about the article: "2 Secret Weapons US Will Use in War versus Russia: Guided Bullet and Drone-Like Nuclear Bomber"

by Erik Pineda

I find this article very offensive, with its eager tone anticipating a nuclear war with Russia and how the US has some surprises, etc. How horrible it all is, and this so-called "journalist" needs to have their mouth washed out with soap, instead of promoting the idea that such a horrible event (that would represent the beginning of the end for modern civilization) is winnable.
Listen up Obama--the US people do not want war with Russia--nuclear or otherwise. Stop beating your stupid war drums.
