I... just explained that. I am confident that the commenters talking about these things are not qualified based on the things they're saying. I wasn't making any allusions to being an expert on military matters. I'm saying these people are obviously not qualified, and I explained what makes me think that.
This seems like a very philosophical discussion. I'm not sure what you want here. Do you want me to explain reading the news? You take in new information, and if it disagrees with your prior knowledge, then you make a judgement call on what the truth probably is. We don't understand global politics from first principles.
