You still haven't provided a link to prove that the US announced "nuclear capable" bombers were being sent to the UK. We know the B-52s are nuclear capable but the government never mentioned it in the deployment press release as you claimed. And as has just been pointed out to me the B-1 is not nuclear capable. So Putin can deploy his military but we can't?

Good:

• Biden has made it clear that he plans to take a much harder stand against Russia than his predecessor, President Donald Trump 
• 'The days of the United States rolling over in the face of Russia's aggressive actions ...are over,' Biden said Thursday in a speech at the State Department

This is how good ours is. The Russian one won't be far off. Other Aircraft have this IRST system also. As it says in the article, this is 2011 tech

AN/AAQ-37

Two AN/AAQ-37 sensors just below the canopy, above the nose. Below the nose, the electro-optical targeting system

The AN/AAQ-37 Electro-optical Distributed Aperture System (DAS) is the first of a new generation of sensor systems being fielded on the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. DAS consists of six high-resolution infrared sensors mounted around the F-35's airframe in such a way as to provide unobstructed spherical (4π steradian) coverage and functions around the aircraft without any pilot input or aiming required.^[1]

The DAS provides three basic categories of functions in every direction simultaneously:^[2]

• Missile detection and tracking (including launch point detection and countermeasure cueing)^[3]
• Aircraft detection and tracking (situational awareness IRST and air-to-air weapons cueing)
• Imagery for cockpit displays and pilot night vision (imagery displayed onto the helmet mounted display)

The F-35's DAS was flown in military operational exercises in 2011,^[4] has demonstrated the ability to detect and track ballistic missiles to ranges exceeding 800 miles (1,300 km),^[5] and has also demonstrated the ability to detect and track multiple small suborbital rockets simultaneously in flight.^[6] The AN/AAQ-37 DAS is designed and produced by Northrop Grumman. The current sensors used in the system may have insufficient night acuity for pilots used to flying with night vision goggles (NVG), and are therefore augmented by an embedded NVG camera in the helmet.^[7] A DAS test system has also been used to track tank gun firing, but this is "not an F-35 requirement".^[8]

Still gives no reason to believe that it can easily acquire a B-2. Missiles have a huge heat plume coming out the back and tank guns out the front.

Would you check the distance between Alaska and Yamal first? Russian supersonic bombers will be there first. Actually got standoff weapons which cover this whole distance, too. Unlike you. All of which remains a theory, because you've got but a single suitable airstrip in all of Alaska.

Alaska has two airfields and  oil has dwindled down to 25% of pipeline capacity,10% of the Permian Basin in New Mexico and Texas.  .Yamal has oil/gas reserves and a comparable strike would be the Permian that you would need fly another 9000 km to get there. Your TU-160's are 2000km short on fuel in a one way kamikaze run even refueling over Alaska and throttling back to 580mph over Canada and the US. That is easy pickings even for our Obsolete F106 if they got past the Canadian F-18E.  Tu 22 can't hope to even reach Alaska much less New Mexico or Texas.

 Second El Gato,  The B-1B electronics is now Block F which means it has the newest electronics package in the AF; just like Air Force 1 and newer than the B-2.

Infra Red Detection range varies with external factors such as

• clouds
• altitude
• air temperature
• target's attitude
• target's speed

The higher the altitude, the less dense the atmosphere and the less infrared radiation it absorbs - especially at longer wavelengths. The effect of reduction in friction between air and aircraft does not compensate the better transmission of infrared radiation. Therefore, infrared detection ranges are longer at high altitudes.

And worthless against Nape of the earth.   Unless you have a plane at altitude carrying look down shoot down radar and  with  flashing neon signs saying shoot me down, you are not going to be able to spot aircraft flying NAE with a plane carrying IRST.  Its life expectancy can be measured with a stop watch.

You obviously didnt read the article!

"One common defense which sometimes does reinforce top armor is explosive-reactive armor (ERA), a layer of explosive bricks covering a tank intended to prematurely detonate the shaped charges used by missiles.

However, the Javelin has a tandem charge warhead designed to defeat ERA using a ‘precursor’ charge at the front of the warhead to take out the local ERA brick, blasting open a gap through which the main warhead can hit the tank’s conventional armor."

I wouldnt fancy being in that Russian tank much!

Might get a bit hot!

Far worse in a fuel truck; they explode and burn. As we learned in Iraq in 2003 , if you wipe out a fuel convoy, your tanks are sitting ducks until another convoy arrives safely.

Sounds like a plan.  Let's go for it.

Ukraine is a corrupt nation that has paid BIDEN family millions and squashed an investigation into Hunter.

Europe could care less if Putin takes the pro Russian oblasts in the eastern Ukraine. If Europe doesn't care why should I.S. ?

This is not 1980. Your Democrat Party is living in the past.  There is an economic war going on and the U.S. is losing.  Big time.  I have to hand it to you the U.S. is the most "Woke" country with a very "woke" military.  LOL.

Biden administration didn't care either until that knucklehead said on National TV that " .  .  .  a minor incursion was acceptable, then we decide what to do"

Why is your U.S wasting  time on Ukraine.  Ukraine is a corrupt  country that is one step up from a third world country.

Is it a diversion from this current administration first year Presidency.

Reminds me of Clinton in 1998 when he blew up a baby formula and malaria drug factory with 14 Minuteman missiles (did he really need 14) to distract from his troubles.  Now Biden positions nuclear capable bombers in Britain. Really ?  The guy is nuts.

Just one airstrip suitable for bombers and large transport planes. Which is less than what Russia got in Chukotka right next to Alaska and elsewhere much closer than Yamal.

USA got involved in WW2 much before pearl harbour in terms of assisting UK against Germany. Also, in WW1 there was no pearl harbour and yet USA intervened. So, there is very little to suggest that "united American" population has anything to do with anything. USA simply has the highest amount of oil production which is keeping its economy afloat. Even WW1 & WW2 were won because of enormous oil powered war machinery from USA. Without oil driven economy, USA is a big zero.

Yes, Mexico won't go against USA due to NAFTA and other benefits. But there are still many countries like Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela who have a strong anti-USA sentiment and whose main source of problem also arises from USA. Venezuela is already making the rounds to Russia, China, India, Middle east etc rallying support against USA sanctions. GCC even refused to allow USA to impose financial/secondary sanctions against Venezuela. Venezuela also armed its people to create a militia force in case of USA invasion. So, there are a lot many options for Russia to arm USA neighbours.

Rapidly warming up? Are you serious? Do you have any ground data to suggest this? Don't talk about some glaciers breaking off as that is a normal phenomena to maintain balance. As more snow gets deposited, they become heavy and extend to non polar warm regions, leading to some parts of the snow/glacier to break off. If no glaciers broke off in last 1000 years, then the glaciers would have been covering most of the sea water by now, leading to massive shortage of rain and fresh water supply to land. Nothing exists to give any basis for rapidly warming up of arctic.
