Which reminds me of an Alien invasion novel where the Aliens misread our culture, and assumed the big cities were the Masters and the countryside was servant class. They killed most of the lawyers and bureaucrats and then got a big surprise.

Not a scenario I want to experience, mind you, but amusing in a book.

I agree, Puget Sound, the Navel Yard would certainly be a target. A big one, a priority even.

That said I don't think it would be the Very First Target as Tp suggested it might be.

And since we are playing Nuclear War Games...

Any Nuclear Attack by Russia directly on the Continental U.S. plus Hawaii would be a massive one I'd think. Multiple targets, not one target only.

Now a strategic battlefield Nuc deployed by Russia against Ukraine, in which there are collateral U.S. losses, that is a more probable possibility.

Let's all pray that doesn't happen.

I've been saying since the "war" started, it was nothing but a money-laundering scheme for the Dems.

Pelosi
Schumer
0bama
Clinton
Biden.

With OUR DOLLARS.

THINK, people. THINK, and pay attention.

Apparently the accusations in the meme above are partly true. It seems many millions were stolen and "donated" to the Biden* Party by the now bankrupt company. The donations/bribes aren't in question. Who's Money was used, is. ( the answer seems to be, everyone who lost everything, except maybe SBF )

Money laundering through Ukraine? That's debatable, as Ukraine says they did cash in crypto currency donations from the many donations private citizens around the world gave to help.

Why they used FTX may be the subject of investigation, but "Joe* blackmailed Ukraine, Again" is my first guess/bet. So I also bet that won't get mentioned on MSNBC.

In bizarro world, yes. In the real world, Russian munitions accidentally detonated in Poland. People died. Consequences to follow. Let’s hope it’s not WWIII.

Almost never mentioned in history books about WW2 are the inadvertent casualties caused by anti aircraft artillery on the people they defend.

You shoot something up, and unless it's out of the atmosphere and going Mach 25+ sideways, it comes back down.

The sole exception I know of is the "manhole cover" above an underground nuclear test that breached the containment seals, that went up, and never came back. The high speed camera film showed it achieved planetary escape velocity, and is now in a Solar orbit.

Berlin, London, Yokahama, all suffered from a rain of metal, often with high explosive inside, descending at terminal velocity from high altitude.

Current speculation is the unfortunate folk in Poland were killed by a falling, expended, anti aircraft missile fired to try to stop the indiscriminate terror attacks by Putin's forces on innocent civilians.

Pray for the families, and the souls of the misguided.

I remember all the video of the Night Skyline of Baghdad during the opening of the Gulf War. All those lines of tracers arcing across the sky. My thought at the time was wow, that's a lot of bullets coming back down, I wonder how many are going to hit people...

How it can be terror attack if Putin protects Russia and attacks only the Ukrainian infrastructure feeds the nazi army? Stop spreading misinformation, Putin does not target Ukrainian civilians.

I'd joke about Russian maintenance, "had to go through 4 to get 5..." But little about that is a joke to the victims. Lots of victims, in multiple countries.

Striking Russian territory is a problematic move for the E.U. bureaucrats. They fear escalation, aka Putin deciding to missile attack Them.

But I noticed the Sea King ASW helicopters Britain is disposing of to Ukraine. That's a Very Capable ship killer, albeit focused on submarines. Subs are just ships that hide better. A Sea King has sonar & radar to detect and pinpoint enemy targets, ships specifically, and can drop torpedoes that can kill any ship, as well as send targeting info back to base. ( base in "normal" British use may be a missile equipped ship. ) Targets can be enemy ships or incoming missiles. The helicopters have the role as sensor as well as weapons platforms.

I doubt the Brits will give the Ukrainians modern torpedoes to go with the helicopters. That's a potential escalation.. I'd sure sink everything in the Russian Black Sea Fleet if I was Ukraine. And I'm sure Turkey would not mind a bit if they had that threat removed.

Torpedoes are expensive and complex, miniature high powered submarines.
But the speedboat drones the Ukrainians are making are better for targets in ports and at sea on the surface on a bang for the buck basis. I see no reason a long range helicopter with modern sensors and jamming gear ( designed to protect the helicopter and the ships it guards ) can't drop sea drones. Heck, they're using fishing boats now.

Going to be a very deadly winter.

That was likely Ukrainian rocket because of they are not qualified enough and do mistakes or they did this purposefully to blame Russia.

It looks like you are not aware of agreement Russia, Turkey and Ukraine have regarding the Black Sea. Which again leads me to the conclusion you have no idea what is really going on there and you are soaked with fake news and fake propaganda.

No, I'm aware of the treaties, but...

Yep, in that comment, I'm playing armchair general and I'm full of it. : )

I'd also like an orbital kinetic capability and try decapitation strikes, as a strategy for world domination.

If I was King.

But I don't actually want the job. : )

I'm hoping for a peaceful resolution and and end to conflict. I tend Jacksonian in my attitude on fighting, which begins with "Don't pick a fight".
