those are old, slow, lumbering and have no defense. The easiest bomber in the world to just shoot down. That is IF they function long enough to get to even Ukraine. I’ve spent many hours flying on the wing of those guys while escorting them around the Carrier Battle Group. They’re faster than you would think and the Bear-D versions I escorted did have guns…top, belly, and tail IIRC. I have some good photos of their tail gunners and other crew members in the observation windows. Their pilots in WestPac were A-holes and would try to turn into you at low altitude and drag you off on the water or a ship’s superstructure. On the other hand, the guys we encountered in the North Atlantic were pretty professional. I flew formation on one Bear off of Norway for a couple of hours in clouds from 25,000’ down to 500’ and they didn’t scare me at all. My RIO kept me posted on turns but the copilot would signal before a turn or descent/climb. It was actually pretty cool. What was really annoying was that you could feel the props pounding the air and if the crew wanted, they could de-synchronize the props and create a “beat” that you would feel in your chest sort of like the a top fuel dragster. At the risk of sounding weird, I never skip your posts!

I hope Russia pounds the schitt out of Ukraine. That failed nation-state has been the source of uncountable crimes by the Deep State and Democrats getting kick-backs from laundered US dollars, as well as the secret bioweapon labs. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/yrb5iNK.jpeg) The problem with this is its the average ukraining citizen and Russian trooper who will suffer while all the dirt bags who created this mess are out yachting on their private ship thousands of miles away. That's the problem when citizens fail to rise up against their own dirt bag leaders. It always comes back on the average guy. Makes me wondering what's in store for us for allowing Biden to steal the office and do all these corrupt deals. You know we'll pay a heavy price for his open borders alone. Makes a guy think if we don't take a little gross cough medicine now it'll be chemo for everyone soon. Bb Pretty spot on! The time for gross cough medicine was 60 years ago.

Bb It's way beyond that, WWIII has started, most of us don't realize it just because we haven't seen a second sunrise yet. Pres. Putin will not let this terror attack go unanswered. He's not insane like our FedGov overlords.

You haven't studied history, Jackson, or you'd know that it was a generation of oldsters who send my generation to Vietnam. And their elders sent them to WWII. And on and on back to the Punic Wars. But because you think history began when you were in grade school, you know none of this. AYE !!!!!

Boomers can't help themselves, they are giddy for WWIII and destruction of the planet. A pathetic generation they are.. If anybody really wanted WWIII and MAD, we would have had it long ago. A boomer's boomer once advised that to see peace, one must prepare for war. If that scares you, then you need to grow up. You don't know what you don't yet know. Boomers do know what you don't yet know. But hey, why learn from somebody else. Yes, the old war will give us peace bullchit. So when does this peace come? As long as the US is a thing, the world will never have peace. We create death and destruction all over the world. Been doin it long before i wqs born Prior to WWII, the US tried the isolationist strategy. Small military, limited interventions. Didn't work so well. Humans have been fighting and killing each other since the beginning of time. It's just in us. We're tribal like that. And humans certainly have no monopoly on competition/killing for resources. You want to be the weakest kid on the block and see what happens? I don't.

You want to be the weakest kid on the block and see what happens? I don't. I don't know where the rumor of isolationism got started, but the us has been meddling around the world since the Spanish American war. Prior to World war, the sequel, isolationism was a conservative principle. During World war 2, leftist politicians realized they could make bank on endless war. Since then, conservative politicians have slowly become an extinct species such that now almost all politicians are leftists. Unfortunately, their propaganda has been effective enough to convince even run-of-the-mill conservatives to clamor for endless intervention, for fear of another world war. (Never mind that we're on the verge of that world war, and we haven't been "isolationist" for 8 decades.)

Been doin it long before i wqs born We've had peace with Japan and Western Germany since 1945. Your policies got us into the war. A brutal application of overwhelming force that didn't stop until we achieved unconditional surrender is a good part of the reason the peace has held.

Well at least the world was peaceful and without conquest before the USA came along................give or take.
You want to be a pu$$y-azzed country and get ran over by everyone else? I don't. The only reason some of the lame-assed countries can exist, is because they are allies with the US.

I have no desire to get over run. But that could be accomplished with a strong military, that stayed at home and protected opine own borders, rather than being deployed around the world and often being used to cause more problems than it solved.
As to your sarcastic comment concerning world peace before the US, I couldn't care less if every other country fought itself to death. The US was at peace until we adopted the role of world police.
As far as being over run like a pu$sy a$s country, have you seen the recent news from Texas?

The US is a maritime nation.
If you don't grasp what that means, I'm not going to explain it to you.

When did we become a maritime nation? Before or after Cuba? Why weren't we involved in constant overseas conflict prior to that?

Prior to WWII it was far more limited. "....From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli....."

As far as being over run like a pu$sy a$s country, have you seen the recent news from Texas? That’s just silly. Britain had a very strong military, on an island, including a world class Navy, and without massive help from the US it would be speaking German right now. Had they stood up and punched Hitler in the nose after Sudetenland, the Germans would have had three less years of militarization and political consolidation. Kinda like appeasing Putin when he annexed Crimea. The US has a geographic advantage through distance, but Putin reconstituting the USSR under a despot would be at our southern border in under a generation.
