GNOMEY you really ridiculous.
Yes it`s RUSSIA of cause tried to push all buttons, like turkish f-16.
Why Russia Resents Us

On the contrary, you're ridiculous for reading that crap.

The USS Cook was on excercizes with Polish helicopter units NORTH of Polish territorial waters. The Russians are using the proximity of their precious little enclave as an excuse. Two years ago, the USS Cook was off Bulgaria's territorial waters, heading to Romania when the Russians pulled the same stupidity.

The stupidity entails violating an international treaty that calls for an exclusion zone around military assets. When a ship or aircraft stray into teritorial water/airspace, it is customary to intercept by communication and a possible escort.

However, approaching a naval vessel in an attack pattern AND refusing to communicate is not an intercept, it is a threat.

And Approaching another aircraft within several feet is for airshows and requires a hreat deal of skill, practice and trust. Doing it around unfamiliar aircraft, especially tankers and aircraft of comparable size is dangerous, foolish and begging for a terrible outcome.

As far as Putin's "keep your spyplanes and ships a repectable distance", is bullsh!t. How often has the U.S. cried about russian subs and ships off the west and east coast? How often to U.S. fighters to acrobatics around the Russian bombers when the cruise along the west coast of the U.S.?

Did you know that the Russians just had a joint military exersize off the coast of Florida with a couple south American navies? How many F-16s conducted a hazerdous flyby? None. Was there any bed-wetting because Russian ships were nearby? Nope.

One of these days, a Russian pilot is going to push it a little too far and start some serious trouble.

So Putin is such a putka that he's afraid of a few hundred NATO soldiers and a handful of U.S. tanks?

Makes sense really, he couldn't even take the Ukraine with all the tricks he tried.

I agree .... Putin's behavior is a sure sign that things are not well in the Russian economy

This has nothing to do with the conversation - perhaps I should post random article about Russian organized crime and Russian traffic mortalities just to be as random?

That is the biggest propeganda bullsh!t ever...

U.S. sailors do not act like that, U.S. sailors are professionals AND certainly not afraid of anything that Russia has or does.

The USS Cook's AETHIS radar did not "blank out", the U.S. sailors weren't frightened and the Sukhoi that buzzed the Cook didn't have a magical basket of pixie dust that disable the AETHIS system. Even the Russian radar-jamming developer officially stated that none of the radar-jamming devices were on the Sukhoi that day.
