“The drone in question was armed with 8 hellfire missiles”

False. The MQ-9A Reaper was not armed with Hellfires or anything else. Pure ISR.

Where did you pick up such balderdash?

Check out the reports, including photos. This was meant as a provocation.

NATO member Poland just announced that it was going to be doing
some armed flying around there. Biden wants war so bad he can taste it, and he doesn’t care who he drags into it or how many people die.

Putin wants to expand. He wants a big Russia, like the USSR. He is like Hitler after WWI. He wants to reclaim lost glory. So do other Russian nationalists.

It was unarmed. You were apparently looking of hoax photos of an armed Reaper. I follow minute to minute on military forums. The video taken from the SU-27 shows no weapons of any kind. Missiles would be slightly obvious hanging from the wing pylons.

An American battleship was sunk in Yaffe Harbor during the heat of the Six-day war. It was just there to observe, too. A missile went astray and killed a couple of farmers in Poland a few months ago. Sh!t happens in war-time.

Remember yesterday when Lindsay said ‘What would Reagan do?”
Graham should take a look back at the USS Stark which was hit by a missile
In the Gulf. We even had soldiers die during the incident. If there was ever a time to retaliate, it was then. But, Reagan did not. They are stirring up this outrage. I refuse to be their puppet and react on queue. And like you said, we were told the US was not fighting the war. That was ukraines drone. Not ours.

Xi needs to pick up that US drone from Putin, to reverse engineer it...

Your argument is that there are pro-Russian voices on FR? Gee, now everyone here thinks you’re stupid.

Nope

Just pointing out that some of your points were favorable to Russia.

Nothing personal.

My thing is Truth and facts.

We live in a post-truth world. Facts are impossible to come by, so good luck.

We are in the world, but not of the world.

Jesus is the TRUTH,the way and the life.

Facts are in the Bible.
