Germany and to a lesser extent Italy were supplying a significant portion as well and it’s likely others would step up if they pulled out. Probably with worse prices and worse hardware, but we’re not at risk globally of running out of places to buy weapons. It’s horrible what is happening to Palestinian civilians in gaza, but in the end, the US armament supplies aren’t strictly required to enable Israel.
Kansai region specifically, that is a bit more useful info, but that’s not new either.
Yeah, legitimately could choose just about anything else besides polio and it would have landed pretty well.
You joke, but that’s actually a really interesting story. Jonas Salk, the developer of the first polio vaccine was adamantly against even patenting it and claimed that it ‘belonged to the people’. There is some potential controversy there, but we mostly just think he was a pretty great dude. Dude’s a fucking hero regardless.
I get the analogy you’re trying to make, but maybe want to switch to something else.
Roger Garth claims it’s based on a picture of them from around '05. No original photo found and could just be trying to cash in on the trend, but they knew about where the photo was from and offered details we didn’t have before (Obviously, could have been made up).
Filippa hamilton has also claimed it was her, but with no supporting details.
I think Roger is a way better match.
