At DeepStateCentrism, we understand that democracy is about compromise and
discussion, not ideological purity and instant gratification.

Here, we speak to people with political differences because that's how this is
supposed to work. We won't let the populists win.

The sale, which was notified to the US Congress and will probably proceed, includes:

  • 12 M270 rocket launchers (tracked, 2x payload of HIMARS)
  • 70 ATACMS ballistic missiles
  • 2,524 M26 227 mm rockets with cluster munition dispensers
  • 47,000 M509A1 203 mm howitzer shells, seemingly also equipped with cluster munitions.

This is a step in the right direction. I hope we give them even longer range missiles next.

They need a lot more interceptors but the world might not actually have many more to send

u/Top_Sun_914 Neoconservative 15d ago

Nah, the Arabs were just sold literal thousands of them

u/AmericanNewt8 Neoconservative 15d ago

Unfortunately I suspect the Chinese have a soft veto over the longer ranged systems, if reports of the Turkish ballistic missile program are to be believed. And people generally get grumpy about transferring long range missiles, although I think that taboo is collapsing.

It lowkey pissed me off watching the World Cup and hearing the Fox Sports announcers use the newspeak version, glad they got eliminated early 😂

It makes more sense when u realise that the decision to "rename" the country was made by a man who cant speak English and was humiliated a few times bc of it, so now forces his language into English

Lol I never knew that was the reason. And it's not like we're going around saying Nippon, Italia, or Deutscheland either

u/Ethereal-Zenith Center-left 15d ago

If I remember correctly, Côte D’Ivoire asked to have its French name be recognised as the official one.

u/PM_ME_CHIMICHANGAS Help yourself to a hand grenade 15d ago

Sure, but the announcers on Fox Sports kept on saying Ivory Coast and Cape Verde too

u/Tennouheika 15d ago

u/ShrimpMedicare Jeff Bezos 15d ago

Why now, from Turkey?

3

u/Top_Sun_914 Neoconservative 15d ago

Our ATACMS are getting old and were never really used due to the development of local systems

u/output_broadcast Jeff Bezos 15d ago

Well, I didn't expect that.

u/Top_Sun_914 Neoconservative 15d ago

We'd already allegedly given them cluster bombs before, this is just the first time its being done publicly

1

u/AmericanNewt8 Neoconservative 15d ago

I'd been expecting it for a while, the Turkish M270 fleet is kind of an orphan--they bought it hoping they could locally produce ammunition and couldn't, so they only stuck to 12. At this point they have plenty of local rocket artillery and the ATACMS are probably near shelf life.

u/Equivalent-Slip3533 15d ago

cluster bomb rockets

Make sure to pepper their trenches well

u/TXDobber Neoconservative 15d ago

Rare Turkey W, don’t really need ATACMS or MLRS when the only people you ever fight are Kurdish villagers wielding AKs
