We were trying to provoke this. The drone in question was armed with 8 hellfire missiles and was close enough to the coast that it could have struck Russian targets in almost no time.

The Russians didn’t shoot it down - although it probably would have been a legitimate target - but just impeded its operations.

Why does Biden want a war?

Because his donors want it?

It’s pretty simple (and very funny). See my #28:

“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?
