Better a drone than anything with a human being aboard.

Collision in airspace tells me both players were potentially flying recklessly. Was this Drone remote controlled?

Su-27 fighter jet intercepted and struck the propeller of a U.S. military MQ-9...

Struck it with what? A missile?

Did this happen in a War Zone?

NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, U.S. Army General Christopher Cavoli, briefed NATO allies about the incident, which was roundly condemned by the White House and the Pentagon -- which warned of the risk of escalation.

The utter hubris.

The Battle of the Balloons was what? Trump was right. No sense starting a war over a piece of unmanned hardware.

Not sure what exactly happened here. We will likely get propaganda from both sides. It seems fighter jets should have the right of way over drones.

If I was in a fighter jet and saw a drone on a potential collision course or even near the jet I would want to take it out. Bye bye drone.

The Black Sea is on the other side of the world. Russia probably believes, whether true or not, the drones were doing recon for Ukraine. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Was our drone pilot gay? This was a pretty serious event if so.

This whole charlie foxtrot will escalate to WW3. This war is a necessity for global governance and the great reset.
