    Oh, is it that time of the month already?

    For anyone who doesn’t know, this stuff happens all the time. It’s extremely routine, to the point where it doesn’t even get press coverage most of the time.

    It’s not, like, good that Russia routinely tests NORAD response times. But it’s also not an indication of any sudden escalation. They’re just sampling data, like they always do.

      Yeah, the only time it gets press coverage is when they want to stoke fear to support war. Russia does it to us, we do it to them just as much. And same with China too.

    Good thing they’ve relocated most of the already overstretched and aging AWACS assets up in Alaska to the Middle East so we can get ready to bomb the shit out of Iran for no fucking reason 🙄

      Hey, look this is serious geopolitical stuff here, you don’t know what you are talking about. Iran was JUST ABOUT to develop nuclear weapons, they were hardly TWO WEEKS AWAY when we bombed them before, just barely saving democracy across the planet.

      No we are going to do it again, and Iran is going to be doubly as free as it was before!

    Wow. This is the most: “read more than the headline” article ive ever seen. So much so that this article is almost straight up fear mongering and nothing more. We are all dumber for having read the headline
