Why It's So Hard to Insult America

CNN asks why Putin is living in 1985 and the question is prompted by the turboprop bombers that have been flying for, oh, fifty years or so.  (CNN:  Why Vladimir Putin thinks it's still 1985)

He's been trying to get out of 1985 for some while but America still plays cowboys and Indians.  All it costs Putin is a few rubles worth of fuel to send the bombers closer and laugh and laugh as America goes berserk over it.  The reaction is absolutely predictable as all the paper generals start fluttering about.

Reminder:  Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff gets a salary of $250K annually plus bribes and he has spent less time in-theater than my nephew.  Just another paper Pentagon general.

America is back way farther than 1985 as Remember the Maine.  You probably don't but America said Spain sank the Maine in Cuba.  It wasn't true but it didn't stop the war.  (Wiki:  USS Maine)

Note:  the Maine represented one of the earliest US 'false flag' attacks and it remains a classic.  What may be interesting is that William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer performed the role of Fox News in screaming in their papers, "Remember the Maine - To Hell with Spain."

Putin isn't afraid.  He's laughing at you.  The reputation is so well-known now that it's an international joke.
