    Following on from General Stanley McChrystals public remarks that earned him the boot,Now the top Admiral from NORAD has seriously pis*ed off the Russians!
    The cold War will never really end in at least Military minds it seems!
    *wonders to self if the Chinese have developed a truth serum they are getting into America's top brass brains;)*

    I bet Putin is working on revenge for that one as i type!:)

    Seriously don't people think it strange that some infringements of US/Canada airspace by nucleur capable Russian jets are not being responded to,even on the basis that it could be a half crazed pilot out of control?

    I think you've been watching Dr Strangelove a bit too much :p

    The comments by the US Admiral are a bit provocative but tbh anything that keeps the awesome TU-95 flying is a good thing.
