I don't know...some Iranian trying to explain why they have an airplane engine in their carry-on luggage would be rather funny

You actually create a communist revolution by having a leftist demagogue convince a group of bored trust fund babies that they're lives would be paradise if they only fundamentally change the government. The same demagogue goes to elite keyholders in the old government and promises power un the new government if they change sides. The revolution happens. Scores are settled, and many of those same trust fund babies are put against the wall, because the demagogue wants absolute political power, not a utopia for his supporters. The country is weakened, while political and civil rights are curtailed for the greater good

Isn't the coke Navy essentially the United States Coast Guard?

This is extremely foolish. If western universities and companies shun Isreali scientist, then it won't take long for countries with antagonistic attitudes towards the west to embrace them, like Russia or China

Or worse yet, British fishing trawlers

I think it's simpler than that. The Russian Navy has sustained losses to a nation with no real Navy. This is Russia's way of saying they still have ocean going warships

No, not a whimper, but a meme
