I can't fathom why citizens of the USA don't understand that actions like this can be considered, by other nations, to be an act of war. Yet the US' people just let their government get away with it, like its no big thing .. and then cry about 'blowback' when it - inevitably - happens.

In most if not all cases it seems to be pointless hair-splitting, but interesting nonetheless.

- angrybits 11y agoNot trying to be snarky, but why on Earth would I mind that my government is trying to prevent a rival government from gaining nuclear capability? World politics are what they are, and they are unavoidable, so my preference is that we do anything necessary to stay in a position of leadership. Would you prefer different if you were us? edit: clarified last question
