Well said. Sometimes people need to remember what’s important. Indeed, humane compassion and decency are far more important than just scoring ‘points’ in a blog’s comments section.

What are we getting out of this new stealth bomber? Longer range? Greater payload? Stealthier stealth?

Why would China lift a finger when it can always retaliate via trade and other macroeconomic means? Right now the yen is suddenly spiking in strength for some reason. Someone out there is buying a lot of yen, which doesn’t bode well for U.S. Treasuries and other mid- to high-risk assets in the stock market.

Dude, be careful — you’ll soon be accused of being a Putin troll on here, and Tyler’s gonna ban and/or delete your posts. Most people on this blog either don’t want to hear the truth, or they’re being paid to suppress it.

The most memorable thing about the B-2 bomber is its $2 BILLION total program cost per plane. I can imagine Northrop’s gonna ask for even more with the next bomber bid.

That’s some post-apocalyptic shit right there. Thanks for making me laugh.

Ok, you win, Vin.

Ummm .... you ever been in the downwash of a helicopter’s main rotor? A balloon of any sort would have a better chance of winning a round at The Voice than a chance of getting close to a chopper.

Always knew those terrorist jihadists were dickheads.

For what’s really a handful of planes, the op tempo seems to be pretty high, at 60-90 sorties per day. I agree, it’d be so interesting to know what the serviceability rate is on those warplanes.

LOL and yet .... they have ISIS reeling, so much so those jihadist mercenaries have been shaving their flea-infested beards and fleeing, while the rest are pouting at cuts to their payroll since their paymasters like Saudi Arabia are going broke, while Qatar has been ordered by the White House to cut the funds else…

Russia’s not in the business of regime changes and forcing democracy on people “even if we have to kill y’all,” so it’s in no hurry to come up with hundreds of operational T-50 PAK FA jet fighters.

You’re gonna have to spell things out. I don’t think UncleWalty gets sarcasm too well.

Love the innovative thinking in the design. Does away with the need for missile launch silos and their wear and tear.

He’s referring to how a Buyan-M-class Russian missile boat with less than 1000-ton displacement has nearly as much firepower as an Arleigh Burke-class U.S. missile destroyer that displaces 10,000 tons.

Yeah I’m struck by that, too. Have you seen the firepower in the Kirov-class battlecruiser? It’s nearly enough to shut down the entire UK and French air forces if it were stationed in the English channel, as well as probably fight off the entire British Navy at the same time.

Geez, an LCS with actual fangs, and not puppy teeth. Go figure.

The Chechen rebellion is over, you know that right? They have a brutal Muslim strongman in place named Kadyrov, who’s even more thuggish and bloodthirsty than any Russian general. He now leads Chechnya with an iron fist, keeping the different Muslim groups in line.

Trained by Jordanian special forces, and loaded to the gills with weapons from U.S., Saudi and Qatari funding, aided by U.S. satellite and drone coverage, and with 10,000 armed mercenaries on their payroll, why not?

That’s some Ridley Scott shit right there.
