America is itching to take their new equipment for a spin. It would be very dumb to give then a reason.
When America doesn’t have a reason, it simply makes one up.
They can and will invent their own reasons just fine tyvm.
Do we get to see the TR-3A Black Manta yet? /s
What a joke. They don’t need to go all the way to North America when the US is already Israel in the Middle East
It's pretty easy guys: don't support a genocide, don't get attacked.
It would've worked in Iraq and Afghanistan too...
Do you really think the US has any real concern about being attacked? There is plenty to say about US policies, both good and bad. Part of that is the nearly $1T per year spent on the military. I don't think you'll find many credible people who think attacking the US will be good for whoever does it.
Attacking the US has been, historically, one thing that tends to unite the country. We - Americans - like building shit and we like fighting people. We never stop building new weapons. But when there is no-one to fight, we fight each other. There is a huge social divide in the US right now. You want to fix that, attack us.

Noncredible people agree.

Well I still have to take off my shoes at the airport so I'd say yes. This country hasn't stopped being afraid of being attacked in 22 years.
TSA is a jobs program. It will never go away at this point.
It 100% is, but that doesn't change the fact that Americans are still conditioned to be constantly afraid of terrorism.
Fear and caution are not the same thing.
