“You’ve got a short memory.”
What EXACTLY did I say that would lead you to conclude I’m not aware that Soviet bombers have been probing our air space for many years? I simply said that Putin sees weakness in Obama and will continue to engage in not so subtle intimidation tactics against him. As a recent case in point, Putin’s outward disdain for Obama was publically evidenced at the G20 meeting in June, and back in May when he dismissively cancelled a meeting with him. The frequency and intensity of these incidents will likely increase. As I said, weakness always invites aggression.
I’m a veteran who has actually tracked many Soviet flights in the past. Suggest you not make unfounded assumptions before making gratuitious remarks.
