Why is the United States always crying about the Russians Flying Too Close it’s like a bully picking on a wimp why not we just do it right back our Pilots are not good enough we got to show what our Pilots can do
And whose country are we bullying, all the time wailing about Unsafe! Unsafe!? We pretend that Russia is a threat to all of Europe and put military assets right on their border and expect them to act like perfect gentlemen about it. I suspect we wouldn’t be so nice if Russian tanks were on the Rio Grande performing military maneuvers. Who is the REAL aggressor here?
