here's an analogy to show you how potent and luring that "false sense of security" is...
there is this insanely (and I mean...INSANELY) expensive drug called truvada. Ever heard of it? it is a drug, if taken daily before breakfast, will protect you from hiv infection throughout the day until the next day when you have to take it again...
yes, this is an actual drug. people from the lbgt community have flocked to this drug and spend their entire life savings on purchasing this drug and yet...this drug has a dangerously scary rate of failure. How do I know? My wife works in the medical field and deals with lbgt patients all the time who are infected and yet, most of them have this truvada drug in their body along with the hiv virus.
THE FRIGGIN' PILL DOES NOT WORK!!! just like the s400s. yes, sure, under certain conditions, with the right body temperature and the right diet provided you didn't have alcohol the night before and don't smoke weed 12 hours after taking it and don't have a cold or flu or are running a fever along with a billion other conditions, YEAH THE DRUG WILL WORK but for most, IT WILL NOT WORK AS WE SEE TODAY IN THE LBGT COMMUNITY!!! this pill sells that false sense of security JUST like the s400 does.
The only good hiv prevention is abstinence.
The only good defense is a brutal offense.
I rest my case!
DISCLAIMER: truvada isn't gonna help india's aids epidemic either so don't bother trying...
This whole bit.
Strawman Argument, two very-very-very different issues, doesn't really apply.
you do realize that the u.s. nato and isreal were the very reasons Russia deployed the s400s, right? you do realize that the s400s weren't gonna do crap against ISIS and free syrian army, right? or are you REALLY that inept? regardless, read my post above...may do ya some good!
Everyone knows why Russia is doing what it's doing.
But, S-400s are in too small a number to be actually effective, in its current numbers it is but a threat for what's to come.
What the current systems does in the small numbers that's present; it sets a precedent for the induction of more of the same.
And this gradual increase in arming gives your opponent to slow s#it down progressively.
Any, rapid changes in the status quo is usually disastrous and would lead to a war between world powers.
Just because a weapon system is in place doesn't mean you have to absolutely use it, if everyone thought like you, USSR and USA would have nuked each other already, wars have become more of a waiting game and reaction to every single provocation isn't necessary, like they often did back in olden days.
