    Should we buy the F-35?

    Just put modern weapons and stuff in older Aircraft and then you dont have to keep making more crap like the f-35 that costs more than a city

    That wouldn't work forever though, advances in Technology and Aerodynamic construction would eventually cause a older plane's airframe to be really outdated, and there isnt much you can do about that.

    It's a culturocide, exactly. But look at it this way. Is it better to turn your back to suffering, or to destroy a culture?

    The only solution after you help them, is to stay with them to minimize the damage. If you leave them, they will actually forgot about you in a few generations. Myths will be born and you'll become a deity. Chances are that, as human history shows, newborn religion will be used to plant even more death than before.

    So you must stay with them and they must be nurtured to the level you're at. Culturocide is inevitable.

    Another Idea would to do a Doctor Who approach and silently affecting the planet from orbit or with invisibility or something.

    Depends how extreme you want to make it.

    In my opinion we should intervene when there is a chance of large scale death and destruction by natural means. When the alien Vesuvius is about to explode and bury Pompey, save em. When their equivalent of the black plague comes around hand out cures etc.

    When the situation is caused by themselves and it does not threaten the planet with widespread extinction I would advice against taking sudden actions. It is unlikely that their moral values are the same as ours, and what might seem a honorable cause in our eyes might be an atrocity in theirs. Best not to intervene until you know EXACTLY what's going on and understand their moral system to make an educated decision on who to back up.

    In the case that the war does threaten the entire planet, such as nuclear war, I suggest backing down and stopping both sides dead in their tracks. You can work out all the ethics later but saving the planet comes first.

    But then if their Civilization is undeveloped enough, Humans would be looked upon like Gods and could completely Change their culture and could believe they're Gods themselves.
