If this is true and we found the place where it was being produced, could we be justified in destroying the facility by missile strike in order to save the world?
- jessaustin 8y agoHow about just having police visit? They're more likely to apprehend the owners of the facility (you know, the actual culprits) and to preserve evidence of exactly what has occurred. Also in many nations they are less likely than a "missile strike" to kill everyone present.
- matte_black 8y agoSure, but what if the corruption goes very high up, and the police do nothing? Or it’s an uncooperative rogue state? Do we just let the ozone burn?
- jessaustin 8y agoSometimes it's quite difficult to remind oneself that those with inexplicably martial attitudes are more likely to be deluded victims of the war media than actual employees of the military-industrial complex.
- _bxg1 8y agoThat would be a horrible idea (hopefully Trump wouldn't think it was a good idea). The accord relies on international cooperation. If we flew a missile into, say, China - setting aside all the other international implications of that - they could easily say "well screw you" and spin up 100 more factories. Plus, it's probably some private black-market dealer, not a bad state actor.
