No, I get it, I think. It's seen as sacrosanct and too important to everyone for individual governments to fúck about with for short-term poltical reasons. Is that it?
That's some seriously naive African defending there, Burney. You could produce a video of Vladimir Putin pressing the button and Ash wouldn't believe it because of some excuse about the time the video was uploaded to a server or some such.
Unless of course you're trying to draw him out :sherlock:
I don't get the Iranians trying to deny it happened. Surely the approach of 'a tragic accident has happened as a result of turning on our air defence systems against the great Satan. After our proportional response to Trump's assassination of our military general we attempted to defend ourselves from further aggression and etc etc etc' is miles better than the utterly implausible denial approach they are taking now?
Seems to me they have an awfully easy way out of this one, not sure why they don't take it.
I don't agree with extra-judicial killing. It's what makes us better than terrorists (and Septics.)
But it is a bit cråp to threaten revenge on the great satan and then blow up a passenger jet full of your own people over your own territory.
It's almost like the Divine doesn't agree with their büm**** theology. You don't find Gandhi or Ashoka the Great shooting down passenger jets.
Only godless heathens like Iranians, Ruskies and Septics do that.
Do you remember in Gulf War 1 when the Iraqis fired some missiles at two US and one RN ship? One Septic ship fired chaff and the second one's protection system locked onto the chaff, thought it was an enemy and started shooting up the first Septic ship.
Meanwhile, the missile passed between the two of them and was shot down by a British sea-dart, being the first example of a missile taking out a missile in pwoppa warfare.
