What is going on here?
Aren’t they making a big assumption that Barky would actually retaliate? Of course maybe they are worried about the Frogs and Brits.
I am seeing posts on FaceBook which seem to indicate Putin gave BO 24 hours or Putin’s ships will open fire. I don’t know how true that news is as I am not familiar with the sites this tidbit came from.
Whether or not war is near, Obama is risking war by playing politics. And he’s losing the world, Philippines, Syria, Iraq, Libya. .. The press loves it.
Yeah, well, they don’t trust the current president.
Can’t say as I blame them.
And if Hillary gets elected, then maybe it’s time for US to find the nearest bunkers also.
But I don’t think Putin is so stupid as to start something, especially so close to our election.
He’s pretty politically savvy and while I don’t know who he’s hoping will win, my guess is that it’s NOT going to be Hillary.
I expect that while he may not disagree with Trump on everything, he probably respects him more than any US politician since Reagan.
Bump for later. My Russian friend told about this three weeks ago.
It’s been big news among Russians for a while now.
Russia’s bunkers were closed long ago and are now full of water and toxic waste
How does the Ruskies helping the Jihadi nutz running Iran go nuclear help Muthur Russia?
Fortunately I live in North Texas only a little way from a major Raytheon facility. Sure it would be a target so if the nukes start flying I’ll be incinerated before I even see the flash.
I cannot make any sense out of this. Syria is not important enough to either country to go to nuclear war over.
Nothing Obama is doing in the middle east that I have heard of ought to be more than an irritant to Russia.
Where’s the beef?
If you had had the nuts to stand up all along the line, they would have found someone easier to pick on.
Don't even think about challenging Putin, odumbo. He would beat you like a parlor rug and then go to breakfast.
It’s Christmas at Ground Zero

Trump for President.
Sounds like Russia is planning to do something huge. Something excessive and upsetting enough that it is preparing for a large retaliatory strike.
Bump
Crop Circle formation from a couple of days ago, this one is in Argentina:
?? Do we still have a nuclear missile submarine fleet (SSBN)?
Seems like suicide for all sides if one side thinks they can survive a nuclear exchange. Of course the will to use them may be in question but that is a big gamble to find out if that will exists. Add in the land based ICBMs and the bomber wings and what does the winner win? Smoking piles of radio active waste? No winners.
“When Donald Trump and I observe that, as I’ve said, in Syria, in Iran, in Ukraine, that the small and bullying leader of Russia has been stronger on the world stage than this administration, that’s stating painful facts. That’s not an endorsement of Vladimir Putin — that’s an indictment of the weak and feckless leadership of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.”

Also from the Oct 5, 2016 first VP debate...
QUIJANO (Moderator): I want to turn now to Syria. Two hundred fifty thousand people, 100,000 of them children, are under siege in Aleppo, Syria. Bunker buster bombs, cluster munitions, and incendiary weapons are being dropped on them by Russian and Syrian militaries. Does the U.S. have a responsibility to protect civilians and prevent mass casualties on this scale, Governor Pence?
PENCE: The United States of America needs to begin to exercise strong leadership to protect the vulnerable citizens and over 100,000 children in Aleppo. Hillary Clinton’s top priority when she became secretary of state was the Russian reset, the Russians reset.
After the Russian reset, the Russians invaded Ukraine and took over Crimea.
And the small and bullying leader of Russia is now dictating terms to the United States to the point where all the United States of America — the greatest nation on Earth — just withdraws from talks about a cease-fire while Vladimir Putin puts a missile defense system in Syria while he marshals the forces and begins — look, we have got to begin to lean into this with strong, broad-shouldered American leadership.
It begins by rebuilding our military. And the Russians and the Chinese have been making enormous investments in the military. We have the smallest Navy since 1916. We have the lowest number of troops since the end of the Second World War. We’ve got to work with Congress, and Donald Trump will, to rebuild our military and project American strength in the world.
But about Aleppo and about Syria, I truly do believe that what America ought to do right now is immediately establish safe zones, so that families and vulnerable families with children can move out of those areas, work with our Arab partners, real time, right now, to make that happen.
And secondly, I just have to tell you that the provocations by Russia need to be met with American strength.
And if Russia chooses to be involved and continue, I should say, to be involved in this barbaric attack on civilians in Aleppo, the United States of America should be prepared to use military force to strike military targets of the Assad regime to prevent them from this humanitarian crisis that is taking place in Aleppo.
There’s a broad range of other things that we ought to do, as well. We ought to deploy a missile defense shield to the Czech Republic and Poland which Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama pulled back on out of not wanting to offend the Russians back in 2009.
QUIJANO: Governor, your two minutes are up.
PENCE: We’ve just got to have American strength on the world stage. When Donald Trump becomes president of the United States, the Russians and other countries in the world will know they’re dealing with a strong American president.

And....
PENCE: What we’re dealing with is the — you know, there’s an old proverb that says the Russian bear never dies, it just hibernates.
And the truth of the matter is, the weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened an aggression in Russia that first appeared a few years ago with their move in Georgia, now their move into Crimea, now their move into the wider Middle East.
And all the while, all we do is fold our arms and say we’re not having talks anymore.
To answer your question, we just need American strength. We need to — we need to marshal the resources of our allies in the region, and in the immediate, we need to act and act now to get people out of harm’s way.
Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."
The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.
"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."
