US already started it by blowing up the nordstream pipeline. Biden's war mongers are at work for their pockets.

It is now direct. No longer indirect. Now let's the fight begin! Trust America to retaliate and call it mistake or accident. You will hear some headline like, "USA mistakingly brought down a Russian bound Aircraft hovering around US marine territory thinking it was Pakistani war plane" lol 😁.

Not true. Trump is not a neocon whose interests lie in US war economy with defense contracts, which is what is driving Biden’s foreign policy.

Trump has always advocated for (even before becoming president) cooperation between US and Russia because of the MAD doctrine due their nuclear weapons arsenal. But he was setup and investigated for colluding with Russia, which stopped him from pursuing any such cooperation.

Trump tackled China but kept Russia at arms length to keep Russia and China separate. Biden came and United them creating a very precarious situation for the west, and by secondary involvement, the world.

Happy times are indeed ahead.

If God do not overthrow this generation of vipers with hell that burns with brimstone then he has to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah indeed. If you want to save your head and loved ones, start living completely for Jesus and his Gospel. Learn from what just happened in Nigeria with our lofty cashless policy. That's God trying to teach you and I how Revelation 13:16-18 will look like by the time it begins to play out. See you in Paradise Sir and Ma'a.

I am sorry, I am not following you down the rabbit hole.

You all sit down and imagine a war between Russia and US, and in your head, Russia will always defeat any military forces against it. I wont dissipate energy with people that hold this position.

Once again, I am not engaging you on this subject. Thanks


am sorry, I am not following you down the rabbit hole.


Exactly. Just stay in your cracks and crevices and manage your misfortunes. Its not pride. Its called contentment.

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.



It was a collision, not a shootdown.

.... This op no get sense Sha..... Which bullet them take "shoot" am down?? It was not shut down.... They dumped aviation oil on the propeller which made the reaper to malfunction forcing the naval forces to perform an emergency landing for the UAV.... It wasn't shot down.... Shooting down the UAV will be an act of war.... But the Russians can claim this was a mistake as it's an international space where both forces have to coexist

Watched it on Tv.The news clearly states it was at The part of the Black sea surveillance overhead specifically at the part of the Black sea overhead Russia-Crimea borders. and not at the part of the Black sea hovering overhead Turkey border or overhead Georgia border.
Last time l checked, CRlMEA is Russian federation (annexed back 2014). Only humans from Russia are allowed to pay excursion there and Crimea is heavily protected by Russian forces.

One of the persons I responded to stated that the Black Sea belonged to Russia which is patently untrue.

2nd of all what TV station did you get your information from?

Na black sea specifically hovering towards over C.r.i.m.e.a airspace surveillance things , and not hovering over Blacksea/Turkey side or Blacksea/Georgia side. You can google the news yourself.
Crimea-- Russia Black.sea Borders/airspace is Heavily guarded by Russian forces on land and sea and air. (Since 2014 Crimea was annexed back)

Intelligence Flights by Us drones dey track movement for Black Sea and in the battlefield normally sha grin grin grin grin according to CNN



. It went too close to Russia patrol side thats why it happened to be intercepted by Russian aircrafts for invasion. If e even smell too close for Romania side. It can be intdrcepted by Romania air defense. Thats why its called *intelligence flight*. A good intelligence flight should be able to effectively gather all intelligent reports from a very good close but not tooclose or overclose distance just like bluetooth grin

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

The USSR shot down US planes on more than one occasion.

An unmanned drone is fair game if Putin deems it necessary.

In recent past, US drone activity preceded Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory and this flew close to Crimea/Sevastopool.

Una go just dey rake like say u b US General. Awon, "won't dare to shoot down".

Russia is only reminding the US to stay sane. That's how they said they would not send tanks to Ukraine. They're sending tanks now. If the Russians do not down this drone today. Tomorrow, it'll fly over Crimea and the Americans will say Crimea is disputed territory.

The universal language in geopolitics is force.

how would US do its own back when others don't breach US territorial waters or airspace? You don ever see Russian planes go near US territory or airspace? (Don't tell me Alaska pls) But US has breached other people's airsphace countless times especially back then in the Soviet era looking for what I don't know.

Imagine leaving your country thousands of miles away and having the effrontery to do routine checks on someone else's backyard and now crying foul. Mtchewwww.

I feel your pains in this. It is justified.
However if this same quality of brain sits in your head, then defending Russia's invasion of Ukraine is an abuse to it's use and overall well-being.

nothing spoil, since both USA and Russia serve the same master , reaper drone is downed by friendly fire.

Fun fact, did you know. That all the trucks used by Vietcong during the Vietnam war to fight USA were made in Russia, but all the engines in all the trucks used by Vietcong were from american ford factory in Russia. In short the USA engines powered vietkong trucks to fight american army.

Its a one world government , no such thing as military conflict , just genocide since all the armies serve one master.

The official religion of USA airforce and Russian air force is satanism. USA air force even have satanic priest .
