The cool thing about transport planes is that they aren't just useful in war. It's a big flying box. Sure it could be sending weapons or troops, but it could just as easily be sending doctors or diplomats or vehicles for a security team. Or nothing, but will be used to take stuff out of the region.
You already payed for the A400M, and it's perfectly suited for sketchy neighborhoods like this since it can carry countermeasures. Why not use it?

At least it did a loop-de-loop

If I hear one more peep I am turning this plane around!

How much money is being wasted fighting for a genocide that could be spent at home making life better?

Billions. Meanwhile China is sitting back and enjoying the collapse of the West over Israel

The UK?? They would never support colonizers!

Colonising too nice a word for what they are doing

It is the historically consistent word, though. Colonial empires were always this cruel, everywhere.

As an American, I'm learning way too much geography. So Monte Video sends Tel Aviv a pay per view show, but is there like an HDMI cable for that?

That would sure change the future.
I do think that it is +psychic damage to anyone that knows what's going on over there.
They're probably assisting the US or Israel.

It's a massive military transport plane. This would be like sending a Boeing 737 instead of a private jet. Makes zero sense.

Or evacuate citizens like in Afghanistan

Could also send humanitarian aid or medical supplies.

Exactly. A military cargo plane landing somewhere doesn't mean the same as a squadron of fighters.
