Engels Air Force Base (Russian: Энгельс, formally Engels-2) is a strategic bomber military airbase in Russia located 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) east of Saratov. Engels is a major bomber operations base, and is Russia's sole operating location for the Tupolev Tu-160 (NATO: Blackjack) strategic bomber. The base has a 3,500-metre (11,500 ft) runway and about 10 large revetments. It is named after the nearby city of Engels, which is named after the Communist philosopher, Friedrich Engels.

Waiting for a Putinista to chirp "See? America renames things due to wokeness...Russia holds on to tradition."

You ain’t gonna like the nuclear war you want so badly.

[marcusmaximus]

Tell your Putin to leave Ukraine.

[DoodleBob]

Huh?

[Williams]

What really galls me about these anti Ukraine folks is they are rhetorical bomb throwers.

Then they complain that you are irresponsible.

They constantly accuse anyone who disagrees with them, of really bizarre stuff.

For example, you were just accused matter of factly, of wanting a nuclear war.

And they talk matter of factly about us all being “paid” by Soros, the military industrial complex, etc.

Then they insist they are the sensible ones and crazies like us are going to destroy the world.

Tell your Biden to stop interfering in everyone’s agreements. 2014 Minsks, anyone?

[lodi90]

What is it with Putinists and a nuclear war fetish? Obviously, it’s something they fantasize about.

[marcusmaximus]

Russian TU-95 MS heavy bomber loaded with cruise moss completely destroyed in the strike.

[lodi90]

Yet they can’t wait to tell us there is “no communism in Russia.” LOL.

[lodi90]

Trump Iran policy anyone? Or are we good with Biden partnering with Putin to bust Trump’s excellent Middle East policies?

[marcusmaximus]

Putin still MIA this weekend. Did his boyfriend Lukashenko give him COVID last week?

[Vermont Lt]

That’s gonna take a couple weeks to replace. Lol.

Merry Christmas Russia

[cabojoe]

It’s Christmas day, the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus, and all you think about is war.

Russia can't defend its airbases from a Ukrainian drone?

[for-q-clinton]

Correction: CIA & MI6 pre-emptive strike.

[marcusmaximus]

Tell your Putin to leave Ukraine.

[marcusmaximus]

A big and slow Ukrainian drone.

[elpadre]

seems like I read a story the other day that the CIA had a sabotage team working inside Russia.

If that is true (big “if}, then if they should apprehended we may expect the first nuclear strike.
