I thought it was Pavarati ... ;-).

I loved that book and the film was done quite well. I hate to say it, but Alec Baldwin would have been a great Jack Ryan in subsequent films (I didn’t like Harrison Ford or Ben Affleck though I didn’t dislike the Chris Pine one).

For some stupid reason, I still crack up at the line “Come on big D, fly ... “ ... Hopefully we are dropping enough sonar bouys so that a man can walk from Alaska to Russia without getting his feet wet :-).

Fallout ... That was my first thought reading this news :-). I can’t wait for the new one. I had to uninstall that Fallout Shelter game from my phone ... Way too addictive and I have no self control :-).

Why stop at the Bering Sea? Wouldn’t be surprised to see them sailing up the Mississippi.

You are correct. I’m sure we have some stealthy subs shadowing them at all times. There is no navy that could stand toe to toe with ours.

China reset, Russian reset, Syria reset, Yemen reset, Iraq reset, and the store given away to Iran. The hits just keep on coming. And we have to wait how many more months till this POS is out of office along with his band of merry men like Kerry?

“I thought it was Pavarotti ... “

It was Paganini. Pavarotti is a tenor, Paganini was a composer. :-)

How’d that work out for the Japanese Empire?


Different day, different leaders my FRiend.

For all we know that worthless POS in Washington already sold Alaska to the Chicom and will announce it when the boats land.

Keep your powder dry
