Provoke Russia? That’s all the west has done since 2000.
The way things are currently going, I’m more inclined to this being a counter-counter-provocation, where the “US”/DSC wants to bait the Ruskies into a WW3 scenario, and with projection, blame Rus for starting what the “US”/DSC wants.
All part of Agenda 21
Looking at the list of belligerents (and the supporters) in the Syrian civil war (now going on for over a decade) is headache-inducing.
From the article:
“In March two Russian Su-27 aircraft attacked a US Reaper drone and dumped fuel on the drone over the Black Sea.”
I’ve been waiting for a post to make an observation; I look at Flightradar24 periodically every day. I saw the drones over the Black Sea, very regularly. They don’t do that anymore. I have not seen one over the Black Sea since that one went down. They stay over Romania along the coast. In other words, the Russians won that one.
Rules of Engagement are F.A.A.F.O.
Let’s take out Putin and Xi.
Preemptive.
Why not?
1) I don’t believe anything the media says.
2) I don’t believe anything the government says.
3) I don’t think there is a chance in the world that Russia WANTS a hot war with the US, nuclear or otherwise.
4) I think the Biden Administration (whomever that is) might want a hot war with somebody.
LOL. “Provoking” a US Jet over Syria - a country 5000 miles from US borders, which doesn’t want us there, whose leaders the likes of Obama and McCain using Islamist proxies tried overthrow, whereby the ensuing destruction caused created the largest migrant/refugee flow into Europe since WWII.
I forget one important point though - in the eyes of DC deep-staters, our borders are not in Texas or Arizona. They are now in Ukraine, Syria and Taiwan.
Who invited the US to overfly Syria?
Russian planes are in Syria at the invitation of the Syrian government which the US has tried to topple, creating a massive refugee crisis, a working space for Islamic fundamentalists, and horrible results for civilians. US planes are in Syrian airspace nominally to combat the Islamic extremists (the bad ones, not the ones we trained and armed).
(I’m not pro-Assad but we do not have clean fingers to point at the Russians).
“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.”
They always sound so pussified when they make that same statement. If you pinch your nose shut when you say it, it would sound about right.
Anyway, they are there at the invitation of teh Syrian government and we aren’t there under anything legal. But in any case, we are supposedly there to fight ISIS, right?
That is why the Syrian government has the Russians there.
In reality, our isolated force there is designed only to support ISIS/FSA/Al Nusra/SDF, or whatever they call it this week in order to overthrow Assad.
“A second video from April 18 shows a Russian fighter that violated coalition airspace and came within 2,000 feet of a US aircraft, a distance a fighter jet can cover in a matter of seconds.”
There is no such entity as “coalition airspace” over Syria. And a US fighter pilot complaining that an adversary fighter came within 2000 feet is a complete pussy. (”Adversary” because the Russian jet is there to fight the Syrian rebels)
I don’t worship Trump but this sort of thing definitely did not happen when he was in office.
It would never have gotten to this point. Either because of diplomacy or a firm response.
Now we are a joke.
Hell, next the Russians will fly balloons over us, too.
“This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”
So what?
Last I heard, "American Jets" were non autonomous machinery and cannot be provoked.
Clutching pearls and feeling faint. Somebody hold me.
video .... what video?
We should not be in Syria. We are collapsing HERE, NOW.
