    “Accidentally”

    Keep in mind the US loves propaganda as much as the next regime. Doing an oopsy woopsy to show you got strong weapons is almost completely in your favor.

          Currently I’d consider them closer to 14 year olds arguing over pro wrestling, or 20 year olds fresh out of bootcamp arguing over uncleared military hardware replicated in a video game.
