Steve Holt! Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 If only we had an airplane designed to prevent Russian tanks from pushing west into Europe..
Lawman Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) If only we had an airplane designed to prevent Russian tanks from pushing west into Europe.. I think the bigger point is if only there weren't just 6 NATO members meeting the prescribed budget for military spending they agreed to. Gotta pay for all that socialized bullshit first.

Gotta pay for all that socialized bullshit first. Yup - but slowly and reluctantly I think they are starting to realize that they actually live in a really nice neighborhood but with some really really bad neighbors... Europe Begins to Rethink Cuts to Military Spending Rethinking German Pacifism and Poland is not going to get run over by history again, at least not without a real fight... Don't Mess with Poland Edited April 6, 2014 by Clark Griswold
Lawman Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Did a lot of support missions with the Poles in RC east. They are some ballsy sons of bitches who are not afraid of a fight.
discus Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Did a lot of support missions with the Poles in RC east. They are some ballsy sons of bitches who are not afraid of a fight. Historically, when the Blitzkrieg, with numerous Panzer Divisions rolled into Poland, the Polish Army went out and battled them... On horseback. Some would call that ballsy.
Clark Griswold Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 More reasons for the Poles to be concerned Belarus says Russia to send warplanes in response to NATO drills
panchbarnes Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I wonder if Russia will deploy more troops to protect these Pro-Russia protesters? https://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/06/us-ukraine-crisis-storm-idUSBREA350B420140406 (Reuters) - Around 100 pro-Russian protesters stormed the regional government building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk on Sunday and hung up a Russian flag in defiance of Kiev's pro-European government.
17D_guy Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 This whole thing is reading out like the training scenarios used in high level command centers. I used to make fun of the scenarios for being so un-realistic.
Clayton Bigsby Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Russia is being an asshole and annexing neighbording countries again, and building up new nuclear systems, yup sounds like a good time to pull 50 of our ancient ICBMs from their silos.

Philip Breedlove painted for members of the House Armed Services Committee a bleak picture of Russia’s actions—and warned that the United States was not taking steps it could to help Ukraine better defend itself. On several points—from estimates of Moscow’s troops to intelligence-sharing with Russia’s likely adversaries—Breedlove’s briefing directly contradicted the message coming from other branches of the Obama administration."

The Ginger Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Ukraine Says it Shot Down a Russian Spy Drone. Lots of good, gritty news about this conflict over there at Vice.
panchbarnes Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Well that wasn't very nice of Putin... Russian Bombers Fly Within 50 Miles of California Coast https://freebeacon.com/national-security/russian-bombers-fly-within-50-miles-of-california-coast/ Four Russian strategic bombers triggered U.S. air defense systems while conducting practice bombing runs near Alaska this week, with two of the Tu-95 Bear H aircraft coming within 50 miles of the California coast, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad) confirmed Wednesday.
brewskis Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Fly more than the T-Birds? https://time.com/94569/crimea-air-show-russian-fighter-jet-video/ Does anyone understand the Russian obsession with aerobatic demonstration teams? Everyone and a while you'll read about them standing up another team.
