Thumbs down Another Test of The USA

Here is a link to a news story. If this becomes true, it will be yet another infraction of the Monroe Doctrine.
President Kennedy will roll over in his grave if Big O allows this to happen.

Independent military analyst Alexander Golts said from a strategic point of view there was nothing for Russia to gain from basing long-range craft within relatively short range of U.S. shores.


This makes me wonder who has, if anyone, developed stealth technology?

If this comes into play, it will mean that or defences will have to be strengthened to defend against it. As of now we can track where most other aircraft are. But these will be playing in our back yard. Very short distance for them to go to drop a cargo. It makes us much more vulnerable than ever before. From the time we could determine a threat, to the time they are over our shores, will be to short to respond.

We can detect them before they reach our shores absolutely, but wouldn't they be warned that they are approaching US air space? At that time I would think they would need to turn around or make some sort of course adjustment or suffer the consequences.

Looks like a good time to cut defense spending.

Lets just all face it. this guy is going to do more damage to our country than all the terrorists could have hoped for. every time he opens his mouth or signs off on something we are being compromised.
