So our missiles and bombers arrive a little later,. Still enough to pound Russian ruble a few times over.

The object is NOT for anyone to begin shooting off their arsenal.

Agreed, that is the main object of the game if you will, not to play. I always kind of find the talk of hypersonic missiles to be moot more or less, otherwise we'd be using the Navaho today. That idea goes back to 1945 and resulted in the transonic Matador, Mace and the Snark and the Mach 3 Navaho until in the late 1950s that would later perhaps creep up the target of Mach 5, the Atlas ICBM and later Titan 1A's and 2's and Minuteman ICBM's made them obsolete. I really don't see them as the game changer, I think Putin is just blowing hot air. The point is basically, it doesn't make a difference if you get shot by an AK-47, AR-15, Garand or a Henry Rifle, you are just as dead or injured. The Navaho did live on for a bit with the Hound Dog air launched cruise missile that was able to attain Mach 2+. Then again maybe I could be wrong, then we could always bring back the 1950's era Navaho. B-)

MY sympathy is with the Ukraine, Russia is the wrong party here and yeah, we can give them support but this is not the hill for us to die on either. WWE do need to stand up to Putin but still we should not be poking sticks at the Bear to make him more angry either.
