Glenn,
Nuttier than Squirrels crap!
Luv it.

How do you say GMAFB in Russian?

The Russians deployed not one but TWO missile systems already which violate the treaty. Even the Obama administration admitted it....they just wanted to spinelessly “negotiate” about it. They broke the treaty. Fine. Done. We’re out.

Nothing more to it.

[justa-hairyape]

Yep, they certainly colluded to elect Trump. Lol.

“Nuclear wars can’t be won. Pressing YOUR button means your adversary presses HIS”

Low-flying low-observable cruise missiles change the game. Plus we now have multiple players. You can be a target of first strikes and not even know where they came from.

“We are preparing to defend our homeland, our territorial integrity, our principles, our values, our people — we are preparing for such a war,” he reiterated." All he's saying is that they're prepared to defend themselves, but won't be aggressors. Tough-talking non-bluster. Big whoop. An old patriotic Russian theme.

Do the Russians Want War? (old song)

Kindly note the source.

[Retvet]

They withdrew from the treaty when they broke it. They illegally develped new middles!

It’s nothing new. Communist and fascist nations try to expand to conquer other countries and want to rule the world. That’s what they do. It’s called expansionism.

This is from a couple of days ago.

No, but we are preparing. Trump knows the wolves want at the door, east, west, and south.

"No, we are not. Every citizen needs to embark on a personal preparedness plan. Food, water, medicine, pets, shelter, weapons, ammo, first aid, barter materials, etc.

If you're not ready for a 6 month shelter in place, I strongly recommend getting started.

Little by little, get there."

Agreed. Make sure that everyone in your household has plenty of warm weather clothing and extra blankets. Store plenty of food that won't need refrigeration, and that you'll be able to cook, if needed, without electricity from the power grid. Consider storing some spare parts and supplies for periodically needed maintenance and repairs. Also, extra flashlights, batteries, radios, etc.

All nations are in a constant state of preparation for war. Any nation saying otherwise is a liar.

Exactly! I only had to scroll through six predictable responses to find an intelligent reply. "Si vis pacem, para bellum" is the ages-old understanding that "If you want peace, prepare for war." All serious nations understand and practice this wisdom.

[Alas Babylon!]

I can assure you as a retired member of the US Air Force—we CAN observe AND track them.

We’ll know where they’re from.

And smoke their homelands.

Nuclear powers in the world today in order of ability to destroy their enemies is as follows:
USA
Russia
England
France
China
India and Pakistan

The first four have the ability to destroy their foe into a no longer functioning nation even if they are destroyed. China in the future and near future can also achieve this status if they desire so. India and Pakistan are of no relevance as if they go to nuclear war it will be regional.

Iran is the real wild card. If they become nuclear which I suspect they are today they can rain hell down on the middle east at which point Israel will destroy them and much of the middle east. Israel will also hit Russia as the old USSR and present day Russia supports those that oppose Israel. Israel has this ability. This could actually lead to all the world powers engaging in intercontinental nuclear warfare.

Israel at this point would have nothing to lose as they would know full well their nation is destroyed. It is called the “Samson Option.” Most fortunately this will be confined to the middle east if we are lucky. Pray the Mullahs are not insane but I fear they are.

Mutually Assured Destruction is alive and well, pray the Mullahs in Iran regain sanity.

I left Israel out of the list above. We really do not know what they have. They do have the designs of our best weapons but that is another story. I assure you their nuclear arsenal is most robust. Israel never says what they have but their enemies no exactly what they have. Israel told them what they have.

“enemies no”

Should read as “enemies know” I had an attack of stupid fingers again.

[Freelance Warrior]

What he was saying was actually that we have been preparing for a defensive war should anyone, be it the USA or not, start one against us. Preparing for war in the spirit of the ‘si vis pacet para bellum’ thing.

[trebb]

The Cold War never really ended...we are still in position to sink them economically if they persist.

Thank you Sit

[no-to-illegals]

Don’t know what happened in my prior post to you I meant to type Thank You Sir. My apology for the prior post
