“If you haven’t had a job for six months? Conscription. Looked at me funny in the street? Conscription. Speaking with your mouth full? Conscription. Wearing an outfit I think is too revealing? Conscription. Farting? Conscription.”

Gun Baron
Some people: “Tony Stark is a gun baron, whose income caused the death of many innocent people”
Wars: *exist*
Armies: *have to exist to protect one large group of people from another group of people*
Weapons: *needed, unfortunately*
Weapon manufacturers: *have to exist, do their job, have to support themselves and their companies – take money for the work*
Soldiers: *serve in the Armed Forces, fight in wars, take money for their service too*
Tony Stark: *develops reliable precision smart weapons to reduce casualties, sells them to his army to protect the people of his country and allies*
Government: *infiltrated by HYDRA agents, attacks civilians in other countries so that the local cell will later blame the US and Tony Stark*
Some people: *buy Hydra's lies and blame the US and Tony Stark*
Tony Stark: *has no idea HYDRA still exists*
Obadiah Stane: *sells Stark Industries weapons to terrorists under the table, orders them to kill Tony because Tony has business ethics*
Tony Stark: *survives, finds out about everything, stops producing weapons for everyone except himself due to loss of trust *
People: *get rid of SI shares and predict bankruptcy of the company *
Justin Hammer, a weapon manufacturer with no business ethics: *rubs his hands*
Soldier with jammed Hammer Industries rifle under terrorist fire: "Well, thank you very much"

Lyubov, who worked as an accountant, lived under Russian occupation for nearly a year and “in January of this year, they came for me,” she said.
Speaking via a translator, she said that Russian soldiers forced their way into her house, claiming they were looking for weapons, and confiscated “a map of Ukraine, the flag of Ukraine, souvenir magnets with Ukraine images, and a token with blue and yellow ribbon symbolizing victims of World War II.”
“Those were their evidence against me,” she said.
She was taken to what she called a “torture chamber” and held for five days, where she said she was beaten, forced to undress, cut with a knife and threatened with rape and murder(..)
P.S. The so-called "pacifists" and all other Russophiles who hinder the strengthening of Ukraine's self-defense capabilities are actually complicit in Russian war crimes...
