UK authorized use of its long range missiles too. I wouldn't be surprised if there is an action it would be towards the UK, but I think/hope Putin has the patience to wait until Trump gets an office (if Trump akes it into office). At least in his speech he said he would go after the location specifically responsible for these supplying weapons (and the personnel managing those weapon) used against Russia, and stated that they would warn civilians just like Israel used to do. He believes there is no defense against the ICBMs like they used yesterday, so giving warning notice won't deter the effect other than reduce casualties. I guess that's somewhat reassuring and infers that nukes are much less likely.

Well, using ICBMs with conventional warheads is expensive…. And he sure as shit can’t afford to keep doing that.

However, Russia would be lying if they said that they hadn’t already been going after countries that have been supplying Ukraine weapons; they certainly have been attempting to influence our election and use a whole bunch of other methods related to cyber warfare and spying.

he’s already been doing things so to speak on our soil. He was doing so before he invaded Ukraine, and hes continued to do so.

Realistically, it doesn’t do anybody any good let him do whatever he wants, and unless he can get North Korea and China to invade South Korea and Taiwan immediately… It’s unlikely he’ll start World War III because he’ll get his ass kick kicked.

It’s not so much the supplying of weapons…..it’s the actual input targeting of those weapons.
 
johnson,a rare bird. have seen a very few at shows or in collections. my understanding is the usmc preferred it over m-1,but (?)

Not really… there are some good letters at the Roosevelt archive in Hyde Park between Roosevelt and the maker and Commandant Holcombe (and later Vandegrift) trying to get Roosevelt to push for the rifle that the Marines apparently didn’t want…. Or at least the commandants were suspicious of.

I have scans somewhere and think I posted them in Vintage among time ago… or maybe they were lost on Scout.

The adoption (or lack there of)was very political from what I gather…

I understand that. I really do.

What was that phrase? I saw written in German on the side of a World War II bunker in Germany in the 1980s?

“ People who build bunkers throw bombs.”

Putin has set himself up for all of this… he’s reaping what he sows. This was going to happen one way or another, it’s just that the timeline is accelerated due to him being foolish in the way that he went about it.

We would arrive at this place one way or another. In this case, it’s more on our terms than on his. I don’t really see a way that this could’ve been prevented in the long-term.

Hmmm, would this have happened if the alphabet hadn't been pulling the strings in the Ukraine government? The alphabet having 40+ biolabs in Ukraine? The USA under the guise of NATO encroaching the border of Russia? Ukraine had abided by the Minsk agreement?

Yeah, you're probably right. This couldn't have been avoided.
