WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Russian military aircraft flew just 500 feet over two U.S. Navy ships this week as the ships participated in a joint military exercise with South Korea in the Sea of Japan, according to U.S. military officials.

And now Obama is bringing us back to those wonderful Jimmah Carter years?
The same thing happened when W was president, except it was a carrier, and W still saw the soul in Putin's eyes.
Captain should have smoked em.
500 ft.? He’s endangered his crew and ship.
This is not a f-en game.
And this happens after Hillary gives them a “Reset” button for a gift!
Wait, it said “over charged”? Maybe it REALLY said “over fly”!
Al the captain’s, general’s and admiral’s bals are kept in an office in the WH.
that is what I was thinking.. But what was our response back then? We just play games back or what?
Putie obviously misses “the good old days.”
Not with Reds in both the Kremlin and the White House.
They could sink one of our ships and The One would probably apologize for our ship running into their peaceful missile. The Messiah saves his vitriol for evil capitalist pigs and their running dog henchmen, the Republicans.
You mean KGB thug vs. Chicago thug. We must be careful whom we call or not call a thug. Give Obama a blank check, as we are doing now, and this country will soon resemble Russia.
All the Russian aircraft that buzzed us were closely followed by multitudes of carrier launched American aircraft. All just a game, a serious game, but a game nonetheless.
Bullshit...they were quickly intercepted by our Tomcats, and in most cases were ordered and not-so-kindly directed AWAY from the battle group. If they got too close, as a last resort the Tomcat driver would place his jet under the bomb-bay doors of the Bear or Backfire....
ANd then when leftist presidents like Obama ( Carter x 10) are forced by circumstance to acyually use force, they wring their hands for far too long while good, loyal,patriotic American service people die.
And thats how amateurs like Obama get into the habit of running a war and going against the counsel of military command.
All this is what the 500 foot fly overs indicate.
All that happens is that a Dept. of State Obot running dog stamps his or her feet in a hissy fit in diplodink protest, just like the Obot sleeper trolls have been doing here on FR on some of our threads. The Russians love that sound. It means extended "hegemony" to them.Look for a lot more of it.
And Canada is suffering from he same dynamic in the Canadian Northern reaches, and must go it alone. No chance that TOTUS ( Teleprompter of the United States) will help Canada against Russia, given Obama's recent trade decisions about taxing Canadian exports of oil and natural gas, nor any chance that Canada would accept such help even if offered.
No our pretend president is an ideological piece of work. I hope he will soon be writing his memoirs. He can then attempt to redefine his diplomatic policy and military failures, just as JImmuh Crack Cahtah has been doing for years.
No its not an f-en game, but to Obasket Case, it is nothing more than an ideological game in which all practicalities of the real world have been abandoned in a great experiment that will diminish US sovereignty, and cause the eventual deaths of many good servicemen and women.Clinton did the same in Somalia. Makes a person want to puke.
Anyone who voted for this POS president is a lamebrain, ignorant, or a treasonous libtard.
>The rest of the world views us a weak now that we have ZERO in the White House.<
That’s why it was pushing for Obama during the primaries hoping to wrap us around their little finger after the elections.
By that I just meant I’d rather have the Russians giving us crap than some gang of “freedom fighters” fighting for some nebulous idea with ramshackle bombs attached to their boats or stolen Cessnas.
Russian pilots buzzing us in actual Russian aircraft and then going back to the Russian Officers Club and laughing about it and drinking to it seems downright ... Civilized.
This is a test of the Messiah testing system. If this had been a real test.....

We are in deep s*#t....
“...W still saw the soul in Putin’s eyes.”
But that was only after a few beers and some good Texas BBQ. You would have done the same after the ribs and brisket.
That damned ‘Overcharge’ button.
We saw it coming. I hope we can make it through the next four years.
Check out the Rusian stoock market. They'll be broke first.
