The Irish Sea is roughly between Liverpool and Dublin. It’s shocking that Russia would have a naval “exercise” in the UK’s backyard. It’s purely a show of force intimidation tactic since NATO countries are sending military assets into Russia’s backyard. Biden seems hell-bent on starting a war to take the pressure off his sinking administration.

"Dr" Jill tells Joe that a war will revive his poll numbers - which is almost as exciting for him as an extra pudding cup

World War IV will provide a nice distraction from the manufactured crises...

Bread 🍞?

Depends upon when the next panic-buying happens

Bread shelves at my local Walmart cleaned out for weeks on end starting March 2020

Never saw anything like it - every single bagged bread gone. One dented loaf one day was all that remained.

When will we see the Russian navy in the Gulf of Mexico? I predict Braindead will do nothing to confront Russia or China cause he and his handlers are blowhards.

Biden should have lined up European/NATO allies like Germany before he went off half cocked.

What’s the hurry? Are Hunter and the other whore monger/drug addicted sons of DC ‘elites’ in need of more cash shakedowns?

International waters...

I expect Putin will do some roaming around the Bering Strait so Palin can see the ships from her window.

Aren’t there lots of undersea cables in that area that would be critical if a war was started?

The Irish and the Brits will have to stop hating each other. Just remember-Ireland supported Hitler over the Limies.

The Russians sending in the only 3 warships that have enough coal left to fire their boilers and that haven’t caught fire in the last few years.

A clear external threat will usually unite a country behind the leader, no matter how incompetent, crooked, or unpopular he may be.
So I wouldn’t put it past Biden to push the world to a repeat of WWI. And anyway it’d be a lot shorter. :(
Not that Putin has clean hands here. He thinks he’ll never have a better opportunity; in nine months the American Congress might have a very different attitude.
And after all, Biden effectively gave him Germany already.

“Remember the game RISK...”

I spent hours and hours playing that game (but that was fifty years ago). Lots of fun!

Ireland was neutral, but never missed an opportunity to diss the Brits.
