I miss the Cold War. It was nice having a clearly defined enemy.

[Nesher 628]

i have a hard time to think something major could have happened....

maybe it just me ^_^

[DWCAce 19]

We should of let Patton do his thing when he had the chance....

[+Typhoid 231]

it certainly has been keeping us (NORAD) busy this summer.

 

Back to the good old days again!

 

[Nicholas Bell 117]

Now if someone were only working on a Bear model.....

[Redddevil911 0]

We had more jobs during the cold war!

[ezlead 42]

Do we still send the B-52's, B-1's and B-2's out to failsafe points?

If we do, the Russkies must be trying to do the same thing. Again.

What's next---Red October!!!

I personally wouldn't want to be a Bear crewman.

With the lookdown shootdown capability of todays fighters,a Bear wouldn't stand much of a chance.

Have number 2 do a visual ID flyby with lead sitting back a mile or two with a couple of AAMRAMS armed and ready.

Typhoons and Raptors and Bears,Oh My!!

...So what about the global war on gingernuts?? Make no mistake, gingers are plotting...

no

[eraser_tr 29]

If we sent B-2s out past failsafe points they wouldn't even know it

[ironroad 218]

Soo... after 16 years the Russian Bears did keep the red star humm...very interesting. Where is Dr. Strangelove?

[ironroad 218]

If we sent B-2s out past failsafe points they wouldn't even know it

 

If it was raining they would

[FastCargo 412]

If it was raining they would

 

Maybe a Block 10 model back in 1996. Not now.

Besides, it's pretty easy to fly OVER a rainstorm.

looks like russia might bring back the iron curtain. I dont think russia is as much out of the game as most people say. I think that they pose a very real threat even now after the colaps of the USSR

[Guest Tazkiller]

Real threat is South of of our own borders!!!!!!!!!!!!

Patton begged, bitched & cajoled the brass to let him go after the USSR after WW2. He even wanted the German military that was left (except maybe the hard-line nazis) to help. He always thought the USSR was a bigger problem than the Germans. For a "what-if" alt-history, read "A Damned Fine War" by Bill Yenne

Good stuff. In it, the Red Army attacks just after V-E day as the Allies are demobilizing or going to Japan. WW3 starts something like a month after WW2 ended.

 

And yeah, I miss the cold war, too.

Yup, whoever knew that History would take so little time repeating itself? Or is this the end of summer break for the Cold War? What was it, like, some 20 years ago that Gorby was rummaging in Glasnost? Oh the nostalgia...

 

But this time, let's make it more interesting, like a ménage à trois: the West, the Neo-Sovs, and China!

 

P.S.: But with sigs like the big ones around here, I'm sure that there's something to keep us warm during the new ice age... Where can I get one of those?

[JediMaster 451]

Well, Putin isn't Gorby or Yeltsin and Bush isn't Reagan or Clinton. That's all it really takes to change things around.

[TX3RN0BILL 3]

Yeah, both Yeltsin's and Clinton's successors are more trigger-happy than the people they replaced...

Plain stupid, and who's the F@g ? is he "other" gay guy from brokeback ? Or is he in the sequel ?

And you have to press 1 for english because a large portion of the population speaks spanish, and it can be kinda hard to learn a new language at 80 like my grandparents (hey its still the default don't complain)
