Another U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the lone Su-24 came within 200 yards (meters) of the Porter at an altitude of 300 feet (90 meters).


I'm more worried that the destroyer didn't fire at least a warning shot (and at that range, it would miss only because it was supposed to) than I am that the plane tried getting that close.

One would think that there is different protocol taken in return action; on Iran buzzing a United States Ship vs. Russia.

I doubt i'll ever meet him. Can I just leave it in the comments of the next set of photos from the war room in mar-a-lago after they are posted on facebook? my name and photo will be there so it will be somewhat legit.

What is with all this Russia nonsense. We spend more than 11x annually than Russia. It's not even close. We have 19 aircraft carriers vs their 1. We have the worlds reserve currency to fight such a war.

This is nothing but invented boogeyman to increase budgets and pork for military, spooks, and corporations.

oil sanctions will no longer work as putin has reinvested from the national oil companys to owning state run corporations outside of oil. their economy could have easily been influenced through oil price before.

if russia loses crimea they are landlocked from shipping to through the west. its their only current access to deploy ships

Damn, the globalist elites must REALLY want a war with Russia.
They apparently are blocking us from regime change in Syria.

Many in the non-mainstream media claimed that if we tried to go into Syria, it would pull in Russia and then all bets are off.

I sure hope they're wrong. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sick of war for profit.

I guess I'd put it somewhere above war for no profit and below no war on the preference list...

So what's clear is that leftist opponents will spin the narrative one way or another to discredit Trump because it suits their political agenda to do so


That's funny considering Trumptards have taken spin to a whole new level. They've left the Obamabots in their dust.

Don't believe everything you read, I guess DEMS never heard the saying keep your friends close and your enemies even closer, this is coming from a president that routinely says don't give away your tactics but instead stay a step ahead. DEMS are the single most retarded class of individuals I've ever seen and I'm starting to comprise a hatred toward them.

But I thought Putin was his pal and everyone on the right loved Putin because he is the type of guy that should rule the world or something. What happened?




According to the MSM/Progs/Dims ^^ that would be a true statement.

you dont have to...simply lock up the Su-24 with the Phased Array and watch how fast he vacates the area...the rules of engagement need to be re-written
