[StoneWall Brigade]

I’m getting really sick of this we must stand up to this kind of Saber-rattling.

[Steely Tom]

"... and in accordance with international norms"

Does that phrase mean that their bomb bay doors were open for inspection?

[JohnBrowdie]

I thought guam capsized.

[Samogon]

Question: how many circus bears it takes to pedal those pieces of antiquity across the ocean? I hope they feed them well.

[McGruff]

I forgot to add the link to the article.

More deatils there.

[AppyPappy]

Wow, they were flying in international air space. How scary.

[marron]

The Russians aren’t the ones to worry about. I expect the Chinese believe Guam should be their eastern border.

[Cowboy Bob]

If I were the Russians, I’d do my best to tip the island over.

[WayneS]

If they really are threatening Guam then shoot them down.

Guam is U.S. territory.

[al baby]

No that would be Nevada

[tcrlaf]

It’s a message.
The real question should be, is the intended recipient listening?

[WayneS]

The aircraft were flying safely in international airspace and in accordance with international norms...

Which is it? Were the bombers "threatening Guam" or were they "flying safely in international airspace and in accordance with international norms", because it can't be both.

[WayneS]

Do you feel the same way about our B52s?

[tet68]

I thought guam capsized.

No, but now it’s been circumsized.

[Popman]

Putin must have a dartboard in his office with sections denoting “how to make Obama look like a pussy” on his wall...

Throws a dart every morning...

[JohnBrowdie]

People say LOL all the time, but I literally laughed out loud when I read that.

[LouAvul]

Liberal cowards in the white house invite aggression.

[kidd]

Obama projects weakness.
He has disabled large parts of the military.
He gives up dangerous terrorist leaders for a deserter.
He bows in front of muslim leaders.
He reacts to ISIS by performing meaningless bombing runs
The Chinese made him look like a fool earlier this month

This only invites other countries to test the waters. Everyone assumes that they won't attack us. Why?

If I were Putin, I would see Guam as a valuable outpost. I would also judge that the chance of any meaningful retaliation from Obama to be near zero.

[McGruff]

It's Emporer Obama to you.
