US Claims Malfunctioning Russian Cruise Missiles Hit Iran; Moscow, Tehran Both Deny
The past seven days have brought a wave of competing propaganda from both Washington and Moscow as both East and West scramble to shape the narrative on Syria where Russia’s “intervention” has apparently turned the tide in favor of Damascus, completely destroying the anti-Assad strategy of the Pentagon’s regional allies.
It’s absolutely imperative for everyone to do their best to maintain the public’s trust here. This is how we put it on Wednesday:
The West cannot afford to stand by and watch Russia do in a matter of weeks what the US has failed to accomplish in 13 months. Put simply: if Moscow declares victory over ISIS within the next month or two (and that appears as likely as not), Washington will be left to explain to a bewildered public what just happened. To the uninitiated, it will appear as though Russia’s military is far superior to the US Army when it comes to fighting terror and on top of that, Iran’s now well publicized role will not only cast further doubt on the nuclear deal, but will also raise questions about the contention that Tehran is committed to financing and exporting terror.
For Russia, the powerplay in Syria represents nothing short of a return to the world stage after decades of flying below the radar as a second rate superpower. Putin has now proven that Moscow can project its influence with virtual impunity and as Monday’s “accidental” violation of Turkish airspace suggests, The Kremlin is getting more brave by the day in the face of what certainly looks like a de facto surrender by the West.
Well, it now looks as though, lacking anything in the way of options, the US is set to try and sow discord between Russia and Iran by highlighting the following “story”:
- MISSILES MEANT FOR SYRIA LANDED IN RURAL IRAN: DEFENSE OFFICIAL
- FOUR RUSSIAN CRUISE MISSILES LANDED IN IRAN, U.S. OFFICIAL SAYS
- U.S BELIEVES FOUR RUSSIAN CRUISE MISSILES FIRED AT SYRIA FROM RUSSIAN SHIP CRASHED IN IRAN -U.S. OFFICIALS
- MISSILES MEANT FOR SYRIA LANDED IN RURAL IRAN: DEFENSE OFFICIAL
And here’s CNN:
A number of cruise missiles launched from a Russian ship and aimed at targets in Syria have crashed in Iran, two U.S. officials told CNN Thursday.
Monitoring by U.S. military and intelligence assets has concluded that at least four missiles crashed as they flew over Iran. One official said there may be casualties, but another official said this is not yet known.
It's unclear where in Iran the missiles landed. The Russian ships have been positioned in the south Caspian Sea, meaning the likely flight path for missiles into Syria would cross over both Iran and Iraq.
The Russians have been firing a relatively new cruise missile called "Kaliber," using it for the first time in combat.
Note that we are not denying the possibility that some Russian cruise missles might have accidentally landed in Iran. That very well could be the case. But if it is, here's why: Moscow just fired up a military juggernaut that's been parked in the garage for nearly three decades and so yeah, it's entirely possibly that there will be a few hiccups and tragically, those hiccups will probably result in the loss of innocent lives. There's no sugar coating that.
But if this is an effort on the part of the Pentagon to create tension between Moscow and Tehran it won't work.
Understand that this would be like attempting to sow conflict between the US and Canada by drawing attention to US missles that accidentally hit Alberta on the way to targets in Alaska where militants were attempting to invade North America. In other words: Tehran isn't going to care about this and the sooner Washington, Doha, and Riyadh decide to get serious about developing a real strategy here, the better off they'll look in the history books because suggesting that Russian jets are about to bomb Ankara and/or that Russia shouldn't fire cruise missiles at militants because one or two might malfunction on the flight over Iran hardly counts as a credible "plan" and indeed, this isn't exactly the best time for the US to be pointing fingers when it comes to collateral damage.
Oh, and by the way, both Russia and Iran say these reports are entirely bogus. Via Sputnik:
Iranian defense ministry believes reports on "fallen Russian cruise missiles" are part of the intensified western propaganda war, according to a source.
Tehran denies US reports that four of Russia's cruise missiles targeting ISIL actually fell to the ground in Iran, with the country's defense ministry calling the accusations "psychological war."
Russia's Defense Ministry denies US media reports of an alleged incident involving cruise missiles which were fired at ISIL positions in Syria on October 7, stating that all missiles hit their designated targets.
"No matter how unpleasant and unexpected for our colleagues in the Pentagon and Langley was yesterday's high-precision strike on Islamic State infrastructure in Syria, the fact remains that all missiles launched from our ships have found their targets," ministry's spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said.

THey fired 26 missiles. So if only 4 of them were totally worthless, that is actually excellent quality by Russian standards.
Those Rooskies are worse shots then those Amerikanskis
RT, I mean the Ministry of Disinformation will straighten this out in way that all here will believe.
... are worse shots than those Amerikanskis."
I guess the spell checker didn't pick that one up for him, eh? Stupid is as stupid does . . .
Jesus Christ, when did America turn into such a bunch of fucking whining, bitching, lying little crybabies!?
FFS!
Jesus Christ, when did America turn into such a bunch of fucking whining, bitching, lying little crybabies!?
After they killed the last real President of the USA, John F. Kennedy . . . .
They already were when I came here back in the early 90's.
I'd guess around 1971 or 1913.
When? On or slightly before Romans 1:18-32.
http://www.biblestudytools.com/esv/romans/passage/?q=romans+1:28-32
I believe ALL will agree when read ("debased" is a better translated "reprobate"), but there are always the foolish.
The real easy to read.
http://www.biblestudytools.com/ncv/romans/passage/?q=romans+1:28-32
4 out of 26? It's not a bad number... At least some terrorists were killed with the other 22 and that's all it matters.
Who the fuck believes the US and the psychopathic zionist banksters that control us?
Who the fuck believes the US and the psychopathic zionist banksters [and their Main Stream Media propaganda whores] that control us?
Unfortunately the majority of Americans that get their "news" from the MSM do . . . and that is probably about 75-80% or more of the total population.
Most people in the USA are generally very lazy when it comes to being informed. In general, they find it much easier to sit in front of the teevee and listen to the propaganda on CNN and FOX Neus, and/or read the Jew York Slimes or some other rag, rather than trying to go out of their way to find some semblance of the truth by doing their own research on the internet.
This problem is one of the primary reasons the same criminals keep being reelected to CONgress and why no-one but the "selected" main stream candidates have a snowball's chance in Hell to be elected as President of the US. Until this situation changes nothing else in the USA will change for the good . . .
like amazon wants to deliver packages with drones, russians do it with missles.
The Pentagon to Iran - "Please,can we have our most sophisticated U.S.drone back,we're sorry for any inconvenience."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0k2qFdiFE4
If the Iranians don't give it a damn funk. Every thing is cool.
Has Baghdad Bob got a new gig at Foggy Bottom?
dear pentagon,
please STFU about where other countries missiles may or may not have landed because of a malfunction that may or may not have occurred.
it is embarrassing in light of recent events especially since it appears you have presented nothing in the way of proof or evidence to back up this claim (again).
it just comes off as a desperate attempt at petty and childish propaganda born of staggering ineptitude. funny you should accuse the Russian military of being unprofessional while offering up this type unverified, unconfirmed garbage from "unnamed sources". the essence of unprofessional.
but then, we have come to expect nothing less.
perhaps you should be thanking Moscow, they are after all really just cleaning up the mess you have spent over a decade creating.
Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and most recently Syria.
now get back to the idiot table, with all your idiot friends, with your idiot cap and a big sign in bold letters that reads-
WE INTENTIONALLY BOMB CIVILIAN HOSPITALS.
you deserve worse, but a public shaming would at least be a start, as a US citizen who pays attention and gives a damn about what is done in my name I find you to be an absurd embarrassment upon this nation.
warmest regards,
MF
The thumbs down on some of these posts, like the one above...Mr. Kerry (AKA: Lurch) are you there?
maybe there is a secret addition in us iran treaty and iran backstabs russia later on
boiling pot psychology
Yes, this is indeed psychological warfare so I would have to agree with Iran.
It is amazing to see the 'exceptional and indispensable' lunatics in the US stoop to a new low.
Orlov is right, the Empire of Chaos is getting mightily silly.
If Russia can clean up the "terror" mess the that Washington (cough NATO) AND Langley have made in 2-3 months; how will that make them look after 2 or more years. They (couugh NATO)will stop at nothing to make sure that doesn't happen.
Note that the Russian general used both Washington AND Langley; that was not by accident to include Langley, the Al-CIAda, IS, ISIS, & ISIL and all other middle-east terror groups are funded, trained and weaponized.
Missiles do NOT "crash", they explode; that is how you know it is Bull!! Especially in the convenient rural country side.
So what if it did?
proof?
first look for what is missing...
Maybe they took out some MEK bases in Iran while flying past Iraq You remember MEK ? They are Israeli trained proxies in Iran that went around assasinating Iranianian physicists and high officials. Once on terrorist list, they greased a few palms, as most cults do. They are in US as well, and have been relabled dissidents thanks to Hillary Clinton and few of our esteemed Congressman, It would be gratifying if an errant cruise missle found their way to them. I am sure many of the chinese cruise missles will accidently fall on the US backed Uguirs as well.
https://www.rt.com/op-edge/196176-iran-dissidents-nuclear-weapons-terrorism/
It makes total sense that Rusiia and China would attempt to get rid of the whole Kit n Kaboodle whilst they and are in same place.
More fucking BS created news, which seems to be the norm in the western terrorist axis of evil. How pathetic.
FORT RUSS Why is Obummer hysterical ? http://fortruss.blogspot.co.at/2015/10/why-is-obama-hysterical.html
The US are desperate to find propaganda against Russia's involvement in Syria, to distract the publiv from looking at their own failures in the region.
cornered rats are very dangerous. russia showing up in syria to exterminate the mossad/cia/smoebody very friendly with is ra hell funded isis/is/isil/ loser mercenary cockroaches shines a bright light on the fact that the us govt and israel and all the other zionist controlled evil kingdoms of death, doom and destruction were hoping their hired guns could tear down another legitimate government, which is what the evil empire loves to do. They tried to get rid of Putin. That didn't work out so well. haha, I am sure they wish they had now. the jew owned and controlled west (Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, et al, sniff, RIP) will surely come up with some horrific counter attack. the jew must get what the jew wants OR ELSE!
Only a poltical moron like Tyler Durden
believes Russia and Iran first...such truth tellers!
Crimea and Eastern Ukrain was all volunteers!
And think USA is all lies all the time.
And think ISIS is wiped out after a couple weeks of Russian bombs,
just proves what a fool Durden is.
Unless Durden only wants to hate his country first.
Your mom seems really drank when she was pregnant with you.
Someone really needs to hack into the media broadcast centers and convert old Three Stooges episodes into these government briefings. FUBAR is the grossest understatment possible of the current situation.
According to Russian sources - Israel and Russia are getting along fine.
http://sputniknews.com/middleeast/20151008/1028184831/Russia-Seeks-Talks...
On Wednesday, senior officials with both the Israeli and Russian governments met to discuss the avoidance of accidental collisions in Syrian airspace. The meeting of senior diplomats in Israel follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow last month.
According to Alexey Drobinin, minister-counselor at the Russian Embassy in Israel, the meetings proved successful.
"Russia will not take any action that will endanger Israel’s national security," Drobinin told Israel Radio.
The war between Israel and Russia you war lovers have a hard on for now appears much less likely.
===
I still think a Russian secured, Saudi financed gas pipeline is in the works. That would give the Arab ME a common interest. It would enhance Russian interests and cut out the US from the ME. A Russian goal for a LONG time.
It would also explain Russia's "home by Christmas" announcement re:Syria.
Sounds like missile envy on the AmeriKa's part.
From sputnik:
"Putinmania has swept across the Iraqi population.
"We should give Putin Iraqi and Syrian citizenship because he loves us more than our own politicians," Mohammed al-Bahadli, a student in Najaf, told AFP.
"Muslims bomb us because we are Rafidha," said Saad Abdullah, an Iraqi store owner, using a term employed by IS to refer to Shiites.
"Meanwhile Putin, who is an Orthodox man, is defending us…Maybe he really is a Shiite and we didn’t know it."
The Russian president has also become a bit of an Iraqi Internet celebrity, with some circulating rumors that Putin may be able to trace his roots back to the Middle East.
While in no way accurate, the story suggests that Putin’s father was an Iraqi grocer, who because of specializing in figs – “tin” in Arabic – he became known as "Abu Tin." Moving to the Soviet Union after World War II, he married "a blonde Russian girl" and named their child Abdulamir.
From there, Abdulamir Abu Tin was russified to Vladimir Putin.
The fiction proves the endearing support by the Iraqi people for the Russian airstrikes, and for "Putin the Shiite."
"I thank Putin because he convinced me to stay in Iraq," said Ali al-Rammahi, an Iraqi cab driver. "Hajji Putin is better than Hussein Obama."
On Wednesday, Iraq’s defense and security committee indicated that it may ask Russia for air support in combating IS, according to committee head Haqim Zamli.
"Iraq may turn to Russia with a request to conduct airstrikes against the positions of Islamic State militants in Iraq if Russia is successful in Syria, that is if the airstrikes are effective and actual, and if we see that Russia [is operating] effectively in Syria," Zamli told Sputnik.

target practice, makes you better
Do these assholes even know the meaning of the word landed when referring to man made flying objects??
Some fucking awesome technology. Missiles that can land.
Maybe they needed to refuel? LOL
so they bomb Iran and US complains??? can't win
Web Brigade(And ZH David Duke contingent) goes full apoplectic.
I think MSM has me feeling pity for ISIS... come on ISIS... don't let those Russians get you down... come on America,, help ISIS...

Russia is only using "moderate"ammunition on the "moderate" terrorists. whew.
The Pantygon is just jealous 'cause they can't send any missiles into Iran....

I assume that this was satellite tracking.
It should be easy to show , shouldn't it?
Yeah, like MH17 ... I wonder what BS report comes out next week?
At a guess . . . . about 99.99% purity.
Just another case of technology transfer due to "malfunction"
See Loral Space & Comminications technology transfers to China by Bernard Schwartz and Bill Clinton.
"US Claims Russian crusie missiles blow up on their own ships and subs, sinking the entire Russian Black Sea Fleet."
"US claims uncontrolled rogue cruise russian misiles hit 3 Iranian orphanages."
US Claims Malfunctioning Russian Cruise Missiles Hit Washington DC; Moscow, Tehran Both Deny.
Fuck, it was only a wet dream!
I watched the Mockingbird Sellout Media, CBS and NBC. They both read from the Neo-Cultists' propaganda notebook.
They know exactly that four Russian missiles fell from sky in Iran, but they don't know that they bomb a hospital even when they are told they are doing it. Lies you must believe in.
#AmericanLiesMatter
Just guessing, but . . .
If the U.S. 'rules of engagemet" in ISIS-land were laid side by side with the Russian ROE, it would be immediately obvious why the Russkies are kicking butt and the U.S. didn't.
US cruise missles don't miss.
When we target a hospital, we hit it!
So, where did the order to target a hospital come from?
The Obama White House?
Was Obama in the White House situation room wearing his Presidential golfing jacket like he was when the Seals took out Osama Bin Laden?
The claim was made up, this triggered a quick response from the Russian Defense Ministry, with spokesman Igor Konashenkov saying that all the missiles had hit their targets on Wednesday. “Unlike CNN, we don’t distribute information citing anonymous sources, but show the very missile launches and the way they hit their targets almost in real time,” Konashenkov said. The spokesman pointed out that the strike targets are being photographed before and after being hit, while Russian drones are monitoring the situation from Syrian skies 24/7.
He who controls the airspace will control the narrative.
I'm pretty sure this bullshit being spewed about 'rogue' cruise missiles is a pretext to a major false flag by U.S.gov. Look in the coming week for a cruise missile to hit a built up area inside either Iran, Iraq or Israel, and blamed on the Russians. This will be when ZATO decides enough is enough and sends all it's got in to deal with the big, bad Russian bear. The worst part will be that the sheeple will be cheering for it.
What an absolute clusterfuck.
Fuck you ZATO, U.S. Obama, Cameron and all the other little pieces of crap floating around at the top of the controlled government toilet bowl.
No way! Really? I would have never guessed something like this could happen. Oh wait, I guess I did. Jesus Fucking Christ on a popsicle stick. Well, let's escalate the situation and start nuking each other so we can follow the fucktard who set up the Georgia Guidestones.
That is not even sarc; that is just plain cynicism.
Someone has to tannerite those fucking guidestones to send a message back. You never know where I will turn up. I might be in Idaho and I might in Georgia at the same time as I am in Texas. I know that there is surveillance, but that is easily defeatable. See, we don't need to kill anyone but we can blow the living shit out of their monuments to themselves. I really do not give a fuck, I'll rent a fucking D10 bulldozer and show these assholes what I really think. I love being underestimated.
My only question would be the following: Don't you Georgia boys have a tractor that you can go knock that shit over with? American Stonehedge my ass. Fucking elitist bullshit. Tell them that it is all over with. We don't have time for this bullshit anymore.
Another term for an ISIS convoy - "72 Virgins Express"....

"Runaway' Russian cruise missile hits (suspected) Iranian nuclear processing site.
Drive that wedge!
Russia may misfire missiles but our entire USA economy is imploding. Barry and his Buds in Congress -- Piglosi, Reed, etc -- have Nuked the American middle class.
Did they hit a hospital... intentionally? Didn't think so. Notice Vlad is getting higher ratings by far than Odumbo?
Pentagon propaganda is juvenile. It can't get much worse or can it? I guess the DoD are targeting an audience the consumes MSM news read at a 5th grade reading level. We are doomed.
The US is the biggest joke of a failed empire in the history of civilisation. These muppets have been in a perpetual state of war since incorporation, and post-WW2 they've lost every single one except a few minor wars to a few Central American countries that no one can point out on a map.
I really do hope the US starts up shit with Russia, because those drongos would be annihilated within weeks.
they didn't win ww2
Not saying they did it alone, but they were on the winning side.
So they didn't hit that hospital in Kunduz ! Clearly that was targetted by the AC130
come on china show us your new weapons
Kinky
The Russian Mrs.M had not heard of this missile issue. Well, who coulda knode? I think I might try to make a move on her but after two kids the vagina defense is very strong. I had better not use the "I have an errant missile for you" line. Aww, fuck it, I will try it but it won't end well. That is what I get for marrying a woman from any nation.:-)
I suppose it could be true....ever see those "Only in Russia" videos on Youtube?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqTKAKTR8bkTHE CLAIM OF THE 4 ERRANT RUSSIAN MISSILES
The Pentagon, Breedlove, NATO, Obama, Stoltenberg are setting up an ENORMOUS false flag event to take place when the Russians launch several more cruise missiles into Syria.
One of them the west will claim malfunctioned and hit a Turkish military base or population center.
Of course, the west itself will have hit the target in Turkey, but the western media will suport the company li(n)e.
Bingo. This is definitely cover for a false flag event.
Turns out you were spot on - they didn't have the balls to blame Russia though !! Otherwise an exceptional forcast ! Well done soldier !
Russia taking a page out of the US defense complex playbook. Can't really sell gear if you haven't actually used it yourself, can we??
U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense, Ashton Carter, predicts Russia's heavy military casualties in Syria in the coming days. (in Russian, use Yandex to translate)
Not a problem!
Any claims made can be supported by Google Earth "satellite" technology!!!!
Pics or it did not happen.
There is obviously a department at the pentogone called 'The Erroneous Emmision Press Release Executive' or EEPRE, who specialise in creating really dumb ass press releases that only people within a 100 yard, or earshot, radius believe.

Is this a buildup to a false flag incident where a cruise missile supposedly blows up some people or buildings somewhere, preferebly a mosque?
Get used to it, cheese (burger) eating surrender monkeys. You elected President Poop Prize. Twice.
"US Claims Malfunctioning Russian Cruise Missiles Hit Iran"
The US is so butthurt about their failures they're hoping some made up bad news sticks to Russia.
Maybe those Russian missiles were hacked like the Patriot missiles that got removed from Turkey earlier this year.
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/07/08/german-patriot-missiles-in-tu...
CabalBankstersA$$LickerObama : We have confirmed reports that Russian missiles struck Iran , exploded and killed a lot many people , we have satellite pictures on its (shows some doctored pics).
Whether the missiles hit their mark or went astray, the big picture is that Russia has seized the narrative along with Iran, and will control events in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere in the Mid-East. It is the natural outcome of President Peace Prize's vision to recreate the world in his own image. Only he didn't and turned the once mighty US into a sideshow.
Speaking of setting up a future false flag..check out this nugget from Ash Carter.
http://news.antiwar.com/2015/10/08/us-defense-secretary-predicts-terror-...
You just know the MIC has some filthy shit planned for a Moscow commuter train.
USSA is getting the message loudly and very clearly as are all its deserting vassals. There is a new kid in town and HIS is bigger and better.
Onward to the tsunami of rejected Saudi Mercan petroscrip I$I$ terror "backed" toilet paper dollahs coming home to drown US.
The prupose of the story is to reassure scared Europeans, not sow discord between Russia and Iran, as if Iran won't know of Russian missiles crashing in its territory and need the US to tell them that.
The paranoid European nations would be shitting bricks knowing that Russia has cruise missiles that can accurately hit targets 1500 kilometers away and there is nothing the US/NATO can do to protect them (who didn't even know about the missile launches until after Russia announced them) in the event of such an attack by Russia against them. Creating doubts about their accuarcy is meant to reassure them, but I doubt will work as evidenced by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker calling for EU bettering its relations with Russia soon after the launch of the missiles.
See it the same way. That was an obvious lesson for Europe (and the US). Just draw a circle around Caspian Sea, which would include a lot of US bases too. The missile used to conduct the attack is the 3M14TE Kalibr-NK with a maximum if 2600 km (I heard also 3500 km), fired by stealth small-sized missile ships Grad Sviyazhsk, Uglich, Veliky Ustyug.
Practical guy, this Putin: while he cleans up in Syria to maintain his area of influence, he tests his toys, trains his millitary under war conditions, sends the the jihadists packing for Merkels promised land and gives a stern message to Europe, the US vassal, that their US tactical nuclear weapons might not be a good idea. So funny, even if four missile fell from the sky, Putin would send next time 30, only idiots would get reassure by this narrative. Not even good propaganda.
Scared europeans?? For Russia? Thats funny because that is USA style thinking. Be scared or else...
Many europeans are quite angry on USA because of their politics and actions.
Just like the United Nations speeches ... when to choose between them, you would be braindead to support USA any longer.
I don't mean to insult Europeans, but the European allies of the USA are scared and of Russia after this demonstration, please check Juncker's reaction in the link I posted earlier.
They know they have nothing to fear from Russia as long as they don't push her. But push her they will as long as it serves the US interests as they demonstrated in the case of Ukraine. Russia is just showing that they are far more vulnerable than they like to believe. Hope it doesn't come to launching a missile against one of the EU territories for them to learn that.
the al quds commander general has been killed......
a general (strategic resource) killed by isis insurgent commando
things cooking over
link or stfu.
The problem the USA now has is that in the first instance most will think they are lying or spinning some bullshit, before coming out with any truth.
The USA's reputatioin now precedes it and its credibility at its lowest.
There will come a point where major Europeane countries will review their relationship with the USA and their current practice of bending to every US demands and following US plans in everything, even to their own deteriment.
More and more US goals and activities are harmful to European ecnomies and geopolitical safety, with little side benefit coming from the US. The USA is failing economically and geopolitically, its currency would be in enormous trouble if it were not the global reserve currency.
Europe would probably gain much more from forming closer relationships with Russia and China and engaging in the BRICS ideal.
How long will Europe sacrifice itself in order to help the USA maintain its global hegemony, a USA which is manifestly making a global mess of everything it tries.
You mean something like US cruise missiles meant for Serbia landing in Bulgaria and Romania, which subsequently cashed in by no-question asked EU membership?
MAYBE the world can drop some bombs/missiles on the white house and call it collateral damage.
Would solve many problems.
I know I shouldn't feel this way being an Amerikan but I actually enjoy watching the U.S. squirm.
We are getting outmaneuvered at every turn by Putin.
That is what happens when you elect a community activist into the presidency. (Not to imply that he is actually in control of the country)
It's actually a good thing to have a strong adversary to balance out the world. Keeps our insane policy makers in check.
When you hire a moron, you get moronic results. And then you complain
LOL the west is absolutely desperate to show Russia in a bad light at this point.
I think it's going terribly wrong.
People see that the U.S and their proxies (UK, Nato etc) are trying to pick a fight and escalate things.
The tomahawk has a 15% failure rate so that's not that bad.
I wish a Tomahawk would land in my backyard. It contains 15 kgs of pure silver. I'm fully protected here in the basement. Hope Mom is doing my laundry when it hits. She is a good cook.
This just in: Pentagon claims Putin sews socks that smell
