Russian Bombers and the SALT Treaty
X ^ | June 1, 2025 | General Michael Flynn

ATTENTION!

So, it appears Zelenskyy gave the go ahead to attack parked Russian nuclear capable bombers without informing @realDonaldTrump (if true that our President was not consulted nor informed, this isn’t simply a breach of protocol. It’s a geopolitical insult and a warning sign. If Ukraine is willing to conduct strikes with strategic consequences without notifying the White House, we are no longer allies with coordination issues—we are co-belligerents flying blind).

Also given Senator “warmonger” Lindsey Graham’s and Senator “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal’s recent visit, this attack could appear as though it was sanctioned. I pray the Russians have better intelligence than that. IMHO, these two don’t have the sense or common sense to pull something like this off (there will have to be denials though).

FYI, Those bombers that were hit HAVE to be out in full view due to nuclear treaty obligations. Zelenskyy took advantage of that. For instance, they appear to have hidden the drones in containers and were driven on trucks near the airbase. Smart use of deception (see photos below).

However, imagine any one of our big bomber bases having the exact same thing done to them. Very costly U.S. Strategic Bombers can be taken out in the same way by anyone with access to inexpensive drones, delivery trucks, explosives, and a bit of technical knowledge (not good and new tactics will now have to be developed).

People, and especially world leaders, need to realize the global implications to such an operation as Ukraine just pulled off.

Russia will respond. Action, reaction, counteraction. Those are the shifting tides of warfare.

This wasn’t a bold action, it was brash. Ukraine’s short-term win could be the world’s long-term loss…

Your globalist presence here insults and degrades the forum. Meanwhile , your France is being eaten alive by Muslims.

SALT not START. You are way out of your league on this one.

New START Treaty

The submarines are not vulnerable to drones.

He’s actually correct. It should say “New START” treaty. My mistake

And that formerly obscure bit of knowledge is now in the minds of every malcontent on the globe.

Yes, Muslim and Chicom allied Vladinvader Putin should always provide notice before he sends swarms of drones etc. from nuke strike bombers.

Given the levels of paranoia that must be rising, Putin probably suspects even worse acts of sabotage are possible. I foresee a few defenestrations amongst the FSB ranks this month.

“Also seems a lot of people get upset whenever anything bad happens to Russia.”

Russia just went on high alert and is activating its nuclear arsenal — says it is not a drill. That should make you happy. Just think, the Russians may vaporize your stupid ass before you thought they would. Unfortunately, lots of innocent people will be vaporized also.

This attack by the Ukraine was a real wake up call for the United States at many levels.

It is far more than a Russian Peal Harbor, it's a military landmark event that is akin to Billy Mitchell sinking the ex-German light cruiser Frankfurt and battleship Ostfriesland in July 1921.

At the very least, we owe the Ukrainians a huge debt of thanks because they have highlighted the dangers of the Chinese purchase of huge swaths of land near critical US military installations and the infiltration of thousands, and perhaps tens of thousands, of Chinese special forces sleeper agents across the US Southern border under Joe Biden's illegal alien invasion.

This is not to mention the thousands of people confirmed on Terrorist watch lists that Biden knowingly released into the United States

But I do not believe that the SALT treaty is even active, and hasn’t been for many years now. Furthermore, it was between the U.S., that never signed it, and the Soviet Union that no longer exists. So, is this claim even relevant let alone valid?

The various people here and elsewhere who are jeering this and cheering that seem to be of the opinion that escalating this to the point of nukes flying will somehow spare them.

IMO which batch of people own some village 7 time zones away is far less important than making sure the people in the US aren’t radioactive dust.

This activity isn’t new. Russia is massing strategic bombers, brigades worth of jets, tanks, and more than 250,000 troops (including the Chinese “Tiger” brigade, and troops from Belarus) in Kaliningrad and Belarus. Flights or exercise flights of Russian bigwigs to protected locations has been going on for days.

German intelligence, per Bild and other sources, have been warning that an attack on the Suwalki gap is possible this year. This preparation has been going on at least a year, though a lot of it in the past 6 months.

How would you, as Ukraine, defend yourself, from these same aircraft routinely bombing your cities? The Russkies barely even pretend anymore to deny they target civilians. In the past they’d engage in complicated propaganda just deny it or claim a platoon of soldiers was hiding in the. Now they just do it and brazenly with mass bombardment and lie like, “who are you going to believe, us or your lying eyes?”
