A fleet of several bombers aimed directly at foreign airspace and paratroopers in combat action a few meters from the border.

The ways of Soviet Union returning.. Boroda care to comment on that?

An elite airborn division is stationed at Pskov since Soviet times. In Russian scale - it's right at the border of Latvia and Estonia. I think they are simply having regular planned excercises. Latvian and Estonian neo-nazi regimes simply try to attract attention as if they are in danger of invasion. They already received used M-14s from US surplus, now they probably need some ammo for free :D

1) We don't need anything that is left there, all they have is toxic smoked sprats.

2) If Russia was about to invade them - they'll know it 30 minutes after the invasion from a Red Banner on a Riga cathederal.

Did I tell you a story about NATO F-16s based in Estonia? The report was that F-16 can't reach it's top speed over Estonia. Guess why? The country is too small. :lol

Pskov Airborn Division is quite famous here, like 101 and 82 in the US.

Sure, I have an answer for any dumb question like that.

Sometimes I pity you.

Didn't you say that you have put me on ignore-list? I thought you did it because that way you couldn't feel your inferiority reading my posts... :rolleyes:

Before you put me back on ignore-list - can you tell me why you are Masherbrum? Himalaya? Alpinism? Masherbrum-II? Why not Nanga-Parbat?

Use google, you seem to use it effectively in "protecting the Motherland from the snivelling hands of the West".    I'm too lazy to put you back on ignore, because I drive an SUV and listen to Western Music, all while believing in Catholicism.

So you are not an alpinist. Shame. :(

Do you mean Country-Western music? Right now I am listening to T-Rex, a British band from the 70s. It's more fun for me then country-western.

I am an atheist with Orthodox roots. I have read the Bible and respect all religions, especially Black Faith of Mongols.

I'll ride Moscow underground drinking "skrewdriver" cocktail in 15 minutes, can you afford drinking while riding home from work? ;) Living in a city, not a village, has some pros...

Neg on Country music.  Country music died with Hank Sr.  I listen to Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Who, Beatles, T rex (Slider is Bolan's best work), and many other bands.  

I cannot drink and drive anywhere.  It isn't safe nor, something fun.  

My best friend that was going to climb Masherbrum was in a car accident in 1997.  He was already asked to be the best man in my wedding.  He was in a coma for a month, and with a shattered right ankle (that was almost amputated).   He was the one person I could trust in Alpinism, I walked away from it.  Now we do other stuff (backpacking, etc.).   He was able to stand in my wedding after learning to speak, and walk again.

I spent 15 weeks in Estonia setting up their TPS-117 Long Range Radar.  I also trained Estonian and Latvian personel on the operation and maintenance of the radar.  It pretty much sees whatever is going on over there.  Those two countries have little to worry about from Russia.

Boroda;

If I recall correctly, you said that you were a former USSR military officer.  If so, perhaps you could answer this.

Why is Russia spending 50% of it’s GDP on the military?  China is not going to attack you.  They are too busy becoming number one in telecommunications manufacturing.  The US is not stupid enough to follow Napoleon and Hitler on the Road to Moscow.  I know you have serious problems with the separatists down south, but geesus, 50%.
