Show of force with B52 and Ukraine/Russia and crickets?

Really?


Is this thing on?

:cricket:

Maybe it wants to now after the strong buildup army is going to retreat.

Bet it wont hit anything...if it would ever wanted too l:

It hasn't retreated yet.


Fake retreats are a thing.

Oh...but they do retreat and the ukraine army went on ?

Doom off.

I don't think it is going to hit anything.

I think it is the world's dumbest "show of force" though and that this does have the potential to backfire bigtime.


Vlad doesn't handle direct threats well.


Neither do I, I guess.


We have that in common.



Neither one of us us Jesus Christ.

Not one Russian troop has left yet.

Oh but besides the ukraine russia has like 300 km of black sea shore lines above georgia...

Altough the funny one was actually the ukraine as navy base on friendly ground l:

Ummm...B52 being sent to Ukaine and you say doom off?


At least explain.



Explain it to me like I was five.

Ok Olaf. Enough.

Military protecting biden’s Ukraine Cash Cow.

He can't.

Ok, good news?

Over Bulgaria now.

Guessing game: is it headed to Black Sea or not?

Odd way to the Persian Gulf.


They generally go over the Med

Border of Greece now.

The plane is not currently broadcasting on ads-b


It has gone "dark".

It's back. Still heading south.

One B-52 is not exactly a declaration of war.

The US and Russia often fly a strategic bomber or 2 up to the other's air intercept boundary.

Doesn't mean much.

Let's send a 1950s era bomber to Ukraine to scare the Russians. I just hope there are no MiG-15s in the area that could shoot it down.

Russia is the enemy


China, is just a friendly competitor

Its over southern Greece
