When I was a teen I saw a cesna land on the interstate. It was a trip.

I mean, I guess it's better to be prepared, but still, practicing for a war with China by landing A10's on a highway is a little odd. What exactly are they going to do when they're on the ground?

Next time just have Gutmer lay down, belly-up on the highway and they can crash land there.

It's the reason you have a straight away every 5 miles on the interstate so it can be used as an emergency runway in times of war

Yea, and this case they are thinking China will get tanks on the ground on this continent?

There's an urban legend that President Eisenhower, who initiated the interstate highway system, also intended them to function as landing strips for military aircraft. Look it up.

Pretty sure that’s the definition of bad ass.

Not an urban legend. That is true. That is where they would take off from in case of nuclear war.

Russians would nuke some of the best locations to take off on interstates.

More like they’re worried about China using nukes on our bases in a conflict. In which case, the entire world would be over as we know it.

Joe Biden will go down in history as the greatest president in the United States before the fucking chinese cock suckers put tanks on American soil.

What the top secret echelons of the America military's raw power (and this segment is above and works independently of the kiss ass joint chiefs of staff), secret advanced technology, and enough nukes just in the huge fleet of our boomer subs is enough to literally flatten every fucking mountain in china.

They know it. Korea knows it and so does Russia. Ever notice we don't have childish military display parades to show how bad ass we are? When you're the big dog all you have to do is stand. But china and russia do it all the time? China and russia know good and damn well we can obliterate both of them at the same time. Sure they would put a dent in our helmet, but not total destruction like we would rain down on them.

Start reading a publication called Jane's.

Trust me, no country on the face of this earth will start a war with the United States of America - even though we have a jack ass in the white house.
