    NO. Trump means “boomer”, ballistic missile submarines armed with a dozen+ ICBMs whose warheads splits into Multiple Independently-targetable Reentry Vehicles (MIRVs).

    He’s made a clear and present threat: “I just ordered the most powerful weapon platforms into your backyard.”

    They know those boomers are somewhere, easily able to strike Russia. You know it. I know it. But in diplomatic terms, this is the worst threat I’ve heard from the head of a nation state. And I lived the Cold War.

      He is referring to boomers, no question. See my other comments on this thread.
