Except, you know, we don’t take over the country that we put our base in, and that country wants us there as protection from Russia. More like “You’re not touching them”

Sounds like it’s about time for a B-1 to streak in supersonic on the deck directly over a Russian boat. Maybe if they don’t get a warning until 10 miles and 1 minute out, they’ll stop dicking around with the Cook.

You’re absolutely one of the dumber Putin-bots we’ve had. That takes real effort. Congrats friend.

TR: Russians aggressively fly over US Destroyer

Are you new here or is one of our regular Ruskie trolls on vacation and you’re filling in?

Unfortunately I think Russia is the one who has had an issue with figuring out where their borders are recently.

While cool, makes a difference who is flying the aircraft. Did the Orion buzz any warships of other nations?

Lol “read less analysts like Rogoway” And here we have confirmation of your troll status. Thank you. By the way, I don't recall seeing you here before. Are you new here or is one of our regular Ruskie trolls on vacation and you're filling in?

Who said anything about carriers ? Stay on topic Boris!

I get the impression that they definitely have those planes painted the whole time. Shooting down one plane in international waters is a terrible look though and you can bet there isn’t a Captain in the Navy who wants to be the guy who fires the first shot. I think the Americans acted appropriately here, nobody was…

There’s a difference between general vicinity and dangerously close. That flying would cause any civilian pilot to lose their license (and probably worse).

I’ve said it all along. The more Russia declines, the more belligerent they’ll become.

Where?

Captain Sullenberger recommends Canada geese for their effectiveness.

I hope the crew of don’t all again resign en masse..., in terror of mother Russia’s might!

This is a very dangerous game. I don’t know what kind of protocols our ships follow with regards to potential air attacks, but this sort of behavior seems to beg for miscalculation and escalation. Unfortunately, it’s a game we’re probably going to have to play as well if we want them to respect our ships’ right to…

I know.. We should fly our destroyers over their airbases. That’ll show them.

Higwhay to the Donbass zone!

Kremlin-bots inbound..... deploying from orbital platforms

I liked Turkey’s solution. As crazy as it was, I didn’t hear of any more airspace violations.
