"Is Russia's secret ally in this their old comrades North Korea?"

As my hilbilly relatives would say, "Darn tootin'!"

[Commander8]

Don't get me started on the 150 "misplaced" suitcase nukes.

Alert bump!

"their determination to repel any potential threat coming from the West."

It appears Russia is as delusional as the USSR was, to the point of ignoring the real threat to their homeland, and I do mean the French.

[Poohbah]

Yo, maestro...you going to answer the question I posed in Post #15?

[GOP_1900AD]

And our most recent such exercise was when?.....

[Lazamataz]

How the Wyrm turns ...... this used to be our doctrine with regards to possible West Germany invasion in the late 70's ..... we didn't know if we could win.

I remember that.

OK FREEPER's here is JUICE about RUSSIA! This is another trial balloon story for "Star Wars and the Global War System" business deal. So invest in companies that make the products.

The Russia's are in the deal also because someway, somehow they alway get our weapon systems.

Follow The Moneta

"What if free people could live secure in the knowledge ... that we could intercept and destroy strategic ballistic missiles before they reached our own soil...?"

President Ronald Reagan

I don't know how to intercept a nuclear capable AGM-86 air-launched cruise missile.

Must admit, this is the a.n.s.w.e.r.

Quadanium Steel Outer Hull....Nice Contract...

Should Russia make the same demand when STRATCOM puts on a major exercise, where they practice fighting a nuclear war against Russia? And if we refuse to call off our exercise, and never hold it again, should Russia launch a first strike?

Yes.

Yes it should.

[Poohbah]

And our most recent such exercise was when?.....

STRATCOM's not in the publicity business, but they happen fairly often--their annual exercise schedule includes GLOBAL ARCHER, GLOBAL GUARDIAN, POSITIVE FORCE, POSITIVE RESPONSE, and a bunch of lower-level unnamed drills with forces from Air Combat Command, Space Command, and NORAD. The last GLOBAL GUARDIAN exercise was conducted in October 2002.

"You are forgetting that the Russians never ever cut back on their strategic missiles and strategic forces. In fact, they have increased funding and development for them since the fall of the Berlin Wall."

Not to mention that they have a huge civil defense capability which they also keep increasing. Supposedly they have one underground facility that can house 500,000 people for a year.

I hope we have those targeted.

[rstevens]

We learn a lot from such military war games. I'm sure our military planners are looking forward to seeing just exactly
what the Russians have. Believe me our intelligence forces will be evaluating every aspect of this war game.

Ploxo Laz.
Nye donutski.   = )

[Lazamataz]

But nuclear explosions look cool!!!!

[arielb]

they can't even take over Grozny without thousands of casualties and they want to deal with the US?

[Poohbah]

I hope we have those targeted.

We do.

A nuclear explosion just outside the entrance to a underground facility will turn all 500,000 of those people into a puree, assuming that the whole facility doesn't just collapse.

[fortheDeclaration]

UNBELIEVABLE! Thank God for His mercies that He protects us from ourselves!

[Poohbah]

Ping. Please answer the question in this post:

I am not forgetting a thing.

Major-General Igor Khvorov, commander of the 37th air army of the High Commander-in-Chief, said that the official objective of the exercise is to polish cooperation between the long-range aviation, the Navy, and other branches of the army in the western, eastern, northern, and southern regions of the Russian Federation, and over the world's oceans. This emphasizes a global scale of the impending maneuvers.

What is written above is a joke. They don't have the resources for any meaningful conventional exercise. I swear that this place is flooded with dimocrats. Many people find it hard to understand simple english. I think they respond to posts just to start an arguement. I never mentioned nuclear forces. Their conventional exercises will involve a handful of forces...no where near what we would consider a large exercise. It is not a significant exercise if the article is acurate.
