We’ve now seen what the current\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 group of spineless, fearful naifs screwing up by-the-numbers in DC<\/del>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Administration elected to do regarding the recent buzzing of a US warship<\/a><\/em> in international waters by Russian military aircraft.\u00a0 Specifically, they told Russia, “That wasn’t very nice!” – by sending a diplomatic protest – along with publicly saying, in effect, “Please don’t do it again. That could have ended badly.”<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Well, it appears Russia has given us their reply.\u00a0 Last Thursday, a Russian SU-27 “barrel-rolled” a US RC-135<\/em><\/a> operating in international airspace over the Baltic Sea.\u00a0 The Russian aircraft reportedly came within 50 feet<\/em><\/a> of the US aircraft while doing so.<\/p>\n

OK, Mr. President – this time, Putin has not only given the US the finger with both hands.\u00a0 He’s also mooned the Statue of Liberty, too.\u00a0 And he did both while shouting Russian insults.\u00a0 Your move.<\/p>\n

Here’s my prediction, based on past examples of “leadership” from this\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 gaggle of feckless fools<\/del>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Administration.\u00a0 Look for another “strongly worded diplomatic protest” tomorrow or the next day, along with another meaningless public platitude or two from the SECSTATE.<\/p>\n

Sheesh.\u00a0 Putin and his cronies must be about to p!ss their pants from laughing at us so hard.\u00a0 And from my perspective, that’s not terribly funny at all.<\/p>\n
