So then, the only factor that currently makes the Tu-95 a threat to American airspace is that feckless incompetent weasel in the Oval Office?

BTW, I didn’t know a Sopwith Camel could even reach 200 mph. Not with that madly spinning Gnome rotary under the cowling.

That was the last iteration of the Sopwith .. they had a massive blower and used jet fuel ... they really got up to speed when the pilot manually cranked the wings into the swept back position ...
