Just wait until you learn that flying straight towards an opponent's border to trigger defensive systems, then turning away in the last literal second, is Standard Operating Procedure of US aircraft around North Korea, China, and Russia.
On a radar screen, that is indistinguishable from a first-strike scenario until the very moment it isn't.
So please... think twice before repeating this "Bullies need to get slapped once" nonsense. Because if someone in Pyongyang, Beijing, or Moscow ever agrees with that logic for even a heartbeat, we're not talking about one downed plane - we're talking about World War III.
This isn't a schoolyard where you teach someone a moral lesson. It's a nuclear standoff where one hot-headed mistake can erase every living thing on Earth.
Deterrence requires discipline, not chest-beating bravado.
