If you think 30 feet off the deck of a US warship is “international airspace”, we don’t need your “insight”.

That was an act of war.

We should have shot them down and alerted to DEFCON 1.

I’d say it’s more like Putin laughing in obummers face and daring him to do something about it.

You have zero idea of the facts. First of all, yes 30 feet is indeed international airspace. Maybe you would like to explain the TFR regulating airspace above a ship in international waters. (Pro tip, there isn’t one)

Look, we all miss the cold war. It’ll be ok.

LOL. I see Barry and the Neocons have convinced some folks the Cold War they were so intent on restarting should be fought by different rules, like, "We Nuke You, Bassard" the same as the Norks do.

Sorry, but this stuff went on for decades and going to DEFCON 1 over it would have been completely stupid then just like doing so would be completely stupid now.

Kerry and his pals in the White Hut and at State think they're dealing with a whole new world when in reality the only thing that's new is the degree the people in charge in DC believe their own propaganda and consequently live in a world of illusion rather than living in reality.

General Buck Turgidson, is that you?

Or maybe you’re Captain Eric Finlander of the USS Bedford?

If the military was as insane as you are we’d all be dead and radioactive right now.
