So now we're down to "my dad is tougher than your dad". Good grief.

I thought it was a moose Antler

Quite the contrary pal, I'd say you have your head up your a@#

Oooh, what an original comeback.

Here's some more for you to feast on. Vicky Nudelman (that's her real last name before her grandparents who immigrated from Ukraine-- I love when people get top U.S government jobs to settle old family grievances-- changed it to Nuland) and other members of the minions want to start a "second front" in country of Georgia at the back end of the Black Sea. Georgia was a languishing backwater Ottoman Turk province before the Russian tsar government took it a couple hundred years ago and set it up as part of their empire. Stalin was the Georgian by the way.

Anyway, Vicky and crew think the U.S.should set up a military base in Georgia to deter the old Rus.

Meanwhile, some recent "parliamentary discussion" in Georgia. Another clown world...

Read history carefully, at least since 2014. maybe then you will understand who carried out this coup, who sponsored it and what goals were pursued. many questions will immediately disappear.

Or maybe you don't know how many NATO mercenaries are now fighting against Russia.

I heard on Fox News just the other day, some big US military muck-a-muck say that the west wants to "dismantle Russia". That sounds pretty aggressive I'd say.

The military types are not happy that they never got to go toe-to-toe with the former USSR, they've been itching for a fight for 50 years.

Now the western financial elite and their One World government tyrants see an opportunity to make a grab for Russia and it's vast resources. Combine this and a bunch of old generals and their military industrial cronies, and you have the makings for an aggressive war against Russia.

So.....Ukraine wasn't behaving itself before Russia invited itself to take over their neighbor ?

Not really; along with clandestine help from the west.
It's pretty easy to learn the history if you want to take the time.

Far eastern Ukraine is populated about 2/3 by Russians. Zelensky has been punishing them for years for not voting for him. It is in big part the Ukrainian military who is obliterating the cities and villages in eastern Ukraine. A sort of ethnic cleansing.

I laugh when I hear our politicians (Democrat and republican) refer to Ukraine as a "free, democratic country", how can they be that ignorant; it's a little scary.

Russia sucks. They can't beat a small country like Ukraine that has the backing of the US . Ukraine will prevail and most likely Putin will go the same route of Hitler and Mousolini. China will most likely change their tune in the next year and start kissing our behind because they need our trailer dwellers to buy their cheap crap at Walmart to sustain their economy.

This is the bottom line.The true fact of the matter-nothing else.

So, just how does a jet knock out the propeller in the Reaper? The prop is on the back of the aircraft and pretty well protected by the vertical stabilizers. It would take some very, very good flying to hit it from the side. The reaper has a turboprop engine, dumping fuel on it would suck fuel into the engine intake and cause major damage to the engine, when that fuel ignited in the compressor stages or hit the burner cans, the engine would be shredded.

Too bad Tom Clancy is dead. He has his old enemy back to put in one of his books. Now Ukraine is the good guy though.

So you're not buying the story being pushed by some here that Putin did this out of the goodness of his heart as humanitarian work?

Me either.

He did what we would have done if he had flown a drone close to out exercises………3 years ago. lol

Are Russian citizens allowed to own guns in Russia?

Of course. We don't go hunting with bows.

wow, reading some of this stuff might lower an iq.

Actually they are. Rifles and shotguns,but no pistols. I guess every hunter in Russia has an old SKS or a Mosin Nagant. With the way they're taking 60 yr.old ancient tanks out of storage and out of museums to cover battlefield losses, makes me wonder if they will have a recall of civilian firearms.
England did that in the early dark days of WW2.
