I vaguely remember @British_Airways being a serious airline. This is the foul slop they passed off as food on a recent transatlantic flight.

Polish mil chief: “In the 70s and 80s, 30% of B-52 bombers were flying permanently and had nuclear weapons with pilots ready to act. Today we have a challenge to say the word B61 [the primary US thermonuclear gravity bomb], so let us change narratives” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/06/nato-should-respond-more-aggressively-russia-polish-general-rajmund-andrzejczak

Polish mil chief: “Russia is saying publicly it is putting nuclear systems in Belarus and what are we doing in our panama T-shirt? I don’t want to escalate too much, but what is wrong with our vocabulary? Nato is a nuclear organisation” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/06/nato-should-respond-more-aggressively-russia-polish-general-rajmund-andrzejczak

This doesn’t sound right to me. “Gen Rajmund Andrzejczak also said he did not think North Korea would be preparing to sell weapons to Russia without the agreement of China.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/06/nato-should-respond-more-aggressively-russia-polish-general-rajmund-andrzejczak
