Was just coming to post this.
A Russian fighter jet made multiple, close-range passes near an American warship in the Black Sea for more than 90 minutes Saturday amid escalating tensions in the region, a U.S. military official said Monday.
In the first public account of the incident, the official said the Russian Fencer flew within 1,000 yards of the USS Donald Cook, a Navy destroyer, at about 500 feet above sea level. Ship commanders considered the actions provocative and inconsistent with international agreements, prompting the ship to issue several radio queries and warnings.

Obama:
"We apologize to Russia for our ship coming too close to the Russian jet. I have called President Putin and let him know we are taking all measures to avoid this from happening again."

An important part of the article you linked, IMO, is that the jet appeared to be unarmed.

This game is nothing new. I have plenty of photos of Russian warplanes and ships making passes on the carrier I use to serve on.
All part of the great game.

I think times are a bit different today than they've been in the past few decades. Outwardly at least.

Ok, so we are in the Russians' back yard while they are in the middle of a potentially volatile conflict. I can see why they are doing this. I'm sure we would do the same.

Did this affect Obama's golf plans?
