PING!

Wow, I hope the high speed of these planes doesn’t cause a huge wind that might tip the place over! Or is that only if more people are sent there?

Putin waves his thing in Obama’s face. Obama just stands there.

F-22’s were up and all over them, but the bear’s did not detect, scan, paint returns, see, hear, or sense the Raptors presence.

Nothing new.

Guam has always been a crossroads.

Separately, two Canadian F-18s intercepted two Bear bombers that intruded into the Alaska air defense identification zone on Dec. 8 that a military spokesman called “unwanted, provocative, and potentially destabilizing.”

What? We've outsourced the air defense of our homeland to Canadia? Whose responsible for guarding our coasts? Iceland?

If 2014 were a Charles Atlas comic book muscle-building ad, Barry would be the 90 pound weakling with Putin as the husky beach bully always kicking sand in Barry’s face.
And then Pootie rides off on a bear.

Alaska and Canada have similar lines, I welcome or Canadian friends.

[Texas Eagle]

If Canadia is responsible for protecting Alaska, who is responsible for protecting Guam? New Guinea?

[Texas Eagle]

Goodness gracious. Can’t a guy crack a joke around here anymore?

[mylife]

Sarah Palin?

[mylife]

Hasn’t been possible in ages.

"F-22’s were up and all over them, but the bear’s did not detect, scan, paint returns, see, hear, or sense the Raptors presence."

How would you know that? And if true, why would you broadcast that to the world?

[Texas Eagle]

(sigh) Alas, you are correct. O, for the good ol’ days.

[mylife]

‘Tis what it is.

“The aircraft were flying safely in international airspace and in accordance with international norms; as such, the decision was made to not intercept them.”

It was the second time in a month that nuclear-capable Russian bombers buzzed the island in what U.S. officials have said is nuclear saber-rattling by Russia under its strongman Vladimir Putin.

COMPLETE BABBLE

[mylife]

Which is it?
Why run yer mouth?

"Russian strategic bombers conducted a third circumnavigation of the U.S. Pacific island of Guam last week as other bombers flew close to Alaska and Europe, defense officials said."

I assume these flying billboards are primarily used as distractions.
