Russian plans to station nuclear bombers in Cuba

it would also depend on which type of bomber was stationed in Cuba. If they station Bacfire, Blackjack, or blinders there it could mean a strick just as fast as an ICBM with much more stealth cutting the attack warnings down by about 20 minuts. Also they could fly over International airspace and use air launched missils to attack our country with less than 2 minuts warning to the president and the NCA.

None of this really matters America and the Russians both have nuclear submarine floating around the oceans. That could destroy the world with in seconds.

1962 all over again?

is strategic cooperation with the russians even a (realistic) possibility for the united states? this has all the potential makings of a cuban missile crisis part two.

It's time to watch the sky above our heads a little more closer.

The Cold war, frozen solid, may begin to thaw again. Will the clock to the end of the world be moved closer to midnight?

jebsus christ

Thats called TIT 4 TAT .....

That's called freaking crazy!! This damn missle shield probably won't work any way.

Man is more likely to be wiped out from a superbug last week

I think starting another cold war would be great for the economy and good for security so russia good police there hemisphere

well what did America expect you go to countries near Russia set up your own "missile defense" stuff set up your military might and you get all pissy when other countries do the same. ignorance pure ignorance. you already have warships at sea that could deflect any missle targeting the states but noo you had to go and ruffle feathers across the world. now that you have an even player you are concerned.

Oh man this sounds like a bad Hollywood sequel.

Hello Cuban Missile Crisis part Deux! The next stressful headache.

Just lovely... if this is going to really happen just please wait to put this in effect until after Bush is out of office...

Diabolical strategery. What a waste of time and money. People are such pathetically stupid creatures sometimes.

They must be planning to bomb all the Emos in Florida!

you know the the russians they gots to keep it interesting

Where's JFK when you need him?

bay of pigs anyone?

see right now i feel like slapping the american gov't in the face .... we set up nuclear launch sites right next door to russia nad when they do the same... the gov't gets pissy?

how the fuck does that work....

Russia has its problems/so does america and i dont think they want beef unless we want to shove it down there throats....

its the same cold war anymore and step back....

its true that Neo-Nazis are on the rise with abt 70,000 supporters but mainstream russia isnt very supportive and things like that are almost normal in that part of the hemisphere

*DING DING DING* Cold War Round 2

Hopefully Dana Perino won't be a as dimwitted about this as she was about the actual Cuban Missile Crisis, for instance she might actualy know that it exists.

hmmmm this could be just what we need. Didn't the "red scare" really unite the US back in the 50's? IDK I wasn't around then. BRB gonna go ask my dad...

Bombers are much easier to shoot down than missles. Even with bombers in Cuba they'd never make it to Florida. Why worry? Let them have thier bombers there. It's just about posturing.

I dont think this should surprise anyone and the fact that this is news on "non current" news mediums shouldnt raise any eyebrows either the news is slowly writing its own last will and testament with convenient politically timed recycled reminders like this one which is squarelly aimed to "shock the sheep" into the shearing area in time for the pending elections
or we are to beleive that nobody in america learns the version of history that they teach in the british education system or that by the time your old enough to vote you would have forgotten all those things that your history teacher was saying because your too busy getting your long term memory replaced by clips from reality tv and whimsical musings from Joel Mchale
lets be truly honest the russians never left cuba they never will and are you surprised last time I checked theres still a quantanamo bay Stronghold so why shouldnt other interests be allowed to protect their interest two words. MANIFEST DESTINY people need I say more and before anyone attacks me for being "anti american " I love america's ideals I dislike however the fact that everyone pretends to not understand what the real motivation is when history has shown us that righteous Indignation is interwoven into the fabric of the nation and any retreat from those values today would be unamerican.
