So why did they post a pic of an Iranian battleship on fire?
I’m not jesting, and quit calling me Shirley.
You never want to see a Neptune heading up Uranus.
As always, we puff up Russian weapons as some super threat. Moskva's air defense system has significant limitations against modern ASCM's and tactics.
“Send in the uss bill clinton!”
What would that be? ...a floating whore house?
