Obama has never looked more miserable in photos. His darling terrorists are finally on the international $hit list.

I don’t think they would want you to. Given what Western civilization actually is - right now, today - I don’t think they lose a thing by not being a part of it.

Not sure, I think the Russians want versatility and to spread the load.

I didn’t know they still had any TU-22s operational as bombers.

The Russians don’t normally go for ‘targeted strikes.’ But a single bomber with a full load of 250 Kg bombs will do a bit of damage.

What new stuff are you talking about? Better hope and pray that rusty junk won’t fall apart over some friendly folks.

Hopefully soon I can link to nice BUFF if Obummer will wake his sorry butt up and get serious, but don't hold your breath.

The only way the B-52s will be flying will be flying in that theater of operations is after we get a REAL American President back in the White House.
As for the TU-95 Bear?
That venerable airplane is the Russian ‘BUFF’, it has had many upgrades over the years and the current versions flying appear to have a lot of life in ‘em.

Which one looks so fragile.
To: Navy Patriot
I looked it up after I posted. It’s a different plane from the original Tu-22. Different engines and placement, different wings, and perhaps different fuselage, but otherwise the same. Backfires, not Blinders.
