. > Navy Chief Admiral Nirmal Verma today said it would be a difficult task to even spot the vessels in the vast expanse of high seas. Yea, right...
Then we need to fire this Navy and put an ad in the paper for one who can, because "Finding and sinking other boats" is the second basic Navy requirement, right after "Don't let your own boat sink".
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Are the Russians testing the Bulva missile right off our coast? The Chinese? Not good at all.

The entire world knows we have a panty-waist incompetent fool...someone less capable than a random man off the street...as President. All doubt about him has been demonstrably removed. So you think real powers in the world don’t want to make sure we understand that they know we are neutered...a toothless old cat?

What kind of airplane is that in the video? I don’t think any US military would fire it off so close to a civilian airplane would they?

I’m glad the TV station put “AMAZING VIDEO” above the news scroller. I almost didn’t realize it was amazing.

Thats cuz youre watching from over the horizon. As I watched the video from the original news program the plume is at the horizon but the telltale is the plume itself.
A SLBM breaches the surface and the engines fire. The missile rises vertical as it stabilizes itself and then orients itself. Once it has settled down it starts the pitch program to send it toward its intended target.
The vertical flight is only several hundred feet and you can see the vertical portion of the plume in the original video from the news station. You can also see the wider smoke base on the video where the engine start sequence initiated.

I'm awfully tempted to put up a picture of a sub-sonic airliner hitting the Pentagon with over 45 minutes notice.

This, combined with probes by Bear's, Backfires, and an unknown aircraft coming from Russia is not good. I suspect that this missile was the Bulva, a new sub launched missile that many say does not work. Well, we know it works now....

It was probably suppose to happen last week before the election but someone wrote down the wrong date.
