“Right now Russia has nukes on ships off the US east and west coast.”

And?

You act like this has never happened before.

Like I said, the small arms and ammo are the problem. Not a bunch of worn out Humvees.

But I cannot see Russia wanting the small arms.

That photo was from very early in the war. I wonder how many of those Russians in the photo are still breathing?

That’s what I’d do if I were him.

Yeah, those are missiles and without the Command Launch Unit, they are pretty much useless.

It’s just like those TOW missiles the Iranians wanted as part of Iran-Contra. They wanted the missiles, so we gave them exactly what they wanted.

They never got the tripods, launch tubes, traverse units, missile guidance sets, or the battery assemblies that are required to make the missiles work.

“Right now Russia has nukes on ships off the US east and west coast. People have absolutely no idea how close we are to igniting WWIII.”

They don’t want to know. But you are correct. The belgorod is off the east coast awaiting orders.
We are that close. I have in recent days posted here about making it to see spring.

How many of those 50,000 vehicles were already damaged or destroyed?

It costs MORE to ship damaged or destroyed vehicles back than it is to leave them there.

They are so fast that there won’t be time to type in codes.

See my links above.

“The belgorod is off the east coast awaiting orders.”

And we have 688i and Virginia class SSN’s close enough to deal with them.

If DC gets nuked, we still have the means to launch.

Most of the hardware left in Afghanistan was junk. Even the serviceable stuff was primarily older configurations. The helicopters were UH-60A’s which we have not flown for years and they did not have any sensitive avionics.

Citation please.

Be a shame if he acquired a bunch of abandoned USA manpads and sent operatives to take out billionaire globalist psychopaths’ private jets.

Oh, puhleeeze. 50,000 vehicles including Humvees, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, APCs, Abrahms Tanks, Helicopters, Drones and damn near everything else in our inventory. And only a very, very small percentage (maybe 5% - 10%) could be considered damaged.

Stop making excuses for the Biden admin, Gen. Milley and the rest of thoae traitorous woke jackwagons in the Pentagon.

They did have the TOW launchers though.

Mostly they used TOWS from AH-1 Cobras.
They made good use of those in the Iran-Iraq war.

No M1 Abrams or Bradleys.
The helos were transport jobs.

Not an excuse, just facts. Yes it was a huge blunder/disgrace/costly mess to let this happen, and no doubt it contributed to encouraging Putin, but hysteria is not useful.

There is an itemized list, you should look it up.
