"These tasks can only be performed by professionals who have worked with these systems for a long time and know how to operate them."

Oh dear, this is awful: I hate submitting to this primordial delight in the loss of potentially good, human life; but, under the circumstances, it's difficult not to be at least relieved, if not deeply satisfied, that so many were killed in the airstrike on the Poltava academy a couple weeks ago. Terrible though any loss of life is, I find great comfort in the fact that so many (hundreds) of them were NATO trainers and their aspiring servants.

"...hit targets inside of NATO..."

How about an aircraft carrier at sea? One could probably be sunk without even nuking it, and the Americans always have such a chest-thumping wank when they roll one out to frighten the world into submission, and the British have just spent far, far more than they could ever hope to afford on floating a new one... Couldn't just one be sunk, a long way from anywhere where anyone other than militant psycho-fruitcake sailor boys would be hurt?

"...much more realistic options..."

Yeah, but... The Americans have such fun killing and hating, even by proxy; it seems only fair everyone should get some.

I guess that's the problem with being an adult: you have to sacrifice all the fun to grow up.

I guess it's a cultural thing: what makes something fun?

"...it just gives Kiev the chance to kill more Russians."

If Russia won't submit, that's all they want. How come they get to have all the fun?

"...much more is going on behind the scenes than meets the eye."

I understand that, but I'd still like to see an aircraft carrier sunk.

Oh, OK, maybe not; if you're that sure it shouldn't be necessary, I concur.
