“Which means we probably killed a batch of Russian “advisors”.
We have learned nothing from the very recent past”
And you know first hand that we didn’t tip the Russians to avoid this as much as possible? Oh yes, worst case the Russians have very good Sats which lit up with all those Tomahawk launches. They had 30 minutes to get their guys off bases or underground. Assuming they wanted to.
Shoot, we used to notify the Russians before any nuke-loaded bomber was moved for any reason. So like you’re suggesting, I’m guessing they were tipped off, too, to try and prevent potential immediate misunderstandings.
