ZRod Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Eh... Russia does something like this to the US and other NATO countries almost every month. It's nothing new, it's been happening since the Cold War I would think. 1 Link to comment

But, their article made it sound like it has picked up in the last couple of years. Link to comment
ZRod Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I mean this is from 2014 and there are 39 incidents between Russian and NATO countries... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/full-list-of-incidents-involving-russian-military-and-nato-since-march-2014-9851309.html%3famp It's probably a combination of; old habits (the US and Soviet Union routinely "violated" each other's airspace and waters during the cold war, to deadly ends), Putin flexing his muscles because that's what he thinks he has to do, and Putin flexing his muscles due to NATO's encroachment on his front door step. The latter is something we tend to gloss over in the west, but when we pressure a country with sanction, military posturing, and other political threats they're going to push back... Be it Iran, Russia, China, or NK. Link to comment

knapplc Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Welp, the Ukrainians are doing an investigation, just like Trump wanted. Just... not the investigation Trump wanted. 3 Link to comment

He wasn't willing to go that far on television methinks Link to comment
