Coanda's dad

.. was a General, math prof, and Prime Minister. His career came to an end after an assassination attempt by a commie anarchist, Max Goldstein, who set up a bomb, using an unexploded German 76 mm artillery shell from World War I. Goldstein got caught, but the other mad bombers escaped to Russia, where they were eventually executed by Stalin during the Great Purge.

Coanda supporters maced

Name of the Holy Prophet Command

Planet Pepe getting ready to confront the Great and the Lesser Satan? Some operational details here and here. Now, I know Debka is not a very reliable source, but here they say that prime minister Vladimir Putin in his previous role as Russian president personally assured the US and Israeli governments more than once that he would never release the lethal S-300 missiles to Iran. Their acquisition would make an air attack on Iran's nuclear facilities extremely difficult and dangerous. Washington sources believe that the Kremlin is about to comply with Iran's request in order to turn the heat on the Obama administration for a final decision to waive plans to install an American missile shield in East Europe. Hmmm... Putin is playing hardball -- surprise, surprise. How's that bended knee going, Pepe?

Air Superiority



This was a rather disappointing story. More like a chest-thumping piece than decent critical analysis.
