Inside a military aircraft designed to survive a nuclear war, an area once used as a first class lounge now contains six blue passenger seats next to two sleeping bunks.
Maj. Ted DeBonis, maintenance squadron commander, says it’s a break area for the 12 aircraft mechanics who accompany the plane on every hop, waiting to fix it anywhere in the world.

If there are frames passed the X-ray inspection, they should keep them flying like the B-52's and keep them flying for almost 200 years. The B ministration wants to give 15% increase to federal agencies for golf Delta climate change but only a 4% increase in the defense budget with the net result of a 6% decrease in the defense budget because of the Putin and Biden price hike of fuel. How can the Air Force maintain these aircraft if the defense budget is only going up by 4% not 15% like some federal agencies are? It makes no sense but this president cares more about climate change help when a nuclear war may just bring climate change into a reality and it will last 20 years. If any leftist Democrats survive, but they will be really upset that they destroyed America not just from within, but from the outside.
I have used this theme over and over again because climate change is not the biggest existential threat as the media and others have said, it is our adversaries.
While idiots go to Davos to brag about how they're going to mitigate climate change, remember that Russia has threatened Finland as Sweden with nuclear missiles or placing nuclear missiles if they join NATO.

Regional nuclear war could trigger global cooling and famine
Even a limited nuclear conflict could spark "unprecedented climate change," U.S. government scientists warn.
