Come one man....they struggle with getting their “R”s facing in the right direction. Don’t expect them to understand confusing things like “airspace.” //sarc

As I see it. Its a very warranted act of defense

Not sure why some FReepers cannot get their heads around the simple concept of international air space.

FReepers can get their head around the idea of international waters. They can’t trust their own government to be in international waters even if they claim to be. The Black Sea is not that big. If Russia is claiming Crimea, there is little room in the Black Sea for international waters. And by the way, if the Drone was within 200 miles of Ukraine than that drone was an enemy combatant. And the US has entered the war.

But whether the US was or was not in international waters is not really the point. The US is openly aiding the Ukraine with materials, weapons and intelligence. We are not just flying past. We have admitted all this. So the Russians are at war with us. They just need us to stay out. Our population will not support a war because a drone got injured. In fact I am not sure the US could raise an army to go to war at all. There are large costs when a government looses the trust of their people. And one of them is that men will not fight. Conservatives are the ones that normally join the army. But many see the American Generals as lying warmongers. I bet a draft would produce a lot of American expats.
