Donald Trump Is Elected President in Stunning Repudiation of the Establishment

Given that the E-6B deals with “command, control and communications,” as well as electronic surveillance and communications with nuclear submarines and other assets that could launch nuclear war… one can assume that a major mission is in rehearsal – to take charge of the nation’s vital weapons and resources in the event of a catastrophic emergency, break down in order or disabling of the power structure in Washington.

A similar E-4B was spotted flying above the capital on the morning of September 11th, shortly after the attacks. It was reportedly conducting a drill, but later instructed to prepare to go active as a mobile command center.

In a “declassified version of a highly classified assessment” released on Friday January 6, the U.S. intelligence community laid out its judgment that “Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election,” with the specific goal of harming Hillary Clinton’s “electability and potential presidency.” The report went on: “We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump.”

Yeah like, soon as Don gets sworn in all those deported dudes will get let back in here and our troops along the Russian border will get pulled. Don't know why he's only doing things incoming leadership can instantly undo. :shrug:

Cool party, guys.
People talk about out anti ballistic missiles like they're garbage tier iron dome-like systems, when in reality even the lovely little SM's on our ships are accurate enough to hit a washing machine in high earth orbit. Russia knows their only hope is a swarm attack mixed with a ton of chaff, and there's no goddamn way they could wipe out even a small chunk of american cities with that strategy.

there's no effective counter to ballistic missiles simply because they move too high and too fast, your only chance to intercept is either at launch or near apoapsis, which you can't do because country borders and the issues with space militarization/weaponization respectively
