“They keep trying to gin up another Tonkin Gulf incident.”
This crap used to go on all the time and now it’s happening again. There’s no need for anyone to fake this kind of thing.
But if this is how the Russians want to play then next time the Navy guys will have CAP coverage and it will not end well for Ivan. Hope the bastards can swim.

You seem to be losing sight the “bastards” are highly trained soldiers. They aren’t the typical 3rd worlder militaries our forces are used to dealing with. Also remind yourself the most challenging combat decions they are faced with now is which lipstick matches their uniforms, and I’m referring to the males.
What’s CAP coverage?
