i don't think that's very plausible -- because it would represent a massive escalation, would put whoever did it in serious legal jeopardy, and would severely hurt UK/EU relations -- and probably a bunch more reasons.

it's such a massive disaster that it could really only be done with tacit US approval, but probably a lot more than that.

given the EU's capitulation to US leadership/domination, whoever did it is probably safe.

still, i think of all the suffering that may be caused by the act...

the US has proven over decades that we'll do anything -- including the unthinkable -- to maintain our global dominance. now, Russia has just demonstrated their own willingness to go way too far -- with the invasion of Ukraine and all the crimes after. has yet another country taken a step towards Crazytown and proven that they too are willing to go way too far?
