    Dummy use dead kids to make a dumb irrelevant point, they’re not punctuation marks for bad ideas. Similarly it’s not at like that.

    It’s not. That’s your belief it just doesn’t really stand the test of basic reality.

    Yes, that’s generally where missile defense systems exist and you’ll notice is almost certainly going to protect our top secret listening post. You know that thing that if it’s destroyed weakens intelligence gathering from most of the middle east and huge swaths of Asia.

    There’s are lots of reasons to be upset at the us, tons in fact. Defense systems aren’t really one of those. They just let us get boots on the ground and if the American playbook holds true a good third of those people will be intelligence assets. Similarly thaad can intercept outgoing missiles as well so there’s also the threat that the US can now directly stop an Israeli missile strike if they do not want it to happen.

    This isn’t the first time thaad has gone to Israel and they always end up protecting the expensive goofball not Israeli assets.
