It’s not a “strawman.” I understand that most people on here don’t want the weapons going to Israel, which is why I made the point. But the reality is that, once a weapon is built, it’s in the hands of politicians to give to whoever they like. If those politicians are pro-Israel, then even if you want the weapons for the purpose of defense, there’s a significant likelihood they’ll be used to perform genocide.
It absolutely is a strawman, no one mentioned Israel in the discussion before you, it is also not a reason to stop increasing defense spending right now that we need to defend against Russia.

The fact that nobody mentioned Israel is the point. I stg. It isn’t a “strawman” to point out possible unintended consequences of supporting a policy.
“I think I should jump off a tall building.”
“Are you crazy? You’ll die!”
“Wow, what a strawman. Nobody even said anything about dying. I don’t support falling to my death, only the jumping.”
Congratulations, that is one of the stupidest arguments I have read.
Go learn what the word “strawman” means before you call anybody’s arguments stupid lmao.
Eh, my fault for expecting a decent argument with a .ml user.
Stop strawmanning me then.
