ORIGINAL: Supreme 2.0

Some of you may already know the article while others don't.
For those who don't, the European Leadership Network just released an interesting article on the 40 most noteworthy encounters between Russia and the West in 2014 provided all together in a map.

i just want to remind everyone of the Reagan rhetoric of "evil empire" and the Able Archer 1983 nuclear war scare.

One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Fascinating, looks as if the JHMCS has a little picture-in-picture from the TGP there in the lower right corner. Just a little misaligned at very close range.

I think that was proved fake a while ago. The reasons stated were:
-The Portugese Air Force never released this video and you wont find it anywhere exept on the channel of the fake.
-All articles that refer to this "incident" as proof only lead to this video while crediting the Portuguese Air force which never released this video.
-The plane looks very much like a 3D model as the picture in the end shows.
- Exact same model and look like in the game Digital Combat Simulator:(can't post links because I don't have enough posts yet)
-The pilots head movement is unnatural
