I have been a member here since 2005 (with another name) and I used to contribute generously, but the just plain meanness and the attacks to get new people banned - I can see why conservatives are getting such a bad reputation.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

Conservatives are losing because someone disagreed with you on an FR thread?

Mighty trollish of you n

[TomServo]

Get over yourself.

[TomServo]

Get over yourself.

Whoops.

Nevermind...lol...

[Tijeras_Slim]

Yeah, yeah... every retread and concern troll “used to contribute generously”... Sort of like “walking uphill both ways to school in knee deep snow.”

What was your prior incarnation?

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

Bye, M’lady.

Good grief. Absolutely nothing to see. Think about it 'nuclear armed'? No side wants to go back to those day with aircraft flying around with live nuclear weapons. There have been far too many accidents involving bombers carrying nukes in the past. It would take a massive increase in alert posture for bombers to be flying around with live nuke ALCMs.

One good thing that has developed out of the confidence building measures is a bomber exchange program.. 2013 should see Russian bombers visiting Barksdale

Russian strategic bombers to visit U.S. Two Russian Tupolev Tu-95MS strategic bombers will fly to the Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, United States, in 2013 under an agreement reached during a recent visit of senior officers from the Russian Long-Range Air Force to the United States, Long-Range Air Force commander Lt. Gen. Anatoly Zhikharev said on Tuesday. Zhikharev made the announcement at a news conference.

There will also be a return visit in 2013 - two American [Boeing] B-52 strategic bombers will land at our air force base in Engels, Saratov region, in 2013," he said. U.S. officers are due to pay an inspection visit to the Russian base next week, he added.
