U.S. Air Force Prepares To Receive New Nuclear Weapons

David Axe, National Interest: The Air Force Is Getting Ready To Receive New Nuclear Weapons

The command’s forces are capable of extinguishing essentially all life on Earth within a matter of hours.

Here's What You Need To Remember: Now the command is in the beginning of a modernization effort costing tens of billions of dollars. New B-21 stealth bombers are slated to supplant the B-1s and B-2s starting in the mid-2020s. The Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent rocket, a replacement for the 1960s-vintage Minuteman, is in development.

The U.S. Air Force’s nuclear command says it’s about to undergo a major reorganization as it prepares to field new bombs, missiles, bombers and rockets.

Air Force Global Strike Command stood up in 2009 as the successor to Strategic Air Command, which maintained around-the-clock nuclear alerts during the Cold War.

Oligarchs rule Russia. They are corrupt. They murder opposition candidates. Still Putin come across as sane and of good training. Maybe Putin and his system being what it is , is better at hiding dirt.

There was a diesel oil spill in Siberia. A tank collapsed, because the footing gave way, because the permafrost shifted. The manager of the site was arrested. No charges yet. I think it is rather unfair. The storage tank may have been built before that manager came on the scene, It may have been in operation for years. It may have been built to current standards. There may be a few hundred built to the same design on the same soil type. The photo of Putin questioning the accident was a photo op to be sure. Still Putin looked good. He is a trained lawyer and her came across ad calm and reasonable.

Like other politicians I bet he is more worried about if this spill will hurt the power structure more than the spill. but I bet he takes the steps necessary to make sure this even does not happen or less likely to happen.

I do not know if the press will cover the aftermath of this spill in the West, because they are more like gang bangers on a drive by shooting. I want to know what happens to the manager. What the engineering and management community does going forward. I would like to know how often the tank was inspected. I see the manager as culpable in the same way a captain of plane or ship is. I see the manager's higher ups as maybe culpable, because they might have cut staff. A mark I mod 1 eyeball can only detect so much.

Still I think the manager may get more justice than Derek Chauvin.

And now the point. Does Russia really want a crazy nation to have nukes?

Minneapolis dismantled the PD and they are not done yet. They are not done raging., They will rage as long , as often and for the same purposes as Mao even after they gain power.

If the 'tantrum kids' come to power will Moscow sleep soundly?

Think that the Left in the US does not cause sleepless nights in Moscow and elsewhere?

Violent ‘Protester’ Who Threatened to Burn Down New York City’s Diamond District Is a New York Attorney Connected to Nigerian Diamonds

"A peaceful protester made a threat on live TV to go down to the predominantly Jewish Diamond District in New York City with gasoline."

"The ‘protester’ who threatened to burn down the diamond district of New York City on live TV is an attorney with connections to Nigerian diamonds and other hooligans in New York City."



The Feckless Mother is not worried about the crazy left, which figures because her thought patterns are like a leaf in the wind.

Mind you he is not the only attourney to have gone rogue for fun or profit.


And little Leonard DiCaprio was so concerned that made the movie Blood Diamonds and got on his private jet spewing killing CO2 all over GAIA and to preach about it.

Did Israel Burns launder diamonds, so they would have the appropriate Leonard paperwork?
