Keep it up Putin and we will bomb you into the 12th century and shoot all your vast air force out of existence ... oh, wait, Obama is in office, never mind.

[SandRat]

Is Putin the new Stalin?

[Jack Hydrazine]

Too bad our interceptors aren’t equipped fast-drying florescent pink paint that we can release on them ala Sheriff Joe Arpaio!

We, the Free World, will have to face up to the fact that Russian violation of our airspace no longer can be seen as a set of single incidents.

We must recognize an obvious pattern.

By giving Ukraine 46 large, are we defacto declaring war on Russia? Why didn”t we give that earmarked to the Intl Red Cross or to NATO?

For a pres..ent that ran on not being the daddy policeman of the world, he’s sure spread us thin lately - Somalia + pointsunknown in Africa/ Afganistan/Iraq/Kurdistan/ Ukraine?

How many of our new illegals intend to dig deep, soldier up and fight?

One of the worst things to happen to the Western,civilized world in the last 30 years is for large deposits of oil and gas having been found in the USSR.Various countries in Western and Central Europe as well as the US and Canada have had their territory violated by Vlad Putin's USSR 2.0

And then we come to Georgia and Ukraine.

And people wonder why citizens of Poland and the Balkans are frightened beyond belief.

As far as I know, the scheduled overflights of the USA haven’t been ended.

Sheesh people, rent a clue!

Twitting the “opposing forces” is something all nations Air Forces do to each other. Nothing new. Not a major concern.

Some poor salaried OIC/NCOIC is forced to get dressed, go to the command post, and officially tell both sides to knock it off.

Then numerous military members get to waste days evaluating which, if any side, did something of any intelligence value beyond simple routine pointless posturing for political/civilian propaganda gains. Russian Bears were the worst! Dumb b--tards always came up empty, but they are pilots, and don't really care if the pointless propaganda mission works, as long as they get to fly an aircraft! The USAF is slightly more sophisticated, and does not generally allow bombers to buzz opposing forces.

We do give our fighter pilots much more leeway...which is why it's harder to become a fighter pilot than a bomber pilot.

Those interceptors should spook ‘em on into our airspace and shoot ‘em down.

[Jet Jaguar]

Active Duty ping.
