Officials: Russian fighter jet buzzed U.S. ship. “…in a 90-minute encounter, the Russian SU-24 fighter jet made a dozen low passes … near the USS Donald Cook.” Just Putin’s way of telling Stinkburger “I fart in your general direction.”

Putin smells weakness, & he knows that now is the time to do whatever he wants.
Oh yah. Guess they've been watching "Top Gun" again.
Anybody else have NBC's stupid menu covering about 3/4 of the page?
"I bite my thumb at you!"
Give Obama a break. It's not easy painting a red line on the water.
I'm surprised this morning's HuffPo didn't have the headline "Russians Salute Comrade Obama with Flyover"
As Obimbo sputters and coughs and Putin inserts operators into the societies of all the former soviet republics that are now "independent", we will continue to have to sit by and watch the world change in a way that endangers us all.
Meanwhile, Jay Carney has the unmitigated gall to go on television and complain about the Ruskies fomenting civil war in sovereign nations, as we did in Libya, Egypt, & Tunisia, and are currently pushing in no less than 7 African Sovereign Nations. It gets more embarrassing every day.
Buy ammo. Lots of ammo. Methinks you are going to need it.
I don't know if there is enough ammo to do what we need to do. That said, I am well stocked with bladed instruments and bolts with broadheads.
They were probably trying to get the ship to lock on to it so they could get intel on the Fire Control radar. Same thing they used to do to us in subs if we ever got 'snapped up'. Still it would have been nice to let the CIWS "slip" and put a few thousand rounds across its nose.
Slice the plane in half with Aegis and wipe the smirk off of Putin's face. What's he going to do?
Send his mother to bitch-slap Obama?
No that's what O'banner would due. Putin has no fear of the US because he has no fear of idiot boy. I may not agree with Bush the younger, on everything, but there was never a doubt in anyone's . Mind that he would shoot back.
It isn't like our pilots haven't done the same thing to Russian ships in international waters. It just sucks to be on the receiving end because our sorry assed excuse of a president is a spineless race pimp.
Russia controls the airspace over the Black Sea and we control the rest of the world's oceans. This isn't the Russians back yard, it's the hottub, on the covered deck attached to their house. Or course they can do what ever they want.
