Appears that the HQ of the Russian Black Sea fleet in downtown Sevastopol—supposedly one of the most well-defended pieces of real estate in Crimea—has been hit by a Ukrainian long-range missile and subsequently burned to the ground.

Russian Air defence has a poor success rate against modern cruise missiles like storm shadow. Patriot batteries have shown themselves to be far far better than S300's

There’s reportedly a dead Russian Admiral to go along with all of the dead Russian Generals now!

 

[lecoqsportif]

At least two missiles, eh.

Yes, but air defence shot down the first 312 missiles.

There's no escalation left aside from nukes.

which is, and has always been the big deterrent…Obama being somewhat soft on Russia, is because of Nukes…….and Russian troops entering Ukraine is all over within a week if Putin didn’t have that “mad man with Nukes” card in his back pocket, imo.

“Knowing” they aren’t going there….and being 100% positive they won’t. Are two very different things.


Russia & North Korea are different countries with different leaders by now, if that micro possibility of their use, wasn’t an option. imo.

plus they've been using the s-300s as offensive weapons cause of their shortage of other rockets. dunno how that's impacted air defence but proof is in the pudding?

Obama's greatest failures were his foreign policy. Noodle soft. Overcooked noodle*

I thought it was him trusting republicans to be any type of partner to him

 

[lecoqsportif]

He should have put the heads of bank CEOs on spikes during/after the financial crisis.

I’ll never understand how all you guys so easily overlook the tan suit.

 

[Stinky]

Tan suits are hot.

I tuned Obama out after his Dijon mustard misstep

 

[zeke]

salutegate was the last straw.

I thought for sure it was going to make Japan rise up and rape him and all Americans.
