Russia is playing a very dangerous game of intimidation, with military planes threatening U.S. ships and aircraft that are in international waters or airspace. Their objective is to embarrass the U.S. and to show NATO allies that the U.S. is a paper tiger, unwilling or unable to respond to the overt aggression shown recently against the U.S.
Russia has already annexed a portion of Ukraine called Crimea, and it seems to be threatening NATO forces in certain other areas in order to project strength and control.
So far, the Obama administration has done nothing to stop the actions other than to complain to the Russians and the world press. The Russians understand strength, not complaints, and they have clearly made Obama and the United States look impotent and unwilling to protect and support allies. Even more surprising, not only are the Russians overtly challenging the U.S., but they are making claims about who is at fault, claims that are clearly untrue.
Russians make ridiculous claims, page 2:
Then don’t buzz our ships
I think their doing everything their doin everything they can to get us to shoot, then it will be our fault, their smart not to shoot!!!
Oh you mean the USA is not the boss everywhere we go in the world?
They should have shot that plane down and sent a clear message not to screw with the US, but no lets look like scared little kids so the rest of the world can continue to laugh at us. How can maintain world respect when you allow things of this nature to happen with no consequences?
They know Obama won’t do a damn thing!
This is a call 4 OBAMA TOO CALL 4 A GOLF GAME IN HAWAII
