Odd behavior?

Post by Nightshade »

A Russian fighter jet flew dangerously close to a U.S. RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft on Thursday in the latest military provocation by Moscow over the Baltic Sea, the U.S. European Command said Saturday.

I agree. It is odd that we would be flying reconnaissance aircraft over the Baltic Sea. Moscow should be worried, the same way we would be worried about one of their craft over the Caribbean.

What do you call the creation of five failed states under his administration? A good start? Actually six now...with eastern Ukraine.

I don't see where the admin created a single state, failed or otherwise. I think the description of delusion to your post, NS, given by another was charitable.

So TB, I guess the last several decades of spying on Russia are all Obama's fault too?

It's kind of been that way since Kennedy.

Yea, and the biggest failure recently is not the Middle East, but China, they have been dumping cheap government subsidized goods for some time without any response for our government.

And dumping is not designed to simply sell stuff cheap…it’s designed to destroy entire industries.

You can lay the blame for that on "I am not a crook" Nixon.

Based on what…let sleeping dogs lie?

Nixon hasn’t been in office for years, how can he be responsible for current foreign policy?

He's not. But he's the one who opened the China Pandora's Box with his visit in 1972. To be fair though, if it hadn't been him, it would've been someone else later on, guaranteed.
