Someone better let the U.S. Coast Guard know, so it can prepare for the inevitable rescue.
Russia is still a third world country ... With the bomb. They obviously haven’t upgraded their intelligence.
Just another target for the boomers............
Russian ships with almost 1,000 sailors aboard ......................... They should keep the Venezuela secret police busy keeping the sailors away from any means of defecting.
They are probably more worried about Chavez’s subjects defecting. The Russians will want liquor and prostitutes.
James Monroe and Adlai Stevenson ... Call Your Offices.
Ping.
The Russians having nuclear subs and anti-sub aircraft stationed so close to Florida begs the question: does Senator Obama still believe in meeting Hugo Chavez without preconditions?
Obama is wearing Pelosi right now.
What Boomers?
My understanding is that we don’t have many left, mainly thanks to Clintoon and his kumbaya buddies......:)
Again the Russian Bear is intent on controlling oil!
Wake up, Freepers!
Russia is using Iran as a proxy, and wants to control energy. That is why Georgia is so important - they want control over the oil pipeline that bypasses Russia and the Middle East.
Sarah Palin is a gift from God to America. Energy independence is the Manhattan project of the century for the West.
The New Cold War may ironically be won by Alaska! - how appropriate!
And the War on Islamic Terroerists will be greatly aided by defunding the jihadists.
Sarah America is truly at the nexus of America's future.
The Il-38 "May" is a piece of crap. An attempt to copy the US Navy's P-3 Orion, it has a lousy record of unreliability and hopelessly poor electronics. F-22? We could take them out with T-45s.
“I wonder how they would like it if we sent humanitarian assistance using our navy to countries of the Caribbean that have suffered from the recent hurricanes,” Medvedev said.”
What’s stoppin ya?

But you're going to base some anti-submarine aircraft in Venezuela? These press releases from Medvedev and Putin read like Scrappleface satires.
The Il-38 is what they plan to station in Venezuela? Does Venezuela have adequate SAR capabilities to pull the aircrew out of the drink?
I’m sure Huge has bought some rubber rafts from China. lol
Click on pic for past Navair pings.
Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
