Putin's Hypersonic Missiles Should be Announced by the West As Escalation

29. Again with the "hypersonic" missiles? It's nothing but Russian propaganda

If the past 4 weeks of watching the Russian military have taught us anything, it is what those of us who have served in the US Military know. They fucking suck, and wouldn't last a weekend if we brought our force to bare.

I swear, people must think that a US Carrier Battlegroup just sits there bobbing in the water. They are constantly moving, have a top speed in excess of 60 MPH, and nothing, absolutely nothing gets within 300 miles of a carrier without the carrier knowing about it, let alone shooting at it.

Even if you believe the Russian hype of 1 minute of warning, a carrier has the capability of moving and turning quickly. Within a minute, we could be a mile away from where we were, going 45 knots in a different direction.

Then, you have to consider, if they were stupid enough, crazy enough and lucky enough to not only launch at a carrier, but hit it, the response would be such overwhelming force that Russia would be left with a Navy purchased from the Sears Catalog.

If we were not concerned about escalating to a real war with Russia, we could make Ukraine, Russia and everything from Asia Minor to Taiwan a "No-Fly Zone" in about 6 days.

Putin might be insane, but the folks that would need to pull the trigger aren't.

Shoot at a US or Nato warship and the Russia we know would not longer exist.

In fact, I think the most likely outcome of this Russian action against Ukraine will most likely be regime change in Russia.
