Well, it looks like Russia’s military is flexing it’s muscles again. Or maybe Vladimir Putin just decided he wanted to flip off the POTUS again.<\/p>\n
Damn. I should know better than to write something like the previous paragraph.\u00a0 It’s redundant as hell, isn’t it? (smile)<\/p>\n
Anyway: it appears that for the second time in about 2 weeks, a Russian SU-27 has “barrel-rolled” a US recon aircraft operating in international airspace<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n This time, though, the Russian jet “only” came within 100′ of the US aircraft. During the last barrel-roll incident, the Russian aircraft’s closest approach to ours was approximately 50′.<\/p>\n OK, Mr. President. Vlad has given you the finger with both hands yet again, then immediately afterwards mooned you. But he’s apparently “branching out” a bit now. One of his aides must have suggested he insult you in German. This time I’m pretty sure he yelled “Deine Mutter arbeitet auf Vierzig Deutsche Mark-Stra\u00dfe, Arschloch!”<\/em> as he was mooning you.<\/p>\n Oh, and did I mention that it appears increasingly probable that Syrian-Russian operations to recapture the city of Aleppo<\/i><\/a> – currently held by Syrian rebels – now appear imminent? That is, if they haven’t already begun<\/i><\/a>?<\/p>\n Your move, Mr. President. Time to get your “he-man war hero” SECSTATE working on another “strongly-worded diplomatic statement” or two.<\/p>\n Or maybe you could simply ask him if you could borrow Terresa’s cojones<\/i> .\u00a0 Maybe if you did that you could start acting, well, Presidential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
