According to the Pentagon, the Russian fighter swooped in to follow the U.S. aircraft while in international airspace—an acceptable precaution after identifying a foreign jet, even though the P-8A had its transponders on. However the Russian jet crossed in front of the U.S. plane from right to left, the Pentagon told CNN, engaging its afterburners, thereby prompting the U.S. Poseidon to spanner into "a 15-degree roll and violent turbulence."
The Russian military subsequently confirmed that the intercept over international waters did take place but did not address the accusation that the maneuver was unsafe or reveal other details about the incident, state news agency Itar-Tass reported.

Also speaking to state news agency RIA Novosti, the retired deputy commander of Russia’s air force, Nikolay Antoshkin, dismissed the U.S. reaction.
“Our jet simply indicated, approached, the airman had a look and demonstrated that [the Poseidon] must leave,” Antoshkin, said on Tuesday.
“Americans have nothing to do in the Black Sea. This is an enclosed sea,” Antoshkin said, lamenting that in Soviet times, when Moscow controlled all but Turkey’s ports in the Black Sea, foreign air forces did not fly freely above the waters.

Because American run globalism is a moral force in the universe.
Black Sea is international waters - anyone can fly there as long as they stay a certain distance off shore of the bordering countries. A look at the map shows that it is enclosed by multiple countries not just Russia and Turkey.
Why bases in Romania?
Sure sign of collusion.....
If we had American run Globalism, the world would be American. We played the world war game twice and gave all the chips back twice.
Only nation in history to NOT play imperialist when we won the war. Despite what your liberal arts teacher said.
Reality is such a bitch, huh?
Bwahahahaha.
Hey Ivan. Bite me.

Hard to discuss a point with a man who does not know the meaning of the words.
Look up imperialist, what other kingdoms serve us?
Do we rule Japan and Germany.
Or do you have to micro agress to create your facts?
Face it, you are brainwashed.
Ever been to Japan or Germany? I have, they are no vassal state?
It’s not that liberals do not know anything, it’s that so muck that they know is wrong “
What is amusing is that you do not think before you post.

That happened many times in the Cold War, the Soviets shot down lots of US recon aircraft.
Even in international airspace?
You are losing this one. You remind me of my Lib Brother.
Wants to know why we can have forces in Poland but Russia cannot have forces in Mehico.
In some cases yes. There was an article yesterday in RealClear History section on that stated at least 200 US airmen were lost when the Soviets shot down their recon aircraft.
You are like a cheap lawyer. Go put words in someone else’s mouth.
That would be equivalent to Russian ships in the Great Lakes, wouldn’t it?
They could, but they have not been invited.
BINGO!
Good grief, you must be some globalist do-gooder not to see the problem.
No but I did spend many years addressing the problem during the “cold war”.
Russia is violently expansionist, and would gladly follow in Hitler footsteps if not held in check. Just chat with any Ukrainian someday about how they love that Mother, Russia.
