What’s CAP coverage?

[irishjuggler]

That’s seriously Kafkaesque.

[MercyFlush]

The Russians have always been overrated by our media, our detractors, and the Russians themselves. And every single time the Russians have been on the receiving end of their miscalculation.

CAP = Combat air patrol.

During the Cold War more than a few Russians went for a swim after thinking an unarmed aircraft was all alone.

[SaveFerris]

For sure. I noticed that too.

Kafkaesque

[SaveFerris]

Aww ya beat me to it

Good job

[lee martell]

Virtually kicking sand in Biden’s face.

[Dalberg-Acton]

All Democrat White House stenographers.

Was it really close like some of the recent asteroids or really close like “strike a match on its fuselage”?

[Godebert]

Exactly. The Guardian has the audacity to beg me for money.

[PghBaldy]

I was thinking about that incident recently too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainan_Island_incident

Comments are tuned off on that Army ad - imagine they would be horrendous.

Putin salesmanship. He needs to show off to sell his weapons

[MercyFlush]

Thank you for admitting that you’re a Russian.
