The aggravating thing is that we should be fighting alongside the Russians against ISIS. What could have been a closing of the gap between the two countries is in danger of being just the opposite. The best prospects for everybody can only come by hustling this son of a bitch out of the WH.

Obama-Hillary-Kerry incompetence and weakness on foreign policy have managed to bring back the Cold War. Good job, knuckleheads!

Maybe they thought they were flying over the USS Obama? No fears.

Remember the improved relations with Russia that came as a result of the reset button?

Maybe the reset button only works on land.

It seems leading from behind entails
surfing the wake of the bigger boys.
For a rudderless ship of state like ours,
that means you don’t get to decide
where you’re going.

Very true. In so many ways (radical islam, China, etc.), the U.S. and Russia would seem to be natural allies. And back when Yeltsin was Russia's president, maybe that could have happened. But the opportunity was lost.

Any overture now to Putin would just be seen as a sign of weakness, and something to be exploited.

Yes. Or if Obama had less chutzpah a bullet to be bitten for everybody’s benefit.

We will never have real peace with Russia if you believe in bible prophecy. They along with persia/iran and numerous other countries attack Israel. They do have a strong leader but he is a KGB murderer and hate the US and the west and always will. If they could get away with destroying us and removing us from the equation dont think for a minute that they would not. They are some good Russian folks but their government like ours is a problem.

Since I don’t believe in bible prophecy,
I’ll lurch along with the events at hand
as best I can...

This is just Putin being Putin. If I’m not mistaken, those were prop planes - how fast could they have been going? Seems like just a probe to see what the response would be. “This. Is. USA. Military. Operations. Zone. YOU GO NOW!

I couldn’t find either Russia or the Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti in my concordance. I guess I need to find the version that has two chosen nations in it.

How in hell did they even allow them within 1 mile of the carrier? They should have launched aircraft when 1. they saw them coming straight toward them and 2. why did then not launch aircraft when the radar showed them within 10 miles of the carrier?

Politically correct Navy is the answer for they were too afraid of “rocking the boat of Political Correctness” and being blamed for taking the actions they were trained to take.

Our armed forces are at the total mercy of hostile forces because no one can act except upon approved orders from PC officers.
