@emptywheel honest question - drones or troops on the ground in harms way?

@grizzleeman C! None of the above. Not least bc drones undermine notions of law and sovereignty, which leads to failed states. -
@emptywheel agreed. But we don't fight them at all? -
@grizzleeman Who's the "we" there? -
@emptywheel what's the answer then? -
@grizzleeman In most, tho not all uses, drones are a cheap and easy way to avoid the hard work of building lasting solutions. -
@emptywheel the kind of shit that drives a progressive like myself crazy. There are no lasting solutions in Afghanistan. Never will be. -
@emptywheel you don't want drones. Don't want boots on the ground. Maybe we can train some Syrian Rebels. Worked out well. No good options - 2 more replies

@emptywheel Except for the fact that Cabbage Patch Kids don't fall out of the sky and have sharp metal edges.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/649031915182391296 … -
@BuffyBlogs Not even if you throw them very hard at brother? (I never had any bc I am THAT old--had to wait untiI was 26 to get BabyAlive) -
@emptywheel Well, my kid was barely old enough to see them go OUT. American Girl dolls could do more damage...(both physically and mentally) -
@BuffyBlogs And more people would get it. Plus, the symbolism of using historically dressed plastic girls as drone projectiles. I'm in.

@emptywheel Cabbage patch drones could make an awesome Xmas gift. -
@PaddyJ1325 You may steal that idea, but only sell it to people who were 10 in 1988, okay?
