#1 In the good old days, US Navy ships used to turn on their missile fire control radars as a warning if the Russkies got too aggressive.

Apparently that's considered an act of war these days. Too bad, really. It should raise the pucker factor in the pilots just a bit.

#3 Wouldn't it be so great to join forces with those guys against Islamism

Instead of buzzing us we together could be bombing islamic state and buzzing the saudis

#4 Yep, turn the radars on at 2 miles, and shoot at one. Tell Putin that is the order. This will stop.
