Taking bits and pieces from this thread we have written the script for this episode of the Twilight Zone.

We enter into the episode already in progress. After a long time of peace and prosperity, the fingers get itchy. Those flashy big red blinking buttons look tempting. During this time of piece, the big boys have pissed in the pond enough. They don't have anything else to show off. The natives are getting restless and are starting too not believe the hype any more, on a global scale. So they brag and boast. Wanting an excuse to bring out all their stealthy robotic toys. It should be real fun. We got a surprise for them. We have all these remote control doo-hickeys with video goggles. Just like being there. Each side things they've got it made. Surgical precision. Somebody over there throws something over there and hits somebody else in the head at the peace talks. They start blaming each other and taking sides. Soon the room is cleared out with traisl of dust as they all run back home to put on thier goggles. The people get anxious. Then in some remote land, where some poor souls live who we never heard of loose everything. As thats where it starts and they bring out their toys and wreak havoc. But the people revolt, they wont have it. The soldiers lay down thier arms and refuse to fight. The big boys appear to panic. They all huddle back in the conference room and close the door. All of sudden, in the sky things start popping up. Doing ugly things. They come from another world the big boys declare to the people. And they want to kill us all. So we have to lock everything down and we all can't go. We have to clear the surface and fight for our planet. We have cities built ready to go. but we all can't fit. If your rating is this number and above you qualify to get on the list. Then we have to verify you and your family history with all the records we have. To assure sure you are politically correct. We just need a drop of blood to track your dna back 15,000 years to see if you are genetically compatible and free of defects. The rest of you stay up top, be patriotic and fight.
We leave this episode of the twilight zone zoomed in the face of a patriotic citizen, John Q Public, as he hears the news as he realized he doesn't qualify.

Back to reality: bear in mind the truth is stranger than fiction. with all the speculation on technology and advancements, the trillions of dollars on both sides that have gone in to black ops. I believe man realizes that nuclear war is not an option. So they have some other cookie cutters under the tarp some where just icthin' to try out.

Great film but where was the rest of the fleet. Aircraft carriers don't fight alone, and i doubt that the jets will be on the deck when they do.

I don't know if anyone will be left standing if a US fleet faces a Russian fleet. I just know I would not want to be there when it happens.

It's the U.S. submarines under the water that Russia should really worry about.

What! We have 3 Arleigh Burke missle cruisers, the best in the world, now in the Baltic, two aircraft carriers standing by in the Med. Sea, Airbases in turkey, 3 airbases along the Iranian border than can overfly Armenia direct to Georgia, plus Nato, plus the ability to shut down the Baltic Sealanes to the Med.

Wars coming based upon all of the Russian changes. Time we started shooting down the Russian aircraft that have been overflying our Carriers. No more escorting them out of the area.

MK 15 Phalanx Close-In Weapons System (CIWS)

Very unreliable system.When the USS Stark was attacked by a Iraq warplane,that piece of junk didn't even detect the incoming missile.
In the fleet they say the acronym CIWS stands for "Captain, it won't shoot."
The better deterrent to some boozed up Russian making claims with his mouth that his butt can't back up is the knowledge that five minutes after they attacked, the Black Sea fleet would cease to exist.Probably their fleet in the Med also.
