. Russian fighter jets intercepted and forced down an American surveillance drone over the Black Sea on Tuesday, U.S. military officials said, with one of the warplanes colliding with the unmanned aircraft’s propeller after both jets dumped fuel on it. … The confrontation, believed to be the first direct U.S.-Russia clash in the year since the Ukraine war began, highlights the high-stake risks of the conflict.
It won’t be long until NATO or the US crosses the line militarily and we are officially in the war.

Maybe I'm reading the article incorrectly but how do you see this as an act of US/NATO aggression and not Russian aggression?

The US drone was in international NATO waters conducting routine operations. Russia crossed into the area. This was an act of Russian aggression. Turkey, Bulgaria, and Romania are all NATO countries that have coastlines along the Black Sea. Russia can not claim the entire area over the Black Sea as a "temporary border" on a whim because they want to or because they started a war with Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor and Russia has continually tried to provoke NATO into entering the war.

Russia is on the offense, no question everything they do will be aggression. But after over a year it looks like NATO and the US is going to become more and more aggressive and involved in this war. Biden doesn’t want to pull out of another loser like Afghanistan so we continue a losing fight.

Someone has to escalate or back down because right now all they’re doing is killing each other. No one’s getting anyway no matter the propaganda of Russia, US and Ukraine. I’m afraid the US might escalate their involvement.

Because we’ve been trying to punk them for years… all the way up until this moment… Russia just isn’t the one who is going to cower and fear us like we expect…

Wow!

Just read more about this... Russia didn't "force it down" the drone smacked into the wing of the Russian plane and fell.




We're being seriously manipulated by the press...

The MQ-9 Reaper drone was in international airspace when a Russian fighter jet struck its propeller.

But I'm still the winner! They lied! They cheated! They stole the election!
