how many times have i said i DONT think they will make it have a accident?
just dont say it is impossible is all i am saying.

i think i gave pretty good reasons why the US would feel justified in diverting a plane in international airspace to the US by using a threat. i do respect you but you cant just say "no they wont", thats not a discussion, and where is your basis for saying they wont?

how am i being silly, you are making statements of fact, without anything to back it up and i am being silly when i give concrete examples?
