arrogant, know-nothing loud-mouthed putz?

Ad hominem attacks, verbal abuse, and obscenities - the last refuge of those whose ability to reason calmly and cogently has long since run out.

I guess that we should all just bend over and let Putin have his way with us.

According to Jane’s, each Tu 22 bomber is worth $100-300m per copy. At 40 aircraft, thats a lot of potatoes. I’ll let you do the math. The biggest shoe to drop is these are not replaceable. They quit making the bears and backfire bombers in the 50s.

Not all were Tu 22 bombers. There were a number of propeller bear bombers.

Ukraine has clearly show that all military and industrial targets like refineries, are legitimate targets and cannot be protected against this type of attack. I hope Hegseth is paying attention. Islamic cells here in the U.S. could take out our refineries in a heartbeat and there is nothing that can be done about it short of being proactive and kick out all Islamic people.

Trump can do this by declaring martial law. By doing so, individual rights are suspended and the courts have no say. He can also use Section 8, SS 1324 to arrest all Islamic supporters nationwide including democrats at all levels of government and academia. In 30 days, he could change the electorate for the next 50 years.

They also blew up two bridges and wrecked a train with many civilian deaths. The airfields attacks might be cause for a nuke strike.If Russia used low yield nukes on Kiev—should the USA launch all we have on Russia. Then wait for the Russian subs to counter strike>?
