The Russian jet was escorting another Russian jet. They are on a mission. We try to surveil them and a near collision occurs? And it’s their fault?
Sounds to me like perhaps the American jet is the one that got too close.
Trump needs to sit down with Putin after the election and hammer out a compromise both sides can live with. Pounding on the table isn’t going to instantly reverse two decades of bad decisions under both Bush and Obama. Restoring some semblance of peace and security needs to be the priority at this point.
The West needs to be on the same page with regard to the middle east. We can no longer afford this Cold War II nonsense- the stakes are just too high at this point.
