International Politics is not a game of morality because it's not a game that was ever supposed to be based on morality. Good and evil really have no context besides the values individuals place on actions that nations enact. A government is only a tool, the problems with government are because of the people that use the tool.

Here's what the landing looks like, so you can see why :)

The U-2 was designed as a high-altitude reconaissance aircraft, but over the course of its history was there any attempt to try and arm the U-2 for certain purposes due to its advantageous flight profile at the time? I've never seen anything of the sort, but I figured it might be worth an ask.

I know Lockheed Martin managed to convince the USAF to try the YF-12 configuration on the heels of the XF-108 cancellation, so I'm curious if anything like that was ever explored in the U-2s history.

If you can tell me of course ;)
