This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

China and little green aliens were flying “balloons” over the US. The US was flying drones over the Black Sea. It’s all game play.
There won’t be any WWIII. We have nukes, they have nukes, so they won’t be used. There’s no realistic conventional military threat from Russia in its current state, so there’s no reason to tolerate this. In fact, tolerating it will just encourage further escalation by the Russians. That’s actually what they are testing.
Good question. Answer....nothing.
Our drone was part of a defacto military attack on them. And last I heard, America is not at war with Russia. No Declaration of War, no War Powers Act notification in Congress. No Authorization for use of Military Force.
This is quite literally, Biden just doing as he pleases with absolute contempt for all US laws regarding going to war. I know it sounds comforting when it’s a cause you agree with...
But that is a hideously dangerous concept that can and will (and IS being used against we normal Americans)
ok ankle biter whatever!!!!
What do you expect our current national leadership to do?
Makes no difference what the drone was doing over international waters.
Would we have cause to shoot down their aircraft at the same spot that may
have been doing the very same thing? No.
At some point Russia needs to grow up and act like an adult.
This war is not on Russian territory.
Its a pusher....engine and prop at the rear....so difficult to flood it with dropped fuel...shoot it down.
Since the Su27 responsible supposedly also went down, send another drone back up with something they can’t see, like an F-22. Then let them try it again.
Our drone is gathering intel from international airspace. What’s next? Russia’s going to shoot down satellites?
I imagine the next drones will have F-22 or F-35 fighters flying cover for them. And then it’ll be your Russian friends suffering unfortunate accidents.
😁‼️
Open your eyes to what’s going on. Take a look at what’s running this shit show in DC. If you can casually dismiss the unprecedented, incredibly destabilizing escalation over the past year you have either completely bought into the laughable western disinfo or you are totally ignorant of history. I suggest you find an older world history book and inform yourself of the last 120 year history of this hell hole we have been blundered into. Never have we been closer to a nuclear exchange, not Berlin, not Cuba.
There are degrees of incompetence. Which side are you on?
What freaking idiot would put “environmentally unsound” in there?

Those 2 words say a lot about everyone involved in making that statement, and the military.
Horse manure. Each other’s nukes cancel each other out. We aren’t launching Barbarossa II, merely trying evict the Russian invaders from Ukraine. Russian conventional capabilities are far less than we thought. If Russia might go nuke over Ukraine, then the US should just announce the annexation of Taiwan.
Dude... relax. We are using them to feed targeting information to Ukraine. Nuland openly said so a few days ago. And neither you nor I know if it was in international airspace.
There has been a foolish game going on. Russia gets the normal 12 mile airspace and coastal limit around Crimea. We pretend Ukraine owns it and that we have Kiev’s permission to fly into it.
The summer before the war went loud, we sent a British warship within three miles of the coast. The Russians dropped bombs over the bow to make them leave the area.
I do know for certain... YOU, nor ME can know where this happened, or actually, what happened.
And we are going to send fighters to a drone and attack Russians that bother it? Did I miss a declaration of war? A war powers act notification? Anything?
LOLOL...really, I am. Thanks.
“What’s next?”
I KNOW!! Balloons!
LOL!!!
