Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Based on the headline, it doesn't make any sense
Edit: ok, this dude is a nazi, but how is a drone with explosives a WMD?
Reading the words "weapon of mass destruction" in 2025 in reference to a single drone with some explosives caused some psychic damage
Edit:
Good edit
i was kind of curious so i read through the definitions for WMD and it seems like the basic answer here is that for most of the term's history, it's exclusively meant nuclear/chemical/biological warfare weapons. and then like 30-40 years ago they just decided to include missiles and pipe bombs and such with certain amounts of explosive and successfully prosecuted people for those kinds of improvised explosives as WMDs. very normal country.
Incredible
If it's useful for empire to call it a WMD, then it's a WMD. Likewise with terrorism, etc.
The feds can classify anything as a wmd under circumstances.
Credit card?
Yeah the nazi probably just stole his parents' credit cards after killing them
Oh I was thinking he could just get his own or steal their credit card without the murder part. Agent 47 ahh nazi
Yeah these freaks don't know how anything works in the first place, not surprising they can't think more than 2 steps ahead
