| R: "U didn`t launch an attack against the govt of S, but instead another player, which we`ll refer to as T." Even if we accept that claim, it is inescapable that U attacked INSIDE S to get at T. Where did U get that right from, Rog? R: "If S claims that an attack on T is an attack on them, they are effectly claiming that T and S are inseparable." Straw man argument: S is claiming nothing of the sort, but is insisting that U attacked a civilian building. R: "There is no comparison to the USSR and Syria as proxies, two different times, two unbelievably different countries." No, the comparison is perfectly valid: the USSR occupied Afghanistan, and the USA did indeed supply material aid to their Afghan opponents. It is valid to point out that if your claim has merit then the USSR would have been entitled to attack those Afghans whereever they might have been - including when they were over the border and in US-run training camps. Is that right, Rog? |
