[RIA] Journalists from the influential and well-informed publication Foreign Policy revealed a curious conflict between the Pentagon and the US Congress. Officially, this confrontation is denied by both sides, the squabbling takes place only on the sidelines. However, the magazine spoke to high-ranking military officials and a number of legislators. On condition of anonymity, they told a lot of interesting things.

#12  The latest B-21 Raider strategic bomber has just been presented with pomp . By 2027, at least 149 such "birds" capable of delivering nuclear bombs to the other side of the planet should be built.

The author has a lot more confidence in our procurement program than I do.

#9  re#3: So I've heard, Brick. If true, we'd better dust off the one for war with Canada. Operation DesertIce Storm, I think it was. Can't have a commie state on the border.

#6  "The whole aim of politics is to keep the populace alarmed (hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with endless series of hobgoblins, almost all imaginary"

#4  I don't think the entire US should go to war with Russia. The way Russian army has been fighting in Ukraine, just send in the state of Rhode Island.

#3  This is misleading. We plan FULL SCALE wars with EVERYONE on the planet. The plans get made, shoved in a file and stored away. Heck, we probably have 200 different plans for Russia. That doesn't mean we're about to use them.


Trying to scare people again.

#1  Better to le them destroy themselves in Ukraine.

Low birthrate combined with grinding away a young generation of men means Russia will be unrecognizable before long
