It wasn’t me! I was never there!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

South Korea scrambled jets and chased two Russian Tu-95MS bombers and an A-50 out of their air space.<\/p>\n

Of course, the Kremlin denies that it happened. \u201cThose planes weren\u2019t in South Korean air space, at all, not once.\u201d Really? Well, who was it? Was it Bigfoot?<\/p>\n

Note that the Kremlin doesn’t deny that those planes were flying somewhere. Of course they weren\u2019t in South Korean air space. They were just following migratory sparrows hauling coconuts to Africa, right?\u00a0 Right??<\/p>\n

From the article: SEOUL, South Korea \u2014 South Korean jets fired warning shots after a Russian military plane violated South Korea\u2019s airspace on Tuesday, Seoul officials said, in the first such incident between the countries.<\/p>\n

South Korea said three Russian military planes \u2014 two Tu-95 bombers and one A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft \u2014 entered the South’s air defense identification zone off its east coast before the A-50 intruded in South Korean airspace. Russia said later that two of its Tu-95MS bombers were on a routine flight over neutral waters and didn’t enter South Korean territory. \u2013 Article<\/p>\n

It gets better:\u00a0 Japan, which claims ownership over those same islets, protested to South Korea for firing warning shots over Japanese airspace. South Korea later countered that it cannot accept the Japanese statement, repeating that the islets are South Korean territory. Japan also protested to Russia for allegedly violating Japanese airspace. \u2013 Article<\/p>\n

Total rounds fired in two goes: 10 flares and 80 machine gun rounds in the first encounter, then 10 flares and 280 rounds in the second.<\/p>\n

In regard to the islands mentioned, North Korea also claims some as their turf. At some time in the past, there were people living there, working at fishing for a living, and the Norks came in and took them away, claiming they were they illegally. The South Korean government subsequently told the remaining people to leave that island permanently and resettled them elsewhere.<\/p>\n

It’s almost as though someone wants to start a war, isn’t it? Don’t those people have anything better to do with their time?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
