So, what thinkest thou if Russia did start something with Sweden? Sweden could be overwhelmed on the ground, in the air and on the water.

C'mon, anyone who knows anything about Jeeps would immediately think of the SRT8 Cherokee. That is certainly what I immediately thought. Jeep is more than just Wranglers...

Let's get serious. It was Vladimir and his rifle that did the damage:

A honey of a story if ever I heard one...

If I were stupid rich, I would just buy one to just ogle. Never ride it. Only behold its magnificence. It would be on a revolving table right in the middle of my living room.

All of us had some type of epiphany when it came to falling in love with cars. Mine was a combination of 3 things: An Aurora road racing set with Stirling Moss on the box, seeing pictures of Shelby Cobras and Ford GTs and my best friend's dad and mom who were tight with Jim Hall of Chaparral. In 1965, I was 13 years…

Just for giggles, I wonder what Sweden would have done had they actually found a Russian sub in their waters? Would they have used depth charges or a surface to underwater missile to destroy it? The Swedish military has always been a paradox to me. On the one hand, Sweden has been a neutral country for a very long…

Look closely and you will see the same image in this grilled cheese sandwich:

Given the issues surrounding the F35, isn't it prudent to keep the A10 flying until the F35 has been in service long enough to work out all the bugs? There is still a need for a rugged plane like the Thunderbolt to support ground forces. Despite the fact that it is ugly and not supersonic should not mitigate against…

This is news? I am amazed that people are finally realizing this. Look, Bernie cared little about any of us when he took over the Brabham team in 1972 or when he took over FOCA in 1978. As long as the sport grew and prospered, nobody gave a whit about what Bernie did nor how he felt about everyone else. The only…

Agreed. If they penetrate our airspace like within 2 miles of what is considered internationally as a nation's airspace, then let the chips fall where they may. I am sure many still remember the KAL airliner shot down by the Soviets. So, if Russia wants to fly in the Gulf, then let them. But, if they violate U.S.…

Are the Russians going to bomb them? The Russians also have vulnerable oil platforms, so I don't see the security risk. But, to ask the question again, what would happen if the U.S. just ignored the Russian bombers?

Spot on!

Hence my comment that I am old fashioned and square. Maybe out of touch with this generation, but not with eternal truth.

Call me old fashioned and even square, but this is just plain stealing. Just as bad, it is coveting. Stealing is against the 8th commandment and coveting is against the 10th commandment. Seizing property because of a wish list makes those law enforcement officials guilty of robbery. What in the world has happened to…

I know this may sound incredibly naive and even stupid, but what would happen if the U.S. just ignored these flights in the Gulf? Suppose no fighters were sent up to intercept and escort and instead, the Russian planes were allowed to go merrily on their way. Wouldn't that diffuse tension between the two countries? Is…

Aw hell, let's just ban everything, because there is probably something bad or negative in everything we eat, drink or do. Ban fast food advertising. Ban energy drink advertising. Ban air travel and car advertising because they pollute. I don't even drink alcohol, but I find these bans to be draconian. If anyone dares…

For a guy who proclaimed change and hope, Obama seems more comfortable these days creating tension. Putin exudes decisiveness while Obama oozes fecklessness. I can't stand either leader and I am concerned about the way things are going between Russia and the U.S.

One of the most insightful posts I have read in a long time. Obama simply looked like Putin's lackey. While I am no fan of Putin, he projects strength in his comments and is decisive. Our Prez is feckless and and usually sounds insipid when speaking.

The F16 looks positively dated next to that Su-34. The Sukhoi design bureau seems to always turn out beautiful fighters.
