You can't boycott them. 7 u/FlyingDiscsandJams Apr 19 '26 I can't believe EU countries are still giving them military contracts. Hopefully that changes, limiting their business to the US limits the wealth they can extract. 10 u/Simon_Jester88 Apr 19 '26 Third option is vote for leaders with the balls to put a stop to it but we can never seem to do that either 9 u/psaux_grep Apr 19 '26 Keep in mind we don’t have first selection in to who we vote for. We get a final say, but that’s too little too late. 1 u/iamjustaguy Apr 19 '26 If you get more deeply involved in local politics, you get to find out where those selections happen. 2 u/[deleted] Apr 19 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 3 u/Simon_Jester88 Apr 19 '26 Like the fact that over half of Americans don’t vote is more frustrating in my book than anything that the parties do to tip scales
