Might be a good idea if we didn't poke where things didn't need to be poked...


That is a great idea. We should have stopped poking Russia years ago, that's what led to this mess now.

I think we need to seriously rethink our involvement

But Russia just did the same thing and this was in response to that, per the article.

Jeebus, this reads like a story to stir up fears of WWIII instead of these little encounters happen in a few places lots of times.

And I seriously doubt Russia flew over Japan airspace for 7 hrs unless Japan says something.

The hypocritical outrage by the war mongers is hilarious. Imagine if Russia were doing this same shite in the Gulf of Mexico.

democrats see their only chance to win the election is if they start a war, so they are hell bent on doing just that.

once you accept this fact, everything they do makes sense

Both sides have been doing these flights/intercepts for 70 years.

Prediction - lots of people complaining about us doing this.

Despite russia doing it regularly for years.


I'm sure Russia has the same opinion of us doing it for years

Maybe I'm the only one but these actions and reports don't even raise my level of care above whatever the Kardashians are doing on said day. All it is, is noise.

Whataboutism isn't good. I'm not Russian, idgaf what Russia does. I'm American, I give a frick what we do. Russia doing dumb things that can start a war and get their citizens killed, that's for the Russian citizens to worry about. I worry about our government starting a war and getting us killed.

They were escorted by Polish F-16s, and after they returned to base that's when the Russians decided to intercept for a photo op and propaganda purposes. Appears to have worked based on this thread


I was just asking "in general".

No fricks really given regarding the propaganda side of it - that's a given.

It's weird you can't ask basic questions here.

Myyyyyyyy Baaaaaaaaad.

I don't fully understand that logic but don't doubt that's their thought process.

They FUBAR'd the Afghanistan withdrawal so bad that they can't possibly think Americans would really want to engage with chit for brains as POTUS. Much less, let him continue down the path come election time.

Yes, and there have been some near collisions over the years. Some blame lack of training of Russian pilots for the downing of our Reaper. Also recall several years ago a Chinese fighter pilot collided with one of our spy planes.

If there was an accidental downing of a B-52 in today's political climate, we might be looking at WWIII
