U.S. was aware of nukes. They had pictures from the sky of Russia building nuclear missiles in Cuba even though they lied about that.
Mobile Focsed beam EMP's. Can be used without needing to shoot down a plane or use violence. A way to enforce no fly zone without it appearing as an act of aggression.
Yeah. He can front it out but not only has he shot himself in the foot, he now has the gun aimed at his other foot and is threatening to shoot that too.
oh I guess you missed my message and not purposely ignored it because if make you look a Tool
I mean they have like the Baltic members of NATO?
The technology he is speaking of is nowhere near as ready or as directly capable as people think they are. An Electromagnetic Pulse is typically directionless, and usually works on area of effect (AOE) deployments. They are better used in taking out communication systems and cities than moving vehicles unless they can time the AOE to work within the moment its in range. That also said reaching the AOE needed to take down a plane would take out literally everything else on the battlefield for a long ass range which while some military tech is shielded against I cannot say without certainty everything will be shielded against it for both sides and the civilians involved.
The U.S. was very much aware of the missiles, down to their exact location and number thanks to spy plane pictures. That’s the whole reason behind forming EXCOMM - they knew what was going on. We narrowly avoided disaster considering the first piece of advice Kennedy received was tactical strikes on Cuban soil - the president opted for a more diplomatic approach and formed a naval quarantine zone, which was really a blockade in everything but the name, intercepting any offensive weaponry heading in the direction of Cuba. The blockade was only lifted once all Russian offensive capability was removed from the island. In exchange, the U.S. government removed their sites from Turkey and Italy, and everyone walked away from the table happy, showcasing Kennedy’s excellent diplomatic skills and saving us from what could’ve been a nuclear exchange on both fronts. Sounds like a pretty nice guy to me - no wonder he got assassinated.
I feel dirty being on the same political side with fox on this....... AHHH nothing brings the World together like the Common Hatred of Putin
Gotta love how real truth comes to light once again every decades. How the US CIA built a Democratic Party in Chile, and original plans where Chile would become Socialist as 'democracy would slowly end' and Democracia Cristiana, PPD political parties had to execute these plans at all costs.
I don’t like Democrats, but Kennedy was alright. Smart man, that’s dangerous in the world of politics, especially during the Cold War.
No, please no. I understand that scientifically may be possible, but if a nuclear missile fly over Ukraine, nobody on the other side will think a split second before pushing the button.
The Russian government was absolutely stupid to bank on foreign assets. However, the Russian economy might not be hit as hard by the devaluation as countries like Germany. Besides having cell phones, a somewhat significant part of the population lives pretty excluded in rural areas (often without plumbing or highways). A superior way to live in the event of a global crisis.
Mmmmm, I wouldn't say that now, war is never the answer. It shouldn't be, but sometimes it is, like when a certain german dictator decided to start a second world war? Would some agree war against him was the answer?
doubt that... You really Believe EU is going to go "ok Russia you get KYIV.. you win... we can restart... "
Looking in retrospect (and that's unfair, because decisions can't be made in retrospect). The conflicts that lead to the first world war could be solved without a total war, that way I believe, Germany would never have political environment for the rise of the Austrian Painter.
