ICE STORM-! <<<<< GBA WARTIME GAZETTE >>>>>>> It is time for Nato to move their collective asses. An intricate war game was played out recently and it had just this set of circumstances & in that case Nato did not move fast enough. And US forces had to enter through Poland and it was a very tough slog when it didn't have to be. It is the moving of troops that becomes very difficult here... so Now Nato needs to arm up and move out. Nato countries will be defended to the last Russian. " Go F Yourself-! " A bit of legend forming on Snake Island. This is very much like a battle in WW2 that had a US outfit pined down... and there the response was similar... I think it was " Nuts! " I have to get my history books out. If Russia threatens Lithuania we are really going to have a situation. Nato Ride! Provide a line of defense right now in Lithuania...

I saw it fall in pieces last night. Plane explosions have a certain look. The thing is that plane was taken out from the ground. So it is possible to shoot down these planes.
