Meanwhile, as Santa crosses air space toward Poland, a recently activated AEGIS system fires a standard missile III. Santa, deploying countermeasures, engages his recently acquired Russian nuclear cruise system. The resulting nuclear incident is denied by both the Russian Federation and the United States. Mrs Claus is not amused....
 
Historical question - why was the P-38 so successful but the Me-110 such a flop?

I'm no expert but my impression is that the '38 was designed about 5-7 years after the 110; that's a lot of time in "technological progress" time. Also, the 38 was a single-seater built solely as a fighter/interceptor. The 110 was designed as a fighter-bomber and required 2 or 3 crewmen as I recall. I thought it had a bomb bay, but I can't find anything on that.

The 38 had more power with its' turbo'd superchargers, and twin booms certainly gave it more structural stability and better maneuverability.

Name one conflict where the UN has disarmed anyone??? Go ahead I'll wait...

Given that it’s common knowledge that there is a “rifle behind every blade of grass” in this country you would wonder who would be stupid enough to put on a blue helmet and go to places like, Virginia, Texas, Arizona or Montana to confiscate guns.

There isn’t enough money they could pay anyone who wants to stay alive for that type of job.

Well, the blue helmets would really help with identifying the enemy.
I would expect their survival rate to be ZERO.
