World War III Watch: Russian Pilot Tries to ‘Dogfight’ American Jets to Provoke US
The Gateway Pundit ^ | April 29, 2023 | Cristina Laila

A Russian pilot tried to ‘dogfight’ American jets over Syria in an effort to provoke the US.

Russian pilots have been buzzing US fighter jets over the last several weeks.

This is the new norm under a Joe Biden presidency.

A nuclear power is trying to provoke the US and draw us into World War 3.

In March two Russian Su-27 aircraft attacked a US Reaper drone and dumped fuel on the drone over the Black Sea.

CNN reported:

Russian pilots tried to “dogfight” US jets over Syria, according to a spokesman for US Central Command, part of a recent pattern of more aggressive behavior.

The attempts have happened in several of the most recent instances of aggressive behavior from Russian pilots, Col. Joe Buccino said.

The Russian pilots do not appear to be trying to shoot down American jets, a US official told CNN, but they may be trying to “provoke” the US and “draw us into an international incident.”

In military aviation, dogfighting is engaging in aerial combat, often at relatively close ranges.

A video released by US Central Command from April 2 shows a Russian SU-35 fighter jet conducting an “unsafe and unprofessional” intercept of a US F-16 fighter jet.

“Provoke Russia? That’s all the west has done since 2000.”

Great propaganda comrade. You might find a few Americans dumb enough to believe it.

It seems if they weren’t there the oil field would become a income stream for somebody else.

If the “Evil 5” REALLY want a “hot nuclear war” all they have to do is push SEND to their nuclear launch codes.

Perhaps you need to defect to your favorite Shining City on a Hill — and exit this den of imperial degeneration

Haha you’re right about how Freepers are posting now!

Only thing the other poster was missing was to call us “imperialist running dogs”

The Russia bots and Putin lickspittles on FR have cleverly used our well-placed suspicion of, and animus towards, the Deep State as a way to stifle critism of Putin.

Putin is a former KGB spymaster and thug. Do we really need more than that to suspect his motives?

What a bunch of pussies. Where have they been in the 1980s? Whatever interception was safe once you was able to walk away from the wreck.

That incident was shameful. They were there killing ISIS, which is ostensibly OUR mission too. Attacking that Russian force was a tacit admission that we are not there to fight ISIS. We are there to overthrow Assad or failing that, break away an oil rich are of the country to give to our favored group.
In actuality we rained down hate on Russians, the Syrian Army, you name it. But ISIS never seems to be the target list. When they rolled all over Syria and Iraq in daylight convoys on MSRs it should have looked like the Stukas over Dunkirk but curiously, nothing flew. As Sherlock Holmes called it, it was “the dog that did not bark”.

What have we been there, basically twice as long as World War II now?

DC can’t wait to shoot at white Christians attacking our ISIS. And they were not attacking a SF base. They were going after a rebel group. We carefully put a few SF guys with all of them to ensure nobody can shoot our jihadi rebels without endangering an American.

Thankfully this shameful Syrian chapter is coming to a close. The Saudis and Iranians have buried the hatchet and the Saudis are opening an embassy in Syria and invited the Iranian ambassador to attend the ceremony. Erdogan and Assad have come to an accord also. And Syria is being readmitted into the Arab League.

We created the ISIS/FSA/Al Nusra/SDF to overthrow Assad. Our ISIS got out of hand and had to get reigned in. But basically our effort failed and nobody want’s us there anymore.

All we accomplished in creating that war was kill around a half a million people, destroy the place, empower Iran, and send 5. million refugees into Europe.
