That’s exactly what Omar Bradley told policymakers in the 1940s... and then Korea happened

The Kirovs could likely survive several Harpoon hits though, and the US doesn’t really have anything with even close to the capabilities of Russian ASMs or SAMs.

It’s really quite interesting how, despite having virtually identical roles, US and Russian sensors are so different looking.

Nice.

Shame they’re only building 3 of them... and their focus isn’t really on ASuW anyway.

Uh, US defense costs are actually mostly driven by high personnel costs.

Most predictable response ever, LOL

I keep saying this. The Russian and American people really do have a lot in common.

I must say, your English insults are very interesting.

Um... they DIDN’T use force. Yanukovich fled because he couldn’t handle the massive protests.

You kill enough people, you’re going to kill some bad guys eventually.

Yeah, no. That’s not at all how Al Jazeera works, and definitely not how AJAM worked.

Still don’t really understand how Russians keep explaining away Khruschev giving Crimea to Ukraine. What, did the Soviet premier not have the authority to do so? If so, why didn’t anyone stop him?

I only read RFK Jr. when I want to learn how vaccines cause Autism and other dumb conspiracies

Again, I don’t think anybody is denying that there are some neo-Nazis supporting Poroshenko. The point is that a few minor players do not a coup make. The vast majority of people on the Maidan who took part in anti-Yanukovich protests hate the neo-Nazis and had nothing to do with them. Yet, Kremlin media fixates…

Plutoligarchy? Combination of plutocracy and oligarchy?

Oh snap.

When you’re bombing a military base, you can be pretty certain you’re going to kill few, if any, civilians, too.

Pro tip: when accusing someone else of being “stupid and uneducated”, be sure you’re using punctuation properly. That should be a comma, not a semicolon. Now go back to your car porn and let the adults debate politics.

I love how it’s always the morons that make comments like these. Yeah, I’M the “stupid and uneducated one”, even though I’m not the one supporting a fascist, racist, anti-democratic, anti-free speech, draft dodger candidate with no real plans, no real experience, and no real campaign message except promising the moon…
