Yes, Kevlar helmets only are for preparing veggie salads.

US President Joe Biden made a telling statement during his press conference on Wednesday, suggesting that a small-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine might not lead NATO to respond with full force. This is in stark contrast to previous guarantees from Brussels to Kiev.

Anybody who claims to have made soup or salad in the old M1 steel helmet is either lying or stupid enough to cook food on something covered with thick lead based paint. Anything made in it would taste just awful and not to mention probably be tinged green! Yech!

Of course they got the old ones from those famous times back then, after all they already know 'em well.

It's up to the Russians now-How will Putin react to the note send by Blinken.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the proposal offers "a serious diplomatic path forward, should Russia choose it".

I hope Russia choose peace.

Why not- NATO is expanding Eastward so why shouldn't Russia have the same right in Latin America

Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua to develop partnerships in a range of areas, including stepping up military collaboration, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has announced.

Those S-400s are said to be nasty even for stealthed airplanes. They will be able to track the fioghters in many phases of flight and the longer they can do that the more informaiton they will gather about possible weaknesses of these aircraft. In a serious missile deplaoyment with all the systems radars set up on ground, I think it is the more serious threat to an F-35 the closer the plane is to the radare. And these radars can reach out quite some - up to 1800km wide and 1200km high. However, a SEAD mission always is a teamwork involving team tactics.

And lets not forget that they have stationed nuclear tactical missiles in Kalinigrad as well, that could reach as far as Berlin and Eastern Germany. In short time.
I dont worry that much about the Ukraine. I am worried over the Kalingrad enclave. It also a jump pad for a conventional ground offensive. A Blitz, that is. If the Russians would mean serious business, NATO would have no chance to defend the Baltic states and Poland. The reaction times needed would not allow that.

Maybe I should make clear that in the above I did not want to philosophize about the specifics of any Western air war against Russia, but that I wanted toi point out that Russia is engaged in a strategy not really unaggressive forward deployment since years, and not just in the Ukraine, but along its complete Western borders. That incldues nuclear wepaons (tactical nukes) that have much shorter flight times to target than ICBMs.

Good heavens man...that would violate the Monroe Doctrine ...although we recently allowed a suspicious Iranian vessel to go to Venezuela, the current hotbed of (failed) Marxist doctrine in the Western Hemisphere after the Soviet post-missile crisis in '1960's Castro regime in Cuba...Ché Guevera having failed dismally in Bolivia. Rule 1 of said doctrine is that the Atlantic Ocean is an English speaking lake with a primary choke point at the Panama Canal ...and is the Eastern moat of the American castle...
