Lies, what's your fountainhead?

Russia will never engage in such reckless behaviour.

Both US and Russian commanders communicate regularly to avoid such incidents.


But if this truly happened, then Putin is biting more than he can chew


US no longer sees Russia as a threat or competitor, the focus is on China now

When you have over 4000 nuclear warhead ☢️ you are still a threat .

Dey play. If there's any country in the world that possesses both conventional and non-conventional firepower to pose a threat to the US, it is Russia.

US would not fancy starting a war with Russia except of course it is inevitable-mind you such a war would prove very costly to both nations.

Never you make the mistake of writing Russia off, don't use Russia's performance in the Ukraine War to rate Russia's military might because Russia Is not intent on obliterating Ukraine. Russia just wanted to make a statement to NATO and allies and so far the statement has being made brazenly.

Do you know what is international space? Education is not a scam o. Lol.

Use your head. There's international, and then there's " You have no business being here" international.

Wouldn't it be weird to see an American spy plane snooping around in the "international" waters of the Gulf of Guinea?

Reckless indeed.
A mere 2.4 miles(3.8 kilometres) seperate the US from Russia. Both nations share a physical border on the Bering Strait in the pacifc ocean.

The US is closer to Russia than Ghana is to Nigeria.

Pictured: Russian Su-27 multi-role 4th generation fighter jet flying over the Black Sea.

Two 🇷🇺 Russian Su-27 fighter jets shot at and struck the propeller of a 🇺🇸 U.S. military "Reaper" surveillance drone on Tuesday, causing it to crash into the Black Sea in an incident condemned as "reckless' by the U.S. military.

"Our MQ-9 aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the MQ-9," U.S. Air Force General James Hecker, who overseas the U.S. Air Force in the region, said in a statement.

“Two Russian Su-27 aircraft conducted an unsafe and unprofessional intercept with a U.S. Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance unmanned MQ-9 aircraft that was operating within international airspace over the Black Sea today.

At approximately 7:03 AM (CET), one of the Russian Su-27 aircraft struck the propeller of the MQ-9, causing U.S. forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters. Several times before the collision, the Su-27s dumped fuel on and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner.

This incident demonstrates a lack of competence in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional.



Russia is playing with fire. They always bank on the assumption that the United States will always act responsibly during any hostilities. It is a dangerous gamble as the US can respond in a way the Russia does not envisage.

And this Russia can not face the might of the United States with their rag tag soldiers.

The world is sitting on an edge.

You think US wouldn't have found an excuse to invade Russia if they could? US no fit try any rubbish with Russia.
Oya think am, Russia currently has 10,608 sanctions imposed on them by countries and corporate organisations but they're still thriving. Even the US will buckle under the pressure.

The poster is just being disingenuous, it wasn't a purported act, it was a reckless and unprofessional mistake from the russian pilot, the ambassador has been summoned and official statement confirming it was unintentional. Even if Putin is possessed with demons raging like Pitbull he won't dare to shoot down US manned drone or fighters jet let alone the one flying on international airspace. Don't mind the writer that made it seem like it is a confrontation.

How does international airspace become Russia territory?
What Russia did is an act of aggression and when America will react they will say America like war. They should be happy that it is not Trump that is on seat, they would have already felt the effects of this action before now

You are not wrong, however, how close or faraway (if you will) are the US borders from the "black sea?"

Simple question- " Where is the black sea?" In relation to the US?

I hope answering this question will help you understand my point.

If you know anything concerning the dynamics of this Russia/Ukraine war, you'll know even the US is impressed with the power of Russia. How many times has US engaged in a conventional war with another country without having their asses handed to them? Or you think a country-country war is the same as shooting goat-herders?
