Russia & Ukraine...the drums of war are getting louder

U.S. and its allies plan to provide Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets​

That's a huge mistake.
 
I must wonder if our own CIA is behind some of the attacks as well. I just feel strongly like Biden's handlers are trying to get the USA into a direct conflict with Russia so it will directly help his re-election chances. There's a lot on the line and "if" Russia starts using nukes, we'll all be affected. I suppose, the State Department, along with the CIA and President have every "nuke" scenario worked out, but still, it won't be a senator's son sent off to war, it'll be everyone else's. I just wonder if its time to stock up on dried beans and Ramen noodles yet? Stay tuned.

It's best to be well stocked on dried beans, rice, pasta and Ramen at all times. Never wait until everyone else goes shopping.

I heard someone say the rockets of the nukes are so old now they might not even work.

Two articles/blogs here speaks to that.

Since neither of these authors are experts, what they say is conjecture. I think I'll start a blog site where I make stuff up like this. All these conspiracy fanatics reading it would give it a lot of hits, which draws advertising and makes me money. I'm all for that.

Welp ..... There's One Way To Find Out !!

Now, where did I put those launch codes ??

They have tests they do to make sure the rockets will work. The last thing they want is for a nuclear missile to be unable to launch from an underground silo. I had a friend in the Air Force stationed at one of these sites in North Dakota.
Someone commented that the Russian ones might have been carnage for metal to sell like their subs were, way back when Russia was not paying their military.

I thought most of these were being stock piled under Regean... That was a long time ago. Rubber and gaskets degrade over time. I just wonder how viable they are, and hope we never find out.

My wife's nephew works in the silo's while in the Air Force, and he told us that they randomly select a silo every 18 months or so and remove the warhead, drain any fuel in it then take the thing to Vandenberg AFB where they test fire it. The guys that worked there could go watch their baby go up in the air and then ride back to the silo with their new baby. They have regular maintenance they do all of the time, much of which is quite dangerous.

As of 2021, 400 Minutemen III ICBM missiles were spread among 450 operational launchers. Intermediate-distance nuclear weapons were eliminated from our stockpile during the Reagan administration.

As of September 2020, the U.S. stockpile of nuclear warheads consisted of 3,750 warheads. This number represents an approximate 88 percent reduction in the stockpile from its maximum (31,255) at the end of fiscal year 1967, and an approximate 83 percent reduction from its level (22,217) when the Berlin Wall fell in late 1989. The below figure shows the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile from 1945 through September 30, 2020.

From fiscal years 1994 through 2020, the United States dismantled 11,683 nuclear warheads. Since September 30, 2017, the United States has dismantled 711 nuclear warheads. Approximately 2,000 additional nuclear warheads are currently retired and awaiting dismantlement.

Good info.

I can't say I would be pleased if my nephew were draining any fuel from a nuclear war head.

However, I am glad they are tested, and I can see it being fun to test fire it.

Wow 31,255 warheads at the peak. I would not have thought it was that many.

They don't drain the fuel from the warhead, they drain the rocket propellants from the rocket for shipping. The idea being that once it arrives at Vandenberg, they install a dummy warhead, fill it with rocket fuel and program it to head to the test range. Everything else should be in working order,,, if not, someones butt goes in the meat grinder.

Question, before they do the test fire... the 18 months before it is tested. Is the nuclear warhead on the rocket?

Or is the nuclear part loaded on the rocket once The Big Guy pushes the button thinking he is summoning Pudding?

The warhead is on the rocket whenever it's in the silo. 35-40 years ago a missile blew up in a silo in Alabama, it blew the warhead right through the concrete cover. That destroyed the warhead, but there was no radioactive leakage,,, they are really stout. In the old days they would store the fuel away from the rocket, then put just enough fuel in it to get to the target. Now they use hypergolic fuels stored in the rocket while it is in the ready state with enough onboard to reach it's maximum range, and fly it all the way into the target.
 
Silly ole Lindsay.


The notion of "bi-partisan support" is broached with Graham applauding, saying that US efforts in Ukraine are "The best money we've ever spent." Congress approved over $113 billion in funds to Ukraine in 2022 alone, and around 60% of that was directed into Ukraine's military.”

It sounds like Graham is making money off the deal.
