More Serious

Shit’s more serious than I thought:

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.

In the first public account of the incident, the officials said the Russian Fencer made 12 passes, and flew within 1,000 yards of the USS Donald Cook, a Navy destroyer, at about 500 feet above sea level.

The U.S. warship issued several radio queries and warnings using international emergency circuits, but the Russian aircraft did not respond.

They actually want to provoke Americans into taking a shot.

This is not good.

I want to believe this was just a drunk pilot being goofy.

  1. Jesus. This is ridiculous. I don’t really think that Russia wants world war 3, but I do think they want to make America look ridiculous. Still… this is truly insane.
