“People are saying to shoot them down and start a war and stuff like that.”
Yeah, I hear women say that all the time. Sure.

Well, back before you were born, this happened all the time. As in A LOT. Reagan didn’t shoot them down for flying close.
Ships even rubbed paint.
But so many today really think war is exciting and cool. We would have never made it through the cold war if we shot at a plane that just flew close.
But to the pussified modern USN I’m sure an airshow was horrifying.

So you are calling the USN pussies because of what you happened to read in the Daily Mail?

it’s a metaphor for panic-driven overreaction
To: Kirkwood; DesertRhino
also, Desert Rhino, when did you stop beating your wife?
To: Kirkwood
Oh no, not because of that! The list is quite long. And it goes back to the Tailhook in the early 90s. Before that there were other reasons, but those were truthfully just brotherly squabbling with the lesser sea service

Then it surely applies to you because I read no posts that were panic driven overreactions except for yours.

You need to get out more. I did not suggest anything except that in the cold war this was no big deal. Happened all the time.

Pity the Ruskie didn’t clip his wing on the ship and splash himself.
Macho idiots.

I would be extremely surprised if they were not painted the whole time they were in range.

Three reasons why the US swabs did not respond:
- One-fourth of the crew was enjoying consenual LGBT sex;
- One-fourth of the crew was in throes of a menstrual cycle;
- One-fourth of the crew was in, or close to, labor; and,
- One-fourth of the crew was high on drugs.

A plane goes by and everyone today goes chicken little :)Really. The Russian pilots were probably just having fun.
Used to happen all the time in the cold war.
A chance for pilots from both sides to wave and take pictures.

We are totally head clonking blind to the provocations of NATO done on behalf of the globalist banking Wall St. and City of London ruling class aristocracy who want to complete the job of looting the Russian economy that they started in 1990. Wake the hell up and watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbEu-OLMKLQ
