yeah i thought it was common knowledge. there a have been hundreds of missile launch events at or through other countries' territory. wikipedia has not one but several, extensively sourced lists with maps. didn't really expect pushbacks on such a well-documented thing. i'll be going now.

So you think that those missiles were actually intended to hit targets but failed. That's interesting, what exactly do you base that belief on?

Yeah a lot of state department propaganda is common "knowledge". Just because a bunch of westerners believe something does not mean it has any merit.

Wikipedia itself should never be trusted just because it has "sources" literally anyone can contribute to wikipedia and it has been well known for decades it has a massive bias against the west's designated adversaries. Would you care to share some of the sources cited by wikipedia?
