The Pentagon announced Wednesday it will delay its nuclear missile test scheduled for this weekend in the midst of Russian President Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine so he does not 'misunderstand' the move.
Kirby said the U.S. did not put its nuclear forces on heightened alert in response to Putin's move.

I guess this is because putin obviously misunderstood what a "minor incursion" is.

Why not just ask for putin’s approval before canceling it outright. Maybe because they would have to ask China to? /s

This is a good move. I wonder who thought of it. There must still be a level head around somewhere.
And don’t believe for a moment that we aren’t on high alert. There’s no reason to antagonize the lunatic in the Kremlin right now about nuclear weapons.

even though the submarine based Tridents can basically destroy the world on its own, its time to upgrade the land based missiles...”MINUTEMAN 4..”always ALWAYS READY”....

If there is a stalled column of military transports 40 miles long into Kiev. Why is it not being bombed and cannon blown to hell? I don’t mean to be Captain Obvious, but 3000 military vehicles as sitting ducks is a high value target. Sitting flicking still in the wide open.

Yeh especially since they don’t have the authority to conduct a test like that. 😆

"Weakness"
I agree. Russia is still conducting missile tests. Are those of you praising this move also advocating the delay of pending DoD space launches?

The “neutral” Swiss are sending munitions to Ukraine.
A Swiss pilot qualified in an A-10 is needed now.
