            So it’s impossible to say that the Yankees are doing poor technique, so many “minds” from around the world have sucked in themselves like a vacuum cleaner!
            If they don’t do anything, then they simply have a different concept of warfare.
            And so, they are the strongest army in the world and so far no one has proved the opposite, so we will assume!

    The situation is aggravating. Ukraine and Georgia want to join NATO, even taking into account violations of acceptance. In Poland and the Baltic countries, equipment and troops are being driven. To Japan fighters.
    IMHO (sofa) should be safe and make an official statement in the ultimatum - in order to ensure the safety of the World Cup and in case of provocation by and on the territory of neighboring states, the Russian troops will act immediately, including on the territory of neighboring, aggressive-minded states.

      This is all wrong. It is necessary to enter flight tasks in all carriers, mount a special warhead on everything that can carry them, and after that, to each ambassador of each mongrel to show photos of their missiles, this is yours, because you have an airfield with F22 and it will happen at this airport immediately, and this is yours, because you have missile defense systems at your base, and it will be there as soon as you jerk or we get tired (we can't) postpone the start. It is necessary, it is necessary to really crap out of fear. Until they settle down, they are not able to negotiate

    Nobody will take them to NATO. Ukraine would be taken with the Crimea, now no. No matter how the "situation escalates," the Americans will not attack until there is a chance of an answer, and it exists for many years.
    Okianava has existed for decades and doesn’t upset the + 14pcs of the 22nd (this is the Royal Page for red-headed pathos). Even if we consider the option of attacking the PRC: “Why did you need a“ plane to gain air superiority in this operation? ”F-18 against PRC maize
