Let me clarify, if the Goodyear blimp was pulled from mothballs and dropped on Kyiv, if Ukrainian wanted to call it an ICBM, I’m fine with that. When the Russians implies the exercise as a threat to the West, that they are really serious in responding to long range missiles being aimed at them and “The News” regurgitates that line, I say okay, maybe firing ping-pong balls from a ballistic missile might not be the best way of achieving you end.
Thanks Tom, the scare of Russian ICBM launch/strikes is for the consumption of the easily manipulated "emotional fear" people around the world. Looking for more updates from you and Don, etc and not of the "Russia is strong" easily frighthened people.
You seem to have a strong grasp of military affairs. You'd be best advised to stick to objective analysis of military backs-and-forths in the Ukraine theater and stop calling Putin or any other politician by derogatory names. It diminishes your otherwise fine analyses.
I am not 100-years old but perhaps the poor bastards who marched to their deaths in the killing fielsf of Belgium-France-Germany were as Manichean as folks are today. We all know what happened. Worse monsters were created and came to haunt us all.
So stop with the names and concentrate on your analysis--objective and to-the-point. Otherwise, why pay you?? NO?
New rockets blow up regularly on the launching pads of all countries which develop them.. I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from this. Obviously this one didn't blow up, did it?
NEXTA has written that Russia has not warned U.S. before using IRBM : "No, there have been no notifications, because Russia has no such obligation with regard to medium-range missiles," Peskov said.
Liars liars pants on fires! Gee whiz--PSU needs to do much better. This hurts my brain and their diminished reputation?
My gosh, the nuke was a scam. Who would have thought?

More political theater, dangerous of course, but political theater nonetheless. Geez.
Full credit for investigative journalism.

Sigh. But the freakout goes on. And on. And on. Why is it a crime to slap stupid people?
Thanks a ton, Tom, as always.
Cue: Hooray For Hollywood!

...but I wanted to be glowing in the dark already (stomps around in tirade)....

Considering his newest test ICBM blew up on the pad, pretty likely he doesn't have a huge pile of faith in the rocket forces.
