How come they haven't shown us pictures that clear of the $100 science experiment balloons that DementiaJoe shot out of the sky with $400k missiles?

I'm sure they have them.....

It’s only a matter of time before American pilots are shot down.

True. No one in our government leadership has learned from history or they want to make so much from war profiteering that they won't care.

Well, if NATO wants to escalate to WWIII, they better have a few million body bags handy, because once one nuke goes off, several others will go off. They will at some point target a large population center. Once that happens, you won't be able to bury all the bodies cause there will not be enough people alive in that bombed city to bury the dead. Nukes don't just kill a city block and harm no one else. A nuke goes off and whole states are in jeopardy.

However, there will be no nukes going off until GOD allows them to fall during the Tribulation period. It states clearly that ONE-THIRD of the earth's population will die in the first go around, then one-half during another. That will cut the population from 8 million to around 5.5 million and then 2.5 million dead. That is a lot of dead. They won't be buried either. The Book of Revelation clearly states that these two periods will occur and that the beast of the fields and the birds of the skys will feast on the dead.

I have read that some biblical scholars believe that as few as 250-600 million will be left on the earth at the end of the Tribulation. The only way to get the population culled down that much is nukes. No other way to slaughter that many in conventional way.

The Pentagon has been peddling a kinder, gentler WWIII. A WWII Eastern Front type meat grinder can be fought and won they tell us. Even if somehow the war didn’t cross the nuclear threshold, you’re talking about millions of dead American boys. A simple majority vote from the congress that has already pi$$ed away $150+ Billion on Uke corruption brings back the draft.

The want a war, without it being a war, because a war allows them to pass all kinds of laws banning all political opposition and complete the transformation to a true One-Party Dictatorship.

Sure you can vote, but only for the “approved” candidates, just like in the former Soviet Union.

The buzzards and scavengers are about to eat well, Retired Army. As our "leaders" like the Captain of the Titanicthey sail blissfully along, ignoring the signs and signals. They know that a war, nuclear or conventional, will result in many dead. As long as the dead are the serfs, peons, and peasants, they care not one whit.They are also secure in the knowledge that none of the dead will be members of their families. A nuclear war may disabuse them of that notion, though.

Amen brother, Amen. If I had to choose between that mob in Sodom on the Sound or take my chances with the Inca’s, Aztecs, or Hittites, I’d choose the three latter ones to lead me. The mob in Sodom is doing its dead level best to destroy the Republic. Their leader, Burrack Hussien Obammy, appointed High Priest of the Dark Order, is making all the decisions. That is why he ran BrainDead By-den so he could order him around. He would not have ran the Hildabeast. She has her own dark agenda. Soros appointed Obammy as High Priest of the Dark Order. If Soros dies, his son Obammy, will run his empire. The Dark Side of the Dark Order makes Darth Vader look like a Junior High play.

Satan has taken hold of the government of the United States and is chanting “War war war war”. War against your own people. War against other nations. War against American ideals. War against God.

Ever read Herman Kahn?

“In this widely discussed and influential book, Herman Kahn probes the dynamics of escalation and demonstrates how the intensification of conflict can be depicted by means of a definite escalation ladder, ascent of which brings opponents closer to all-out war. At each rung of the ladder, before the climb proceeds, decisions must be made based on numerous choices. Some are clear and obvious, others obscure, but the options are always there.

Thermonuclear annihilation, says Kahn, is unlikely to come through accident; but nations may elect to climb the ladder to extinction. The basic material for the book was developed in briefings delivered by Kahn to military and civilian experts and revised in the light of his findings of a trip to Vietnam in the 1960s. In On Escalation he states the facts squarely. He asks the reader to face unemotionally the terrors of a world fully capable of suicide and to consider carefully the alternatives to such a path.

In the never-never land of nuclear warfare, where nuclear incredulity is pervasive and paralyzing to the imagination even for the professional analyst, salient details of possible scenarios for the outbreak of war, and even more for war fighting, are largely unexplored or even unnoticed. For scenarios in which war is terminated, the issues and possibilities of which are almost completely unstudied, the situation is even worse. Kahn’s discussion throws light on the terrain and gives the individual a sense of the range of possibilities and complexities involved and are useful.”

“The prop is sheared off at the tip. It definitely was hit by something”.

Maybe the Russian jet was specifically modified with a probe designed to damage the prop(s), then break off harmlessly.

“The propeller looks ok after they supposedly collided.”

Look again

I did see a video on my television and I was able to see the broken piece of the propeller. I think the incident lasted close to 30 minutes. Russia was trying to run the drone off but it kept flying in the same direction. If we were fighting a battle we would shoot down any drone collecting intelligence that would be used to kill Americans. We wouldn't hesitate and we shouldn't. I don't know why we didn't anticipate the same response from Russia.
