Showing Original Post only (View all)Short of a nuclear weapon, what can Putin do to us??? He's got nuthin' right? [View all]
Some people seem to think it's a black and white situation. We fly CAP over Ukraine and launch cruise missiles targeting Russian supply routes.
"What's Putin going to do, nuke us?"
The moment the US starts killing Russian soldiers... the floodgates open.
Remember the Moskva? And those Neptune missiles that struck it going around 650mph?
Well the Russians have Anti-ship missiles that travel Mach 10. They're barely detectable and certainly unstoppable.
Some Russian subs are equipped with them right now. As in... RIGHT NOW.
It doesn't take a military genius to acknowledge that RIGHT NOW there are Russian subs shadowing US carrier groups around the world.
That's a given. There are Zircon hypersonic ASM's in firing range (1000km) of the USS Harry S. Truman in the Mediterranean RIGHT NOW.
So when the US launches attacks... 5000 US sailors die.
Think long and hard when your heart and emotions get out in front of your head.
