[Hide] (317.8KB, 680x476) Reverse I am conservative and I see too many reasons why letting them be might be a bad idea. I don't like the victim mindset of seeing eberryone as a potential enemy, crying when preemptively striking etc, but OP's statement involves stakes that are shrimply too high. Even if their intention were good, which we have no way of determining, the movement of the planet is too risk (for us AND them). I wood pulverize their planet
If we changed the situation to a planet teleporting into our solar system with not insurance that the other guys were frenly or not, I woodn't consider it the same way as the threat is less direct.
And let us not forget that the danger posed by another planet next to us doesn't only depend on their intentions. Bringing plants from another country is dangerous because they're not adapted to the local fauna and may, as it habbened many times in the past, become an invasive species. This also habbened with animals introduced in different ecosystems, mostly by the Brit explorer cunts. So imagine that on the level of a planet, imagine the diseases...

Also a planet moving at that speed wood have shed most of its armosphere on the way, meaning that once it locks into orbit around the sun, its frozen surface wood be scorched in a matter of days.
But I prefer to take OP's question as an ethical exercise.
It is a bit similar to the trolley problem, the point isn't to imagine technical solutions but to compare the 2 alternative moral stances, hereby shedding light on the mental processes that create our moral positions.
I like your reserve about a possible retaliation if we miss the shot. I wood argue that to outside observers, the perceived threat can be reasonably explained ESPECIALLY if enough investigation efforts go into determining the risk of collision before making the decision.
As you are swimming away from a sinking boat, if a panicked passenger tries to latch onto you wood you kick them or not ? I wood honestly go for the face
We're talking about life and death here, it's not like nuking North Korea because "they MIGHT one day attack us" it's a direct threat. It's like shooting at home invaders: you have no way of determining how dangerous they are, especially at night.
