APNewsBreak: Russian jet passes near US warship

The US and Russia used to play games like this all the time.

When has a Russian fighter ever buzzed a US Destroyer 12 times for 90 minutes at 500ft?

there have probably been hundreds of incidents like this with both sides doing the buzzing. It means nothing. Now, if we had shot down the plane or the plane had shot at the destroyer, it would be a totally different thing.

The other question is if the fighter had "white ones on the rails" meaning real anti-ship weapons. besides those are launched miles away when skimming the water, they are useless when you are buzzing the target at 500ft.
 
WW3 anyone?





APNewsBreak: Russian jet passes near US warship

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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, U.S. military officials said Monday.

Looks like you armed chair warriors have never been in the military, During Vietnam the Russian planes used to fly over our warships and tail us with their war ships, stop being an hysterical little girls

The Russian fighter made 12 passes at 500ft..............12............and the U.S. Destroyer did not respond. After the first pass, the Captain of the U.S.S. Donald Cook should have activated his 'Phalanx Defensive Cannon' and neutralized the fighter. That would have sent a strong signal to Putin that we mean business and won't allow a threat to put our crews in jeopardy. What the Russians are doing is taunting putative president Obama, something that would never have happened in this situation under Reagan, Bush 1 and 2 or even if Palin was president. They are making this putative president look extremely weak on the international scene and it is a utter embarrassment to us all. In 2016 we need a strong pro-military president who will use common sense and take a strong stance on agression around the world when peaceful nations are threatened by hardline goverments.


They were in International airspace - "neutralizing" the Rusky would've been an act of war - True under Reagan and Gorbachev they probably wouldn't have taken that chance .

Do you think one of our fighters should buzz by a Russian Warship off the coast of Florida - Damn Straight they should ! do you think the Rusky would have the right to shoot it down ?
 
Reagan would not have allowed this situation to deteriorate this far

Bush I would have thrown up on Putin

Bush II would have already fired nuclear weapons

Palin would just keep an eye on things from her front porch

Jimmy Carter would've apologized and begged forgiveness

Bill Clinton would've sent Putiin a Cigar and offerred an exchange of interns

Hillary would simply have another Drink and look for a way to blame Bush
 
And here I thought you neocons were done.

Well, there's that. What little spine the One has, the RandianPaul's effectively cut off at the knees.

Nobody would notice a height difference since He ordinarily walks about on those knees whenever in the presence of foreign leaders.

In another era, the ruskie would have had an F-18 up his tailpipe. That was not a proud moment, nor was it the way a navy crew is supported.

True. But something that did happen under Reagan... suicide bombers in trucks detonate bombs and kill 241 American servicemen while they sleep via the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing... while Reagan watched. That's all.
