    On Funker530 you can see the unedited version. This one has a lot of cuts in it where people were finished off.

    It takes a lot of effort to be so incompetent as to neglect an AK enough to get it to continuously malfunction. I fixed a couple of them that the Iraqi Police managed to let go this bad too.

    It’s a machine subject to the same issues as other machines. Glocks jam too.

    If you want the best, look to the 1911. It was designed by a firearm genius, not some communist.

    Our tax dollars fund way too many things that they shouldn't.
    We're still funding Ukraine too.

    And half of the cat litter box.
    And a zillion other things you and I can't control.

    DOGE exposed a lot of the sheer waste. Unfortunately me caring what happens in the pacific rim won't stop or slow the thievery of our tax dollars.
     
    Is this continuing on from the last coup/civil war ? help me out here. I can't figure out which side the CCP feeding weapons to ? and which side that US spooks feeding weapons ?

    Seems that there are shit load of factions battling the government and each other. Many players financing different factions including US




    In a speech on January 29, Trump specifically mentioned DOGE’s cancellation of a $45 million scholarship for Myanmar. “We also blocked $45 million for diversity scholarships in Burma. Forty-five. That’s a lot of money for diversity scholarships. In Burma. Can you imagine where that money went,” he said, drawing chuckles from the audience.

    He brought it up again at his first address to Congress on March 5. Behind him, both Vice President J.D. Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson gestured derision at the scholarships.

    In early February, Human Rights Myanmar announced that $39.5 million in USAID funding earmarked for human rights, democracy, and media support programs has been halted. It also said that $22 million in humanitarian funding, alongside $36 million for farmers, $22 million for health programs and $30 million for education, has been suspended. In a March update, the group said Myanmar was on track to lose around $1.1 billion in foreign assistance over the second Trump term.

    I'm of the camp that believes that this is just cheap theater for us "filthy uneducated masses" to consume.

    USAID, the NED, and all those other agencies have upgraded to v2.0 - and don't expect these newer entities and their cash flow to be in the purview of the general public.

    "Foreign Aid" has "stopped" only because they've stopped broadcasting their activities.

    This is more in line with how Trump is continuing arms shipments to Ukraine, which also does not deviate with long - standing foreign policy.
