    Whether aliens are visiting us matters just about as much as whether tanks are rolling into the village of uncontacted tribes.

    Our tactical disadvantage against alien technology is zero, so they have zero priority as targets.

            Also, lemmy doesn’t seem to support strikethrough, so even if people trust me not to be sneaky, I can’t easily show what words were struck and added
