I was not trying to say that they were wasteful. Just expensive.
By most accounts these weapons are very effective at destroying tanks that probably cost ten times as much.
As for evolution, the people who die in wars are seldom the ones who start them. Moreover, evolution as it applies to every other species on the planet ceased for us around about the time that we invented medicine. I've been re-reading the Draka series lately, so naturally this terrifies me.

Evolution stopped, did it?
That’s nice dear
My own theory is if there is a gene for warlike behaviour it’s probably a successful one, and I suspect if we did outcompete the Neanderthals to extinction it was because of our paranoid terratorialism and aggression rather than any edge in intelligence that Homo sapiens possessed. We just can’t stand anybody different living nearby

It's greed. At the root, everything is motivated by greed.
We're just significantly better at being greedy than any other species.
We could absolutely wipe out poverty and hunger if we were all just a wee bit better at sharing, and generally a wee bit more open to living slightly less comfortably than many of us do currently. But it'll never, ever happen. Because we're too greedy.
We're not inherently bloodthirsty, we're inherently stuffthirsty. So stuffthirsty, that we're willing to spill blood in order to achieve our goals.

Unfortunately, both Liberals and Conservatives are predominantly motivated by greed.
There are certainly those of us who measure our level of success based upon our emotional/social wellbeing rather than our bank balance. But the vast majority of us measure our success on how much money we're taking home at the end of every month, and/or how unnecessarily large and upmarket our homes and cars are.
We're an overwhelmingly materialistic species, regardless of preferred political ideology. It's why Communism and Socialism is never, ever successful long-term. Regardless of good intentions, there's always going to be one bloke wanting more than the next bloke in order to feel superior. Doesn't matter who they vote for.

I get them confused, are you psychotic or neurotic when you believe everyone thinks the same way you do?

No, you're just pixels of impotent rage and I've seen far worse.
It's psychotic, by the way. Neurotic people are aware of their own problems.

I think you might be reading emotions into a reply
That simply aren't there.

Do you fancy me or something?
If our answers are largely similar, does it make us a good match?

Bless your heart.
Odd that your mind went to sex when asked if you're a psycho. I guess the Hare checklist does mention promiscuity though.
FWIW I think you're most likely suffering from a form of alcoholic dementia and online RWA radicalisation.

Are you genuinely attempting to make a medical diagnosis
of a serious mental condition in a b3ta comments thread,
by working step by step through a list of diagnostic criteria?
I don't think that's going to work particularly well, as a professional opinion,
as an online argument winner, or as a particularly good jape.

lol there are no winners in online arguments, silly.
I just find pleasure in manipulating people that's all, and I don't see that as a fault, and I refuse to apologise for it.
Also that's a lie. :)

Given the levels of poverty in the world,
using that much cash to kill a few people seems absurd to me.
