

No, but it may be planning the assassination of one or more dissidents or people involved in supporting the Ukrainian defence effort, or perhaps some unrelated provocation designed to influence the coming elections. And this stash is unlikely to be everything they have in the country.

And the proof it has anything to do with Russia?

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They usually go after their own people

I'm not having blue maga arguments today, I hope you find your way to truth

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Hell yeah, death to blue maga. Death to America!

Same reason that the quintessential American expects a large fast food meal to still (they don't anymore) map out to a huge portion of food.

Same reason Big Gulps are cheap.

And so it goes.

That's what they (we) were sold.
