This job would be easier without all the airplanes
I think there's more, a lot more to flying combat fighters than managing a computer...

Ah, no. They flew the planes, made the kills, have their own training, etc, etc.

So? We train lots of pilots, over 40 nations but the Israeli pilots do all their own flight training. They may come here for more advanced training, NSAWC, Red Flag, etc but but they still fly their aircraft in combat.

I haven't said one word in support of Hamas.

Still an airplane, operated by psuedo pilots but a lot more dangerous to other aircraft. I fly in and around them daily in Afghanistan..watched them make a few Hadji kills.
Yea but...

I was praying someone would throw a fracking pie in here... and you delivered, sir!
Well what were doing now sure isn't. I keep hearing that argument. This isn't the 30's.

Well, it's a consideration to be wary of.

I think part of your disconnect with @Boris Badenov might revolve around alternative understandings of the concept of help. Or perhaps unquestioned assumptions about nations' desires to be helpful.

Only if we're talking about a dictator who has openly discussed wiping out a race of people and taking over Europe. And we aren't faced with anything like that.
Sorry, but the Nazi Germany analogies are ridiculous and have no applicability to modern foreign policy.

Oh... I thought we were talking about Ukraine again. This is more of the Israel thing isn't it?
I'm not disconnecting with anything. Our current foreign policy(since I've been alive) has cost us trillions, we are in serious debt, and nothing has gotten any better.
That's my point.
There's a disturbing number of people in the thread that don't realize just how close this event hits to home.
Forces shot down a civilian aircraft on a super-busy air route that a number of us regularly operate.

It can be either. Neither is any of our business. Get out of their countries, go around their air space, stay out of their politics. Befriend none of them, make enemies of none of them.
