The wife and I chuckled over the quoted paragraph...The rest of the article is bothersome.

Well if the Russian bombers fly over BERKELEY, California, a few miles from the coast, it's actually cool, they are prepared.

Got a big sign @ the City limits:


"Berkeley is a NUCLEAR FREE ZONE."

So the Russkie bombardier will look down at it and say".



"Uh-oh!

NYET!

We can't drop it *HERE* !!!!!"




Everything's good.

Don't worry about the bombers. Worry about how many air-launched cruise missiles they can squirt out before being shot down in flames.

No problem. With the rapidly strengthening military Obama is giving us, we can easily defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

You have pointed out the obvious solution. Compared to military defense, signage is cheaper than dirt. Make up one of these signs for every community in the US. Problem solved. I'm surprised that Jokin' Joe hasn't already thought of this.

Who's going to shoot them down and with what? This is a serious question. Forty years ago, all major metropolitan areas were surrounded with battery's of Nike Hercules surface to air missiles capable of taking out whole fleets of bombers with one round. Failing that, ARMED aircraft were at the ready to be airborne quickly.

What is there for such purposes now?

Who's call was it to let them get within 50 miles of our coast? Or was 49 miles his line in the sand?

So much of this has its beginnings in the not-so-distant past. Prior to WWII, had England and the United States made formal alliances with Germany, they could more easily have taken on the REAL problem children, the Ruskies. General George Patton understood it best and realized early on that Germany wasn't our enemy, RUSSIA was (and still is) the DARK empire. And now, because of all the Winston Churchill/FDR/Stalin Kissie face'n, we might be in for a lot of entertainment.

We'll call it: "From Russia with Love".
