On a lighter note, pull their WC bid and give it to the US.
They're good at condemning Israel.
How are they good shots with their missiles if they "mistakenly" shot down a completely wrong plane? I would consider being a good shot as also being good at identifying what you're shooting at.
World wars during the previous thirty years: two.
Might be a coincidence, and there have certainly been bigger factors deterring escalation since 1945; but it's a data point.

Good shot, bad intel.

There were no world wars in nearly a century prior to the start of WWI either. Maybe they were the anomaly.
