I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that Carruthers is more about posting what he finds interesting and unusual according to his tastes, as opposed to OMG INVASION!

That said, the Channel is a very narrow stretch of water. You can see France from England across it.
So Putin is waving his dick quite close to our faces there.

I'm okay. I live it t'North now. I have enough time to travel five miles to the Leeds/ Bradford airport and make it to America when they invade.

Yes, that's about right Sundae. Once long ago, I did play a very minor part in the Cold War.
In fact it was so minor that it was barely visible to the naked eye but I still take an interest in these things.

Yeah, I know that, but that's the reaction Putin is looking for. He says hey look at me, and anyone who says hey look at Putin, makes his day. Although I doubt Putin reads the Cellar.

So is flying the Bear Bombers along the California coast.
Carruthers is too smart to think it's an actual threat, and not grandstanding by Putin.

Oh, the ski jump nose... the Russians only steal the best ideas.
