Kerry: We Could Have Shot Down The Russian Jet That Buzzed A US Destroyer by mazeltov(m): 8:11pm On Apr 16, 2016 |
(REUTERS/Charles Mostoller) U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry delivers a speech on the nuclear agreement with Iran, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 2, 2015. US Secretary of State John Kerry condemned a simulated attack on a US destroyer in the Baltic Sea by Russian warplanes in an interview with CNN. “We condemn this kind of behavior. It is reckless. It is provocative. It is dangerous. And under the rules of engagement that could have been a shoot-down,” said Kerry. “People need to understand that this is serious business and the United States is not going to be intimidated on the high seas … We are communicating to the Russians how dangerous this is and our hope is that this will never be repeated,” Kerry continued. The commander of the USS Donald Cook, the destroyer that the Russian Su-24 Fencer jets repeatedly buzzed, described the actions as "unsafe and unprofessional," and the type of thing that can lead to an accident. Simulated attack passes such as these most likely violate a 1973 agreement between the US and the former Soviet Union. However, the Russian jets were visibly unarmed and at no point emitted any electronic signatures that would indicate they were attempting to lock a missile on to the US Donald Cook. Speaking about the incident, retired frigate and cruiser commanding officer Capt. Rick Hoffman gave a differing opinion, stating that the jets posed no real threat, and that the stunt was most likely undertaken for the Kremlin to spin it as domestic propaganda. View gallery (Thomson Reuters) An U.S. Navy picture shows what appears to be a Russian Sukhoi SU-24 attack aircraft flying over the U.S. guided missile destroyer USS Donald Cook in the Baltic Sea Russia's Defense Ministry characteristically denied any wrongdoing regarding the event, saying, "All flights of the Russian aircraft are in strict compliance with international rules of the use of air space above neutral waters." Kerry made it clear during the interview that his sentiments would be shared with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/kerry-could-shot-down-russian-154120185.html |

Wait a minute! I thought Missy89 once said that this story was debunked? Missy, If you keep defending Amerika & her evil ways, you will lose your credibility - and losing your credibility is like losing your virginity - You can only lose it once. mazeltov: Tell Kerry to stfu! Until Amerika desists from poking her filthy nose into the affairs of every Nation, she will always be intimidated, not only on the high seas, but also in the air. 2 Likes |

I no sabi say John Kerry stupid like this oh, Shooting that jet could have been a declaration of war, Cos, the Russians will also destroy the Donald Cook, And maybe America will signal a Nato call to arms, And Russia, seeing itself being surrounded by Enemies with No allies, will take the 'Samson Option'(if i die, my enemies die too), And bring out it nuclear bombs, And dem get am plenty enough to share for all the Nato countries. |

Zoharariel:How is the US poking it's nose on the Baltic sea? Last I checked,the United States has rights of passage on the Baltic Sea as a NATO force.Moreover the Baltic is a neutral water as Sergei Lavrov clearly stated.Isn't it Russia that is fermenting trouble? Come January 2017,all these will be stopped.That am sure of. 1 Like |

fineguy11: Killary would have been sworn in as president and then proceed to kicking Russia's butt as Obama has woefully failed in that department. Well, all I can say is, if several cities in Europe and the United States are ready to be reduced to radioactive dust, by all mean sir, by all means! Sanctions are falling short of the desired objectives - and time is running out; provocations aren't getting them Ruskies to act irrationally; Russia in the middle of all these even launched a military campaign; massive propaganda of "Russian aggression" and complicity in criminal acts is failing woefully - people just ain't buying it; Putin seems to always be several steps ahead of his Western counterparts in tact, decisiveness and strategy; and so on........ True, true, agbada don hook for barb wire 2 Likes 1 Share |
