#1 Since that incident, which the Atlanticist media have carefully covered up despite the widespread reactions sparked among defense industry experts, no US ship has ever approached Russian territorial waters again.

A bit of heavy breathing there...

#5 If there is any truth to this story I suspect the crew of the USS Donald Cook were spooked because they were told to stand down and not defend themselves and the crew realize that if the attack had been real they were just targets as far as Washington was concerned.

#9 no blood, no foul.

all the Cook's crew had to do was point their radar at that plane and the pilot would have cooked in his seat.

he knew that and so did they.

both knew the rules aforehand.

no blood, no foul.
