I mean.....the whole reason to care about permission was so they could get further future support. They aren't getting that. If on Jan 21st they discover this whole other set of rockets they recieved from the USA in the past, and forgot about, why NOT use them??? Oh, they don't have USA's support. Ok, what's going to happen if they use them on Jan 21st? They'll endanger their non-existant support? Ok. FIRE!!!
UA needs US and/or EU satellite controls in order to carry out the long range strikes. If permission is revoked, they can't simply pick up their ball and go home to play.
WHAT'S THAT? I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF THESE KICKASS ROCKETS WE ARE SENDING INTO RUSSIA. ALSO, TELL JOE THANKS FOR THEM BECAUSE WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE THEM. NOW WE ARE MAKING OUR OWN. COOL YEAH?
