Russian Fighter Jets Make Simulated Attack On US Destroyer Passing 40ft Overhead--Obama Does Nothing

As I said a few hours ago:

Wow...

Nothing screams awkward attempt to change the topic like spamming Paintbrush images.

2.11.2008 - Russian bomber buzzes U.S. aircraft carrier

They don't think Bush needs to be remembered for the gigantic list of stupid s%&t he did. They just want to forget it. Like all the attacks on US Embassis during Bush's terms or the people that were killed, and the lack of ANY investigation into any of them.

Conervatives have given up, they know the only tool they have left is lying. So they lie about everything.

Exactly how do you think Pres. Obama should respond to the situation? .....

He should obviously start WW3 over this.

There is an apparently true story that two Russian early warning radar operators did not start World War Three back in the eighties.
Wikipedia:"On 26 September 1983, the nuclear early warning system of the Soviet Union twice reported the launch of American Minutemanintercontinental ballistic missiles from bases in the United States. These missile attack warnings were correctly identified as a false alarmby Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov, an officer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces. This decision is seen as having prevented a retaliatory nuclear attack based on erroneous data on the United States and its NATO allies, which would have likely resulted in nuclear warand the deaths of hundreds of millions of people. Investigation of the satellite warning system later confirmed that the system had malfunctioned."
These guys looked at each other, correctly reasoned that America would not start a war by sending such a feeble attack, and did the right thing.
Would Russia declare a shooting war by sinking one little American ship? Why would anyone with the intelligence necessary to be made a captain think that likely?

Well once again our weakened PC Obama led Navy allows the United States to be a complete embarrassment to the world.

The Russians could actually attack and Obama would do nothing.

What do you expect him to do? Shoot down Russian planes? The Ruskies look like the fools here. This is just the best reason to NOT vote for Trump. That hothead would order our navy to shoot down the Russian Planes and the next thing you know we and the Russians would all be blown to radioactive red mist. You people are as dumb as a bag of hammers. Grow the fuck up.

You are an imbecile. Are you really desiring a ballistic missile exchange with the commies? Vote for the Donald and maybe you will get your wish.

Remember Obama mocking Romney for saying Russia was an advisary? The 80's call Obama about every week now.

so much for the reset(overcharge) button

On the same ship as 2 years ago. USS Donald Cook has what the CO called, 'aggressive' attack runs by the MIGS. Like Obama's red line was nothing other than a yellow belly line of surrender, not one country respects the US anymore.

"Aggressive" Russian Fighter Jets Buzz US Warship; Navy Releases Videos

In a rerun of what happened two years ago when in April 2014 a Russian Su-24 fighter jet flew repeatedly within 1000 yards of a US warship, CNN reports that the Pentagon is furious that while sailing in the Baltic Sea, US warship the USS Donald Cook had two "extremely close overflights" by unarmed Russian fighter jets.

According to the initial reports, two concerning encounters occurred Tuesday night in international waters. A third overflight, at a more acceptable distance, happened Sunday, according to the source.



CNN adds that the ship, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, also had a Polish helicopter on board as part of routine training, according to the official, leading to some speculation in military circles that the Russians were also "sending a message to Poland," the official said.

Navy officials are not commenting publicly, but inside the Pentagon there is an intense discussion about releasing video and still photos of the Russian encounter to demonstrate the danger the jets posed to the ship, a U.S. official told CNN.

A U.S. official described the Russian maneuver as "strafing runs" without firing any weapons. The unarmed Russian aircraft swooped in over the deck in the same flight profile that would have been used if an attack was underway.

A second U.S. defense official told CNN that the overflights were conducted by a Russian SU-24 and helicopter. Flight operations by the Polish helicopter were interrupted because one of the overflight was so close.

EUCOM added some additional details moments ago:

On April 12, while Donald Cook was operating in international waters in the Baltic Sea, a Russian KA-27 Helix helicopter conducted circles at low altitude around the ship, seven in total, at approximately 5 p.m. local. The helicopter passes were also deemed unsafe and unprofessional by the ship's commanding officer. About 40 minutes following the interaction with the Russian helicopter, two Russian SU-24 jets made numerous close-range and low altitude passes, 11 in total.

CNN reports that the Cook had been shadowed by a Russian intelligence-gathering ship for some time before the aircraft encounter. The U.S. crew had radioed the Russian ship that it was conducting routine operations, according to the official.

The Pentagon is livid because while there have been encounters between US ships and aircraft and Russian counterparts, this time Russia appears to have gone too far according to CNN sources.

Moments ago the US Navey released the following photos of the overflights.

The US guided missile destroyer has the continuous wave illuminators at Air Ready and not assigned to the MIG's. The MIG's attacked from the deck and probably lost in sea return so evidently their search radar did not pick them up.

unlikely he was blind to the navy

they knew he was there

probably before he knew he was there

I think obama called it, "unprofessional."

Hilarious.

 

[tyroneweaver]

First of all Obama needs to see this on the TV News before he knows it happened.
Then He needs to be to be told what to do about it or not do about it from Valerie Jarrett.

I also saw a story this morning about how China has been building up military units on Islands
in the South China Sea..

China building new radar system in South China Sea: think-tank

The report I saw this morning says a lot of maritime traffic passes through
this area and once China controls it....
Well we can guess what will happen then.

Also gives them opportunity to spy on American operations in the area.

 

[Kondor3]

Exactly how do you think Pres. Obama should respond to the situation? .....

Find a Russian warship at-sea and fly a simulated strafing run over IT?

And....you think we don't?

Link?

21 years experience. What's your experience?

2.

What difference?

Link?

I'm ok with the response.....

 

[pwjohn]

Really ? Was the destroyer supposed to shoot them down?

YES! This navy captain needs to explain himself...big time. I was aboard a carrier in the 90s and those jets would not have gotten withing 25 miles of our ship. Yes they would have been shot down.

Maybe in the movies.lol

What do you expect him to do? Shoot down Russian planes? The Ruskies look like the fools here. This is just the best reason to NOT vote for Trump. That hothead would order our navy to shoot down the Russian Planes and the next thing you know we and the Russians would all be blown to radioactive red mist. You people are as dumb as a bag of hammers. Grow the fuck up.

No, the RWrs are cheering the Russians here. Anything they can shoehorn into their "Obama bad" drawer is great.

 

[rightwinger]

So the US sends a destroyer to 70 km from a Russian naval base and they send a plane to buzz the destroyer

Same game we have played for decades

Grow up? After you soiled your diapers like that? All you did was project your own inadequacies. The Russians are only doing it because they know there will be no consequences. I'm sure Trump would have people in the know, that are probably fit to be tied, to give him his options.
