Is the US at war with Russia?

[The Dark Lord]

I've been hearing military jets all day today, constantly. They are everywhere. (I'm near a base, but they are very active today, way more than usual.) I'm also hearing strange booming noises and I honestly don't know what the hell they are. My family is wary and we are considering what we should do.

 

 

 

I'm just wondering if there is any breaking news anywhere.

[Errdoth]

Uh...wrong Georgia, dude.

[mrpez]

WWIII, i can see it coming.

[Sbrideau]

WWIII, i can see it coming.

 

+1

 

 

 

I unfortunately don't have anything else to say.

[RSBDavid]

I have been seeing / hearing lots of jets as well.

 

 

 

I think its going ot be another cold war tbh.

TYPICAL AMERICAN.

 

 

 

*cough*

 

 

 

That'd be Georgia the country, not Georgia the state.

I think he knows which Georgia the news media is talking about. He is concerned if the U.S. is at war because he has heard an increase in fighter jets in his area and bombing noises, which obviously aren't normal. Don't cut to such conclusions. Even if the "typical american" comment was sarcasm.

[The Dark Lord]

I hear the booming, but now it just sounds like little firecrackers. Damn kids and their [bleep]ing pranks trying to scare the [cabbage] out of the neighborhood... Anyway I knew about Georgia (the country) and Russia being at war, but I didn't know if George the Warmonger has made any hasty recent decisions to send the airforce into the conflict or not. I'm serious, the air base is freakin active right now. Maybe the country is just on alert or something?

[dangeresque]

The booming you here is the Sonic Boom created by the Jets breaking the sound barrier, no biggy.

[RussianMofian]

This topic is lol.

 

 

 

I see you live in Arkansas....I'm sure that if the President ordered air force support for Georgia it would be closer to the coast, not smack in the middle of the US.

[The Observer]

Hmm, up here in Canada I've seen a few CF-18s flying about. Probably an air show, but the weather doesn't seem to be the right conditions for that.

[Lenticular_J]

Of course they're running drills. Most of the military will be on alert during this Georgia Russia thing. Standard procedure.

[The Dark Lord]

I see no one even bothered to read my latest comment. It sounds like the booming noises are just pranksters setting off firecrackers left over from July 4th (we also tend to live in the County, not the city, although we are claimed to be an annex of the city.) I'm just wondering if there are any alerts right now because it would only make sense for the military to be more active incase there is a conflict with the US and Russia. Anyway I'm living in the Capital right now (consult location) so it would seem more logical that the city is under a patrol by the airforce, just incase.

What makes you think that any of the people here would be privvy to the US military's alert status (Kriegs excepted).

[llamster]

If the US fought a war with Russia it would be huge news, possibly bigger than 9/11. If it did happen the news networks on TV would be on fire and everyone you know will probably call you to talk about it or whatever.

seriously this kinna stuff is getting annoniyng, o look its america, they sure dont know anything -.-

 

 

 

OT: gerogia isn't really that much of an ally of america, and its not like russia is attacking georgia for no reason. shorta like how american invaded iraq, that didn't start a nuclear holocasut, im not saying it was the smartest move ever, but people are seriously blowing this out of propertion imo

[InkofDeath]

My uncle is in the Canadian Military and he's said all Canadian military groups are on something called priority alert. I personally phoned him to find out why there's so many fighters/jets roaming about, this was his answer.

 

 

 

Not meaning to add to confusion but it could be connected.

 

 

 

Just think Canada is going to war with the U.S.!@!@@

[The Dark Lord]

Thanks. Someone has finally answered my question. I suppose this priority alert applies to all NATO countries?

[Dizzle229]

I'm going to say something a 1950's dad would say.

 

 

 

"Finally, an excuse to blow the reds to high hell!"

[Rebdragon]

[bleep]ing doomsayers. Every-[bleep]ing-where.

[Shiny]

[bleep]ing doomsayers. Every-[bleep]ing-where.

 

 

 

Agreed. ON topic though, I think there drilling, because the whole Georgia-Russia thing is kinda shaking them again. Support for Russia on my side.

Those with armies worth their salt. I bet if you were floating on a raft with your buddy, a volleyball, and saw a carrier ship, they'd be running drills as well.

[demonfirzen]

If youse were, you'd certainly know about it. Russia's firepower is notorious.

 

Yeah, i'd rather be on Russia's side.

[eggzs]

Russia is just waiting for NATO/USA to get into the war in Georgia before they pop up in Seattle and all hell breaks loose.

[The Dark Lord]

Basically we WOULD have to say "Sorry" to Georgia and just stay out of it. This sounds bad, but Georgia IS a puny country and even though they helped out in Iraq, it wouldn't be worth sacrificing the United States and causing a major shift in world power over a tiny country that would probably be better off with Russia anyway...

 

 

 

If the US and Russia went into full-scale war, two things would happen. Either Russia would fight us downhill and ruin the economy even further in the process, or we would declare nuclear war and in that process we would most likely destroy each other within hours and the world would be screwed because of the radiation and nuclear dust particles.

 

 

 

So there is a clear message for us Americans: 1) Bush better GTFO and 2) Don't elect a trigger-happy warmonger such as McCain. At least with Obama he'll be a little more diplomatic and passive.

 

 

 

Hey at least I can look at the bright side. We get an updated globe and map that shows Georgia as part of Russia AND we get the president I was rooting for anyway just because the other politician seemed like he wanted to help out Georgia (pissing Russia off). Besides this sounds very unpatriotic, but I didn't see what the big deal was in the first place. First off all, S. Ossetia wanted to separate from Georgia in the first place. At least now Georgia won't have to deal with the pressure that rebellious and discontent people would place on their government. So really does that make me on Russia's side in this affair?
