Stratocaster,
You clearly have some very strong opinions about Silverback. While we are, as you put it “joking around”, let’s guess - you flew for them and they perhaps didn’t pay your last salary, or you yourself flew for their opposition or for rebels in the affected areas and merely dislike them as a result.
Your supposition about how they acquired their aircraft are equally humorous for if what you profess that they were provided by “Western Intelligence Agencies”, the process and fact would have been handled in a very professional and sensitive manner, and more likely, the details of which would certainly not have reached your ears and be flying around in the irresponsible fashion that you present.
However, your assertion of how they may have been come by once again raises the same concern about the duplicity, hypocrisy and self-righteousness of those who now at this very late stage of the hour want to stand in judgement of others. Would it then not be reasonable to assume that those same agencies were in the process approving of their activities, or by their actions otherwise were again meddling in the affairs of others. If you read in the earlier, this is exactly the kind of White Lies and White-Mischief that I alluded to in an earlier post, that ends up in regrettable situations and Blacklists.
