    great fan of metric, but the French are certainly not going to agree
    to use anything else in /their/ components, and at least using metric
    will make the entire mission doesn't just die on reaching its
    destination.

    Are you aware just how few countries choose to not use the metric system?

    I'll help you, it's three: Liberia, Myanmar, and the USA.

    I wouldn't like being lumped in with Myanmar...

    Cheers,

    Sadly, the Soviets (and their technology) are long gone.

    I beg to differ - Soviet technology is still here. Ukraine has
    destroyed 3336 tanks so far, most of those from the soviet era.

    The still use Soviet Soyuz boosters.

    One might note that Putin desires the return of the Sovyetky Soyuz. >>>>>>

    While even one nuke in a Western City would be Very Bad News, its
    legitimate to wonder how many Soviet nuclear bombs are operational.

    American nukes, and presumably Soviet/Russian ones, have the inital

    pt

    I suggest that we do not want to find out as apparently several are
    targeted for Berlin and a few other German cities. I am not sure if
    London is targeted.

    Apparently? Not Sure? or baseless speculation.

    I do not know what the leaders of NATO are thinking but I hope that they
    die in the first salvo of the CANNED SUNSHINE.

    There's nothing really new here.

    This was the Soviet strategy for conquering Europe in the 70s/80s:
    first whack the heck of them with nukes and then move right in.

    The REFORGER depots (remember them?) were prime targets.


    This all reminds me of Hackett's _Third World War_ and Clancy's
    _ Red Storm Rising_.
