Russia buzzing our border. Seems I just saw one a few days ago.

They are standoff cruise missile trucks with surprisingly good ECM.

“isn’t that how this whole conflict started?”
____________
No, it absolutely is not how it started and I know you have already been educated on how it started. You prefer to lie to yourself and others, to make yourself feel good about what you do, that what’s going on here.

Better countermeasures now. And the idea is that air defense systems will have already been neutralized before the BUFFs come in. Stand-off weapons too.

B 52’s are nice, fat, relatively slow targets for the Russians to shoot down if they want to.B-52s have massive standoff capacity, firing up to 20 cruise missiles from 1000+ miles away from enemy lines.

Except getting whupped trying to invade Ukraine isn’t an existential military defeat.

I remember reading that part of the Cuban missile crisis agreement was that we promised never to attack Cuba.

There were two British fighters flying over the Black Sea this morning (our time) on Flightradar24. I’ve seen many NATO surveillance and refueling aircraft flying in that area, but I’ve never seen fighters, and I’m very surprised they were transmitting their ID.

The AGM-86B measures 6.32 m in length, 0.693 m in body diameter, 3.65 m in wingspan, and 1,458 kg in launch weight. It traditionally carries a 200 kT W80-1 nuclear warhead for a distance of approximately 2,500 km (1553 miles)

Question: Is it your desire to see Russia (and, for that matter, China) unchallenged?
Is your animosity towards NATO because the US is part of it?
Would you be okay with a NATO sans the US?

NATO described the exercise as “a routine, recurring training activity” that is “not linked to any current world events.”Ya, because war games take place in a vacuum. Like the one in Joetato's skull.

It sure is, the TU-95 Bears propeller noise will make one go Deaf. Good ol’ counter-rotateing supersonic propellers.

My stupid sister voted for plugs brandon because she was sure President Trump would get US into a nuke war.
Haven’t contacted her since the great steal happened and I hung up on her after she said that...
