Tensions are again on the rise between Russia and the United States, as each nation reported intercepting the other nation’s warplanes violating their airspace. The two sides both defended their respective interceptions.
NATO planes intercepted two Russian jets in the Baltic Sea, operating in international waters but overflying the USS Donald Cook, a US destroyer. NATO lionized this interception as a huge accomplishment showing that they “remain ready, vigilant, and prepared.“
Meanwhile, a Russian Su-35 intercepted a US Navy spy plane off the coast of Syria. Russia reported that the spy plane was operating around Russian air bases in Syria, and the plane intercepted it twice. The US Navy complained it was “unsafe” to intercept their spy plane amid its apparent spying.
Russia said they detected the US plane heading for their airbase and scrambled the Su-35 to “escort” it outside of the base’s airspace. Russia says what they did was in accordance with international law.

O, W8, COVID-19 delayed the release date to Dec. 23, 2020.
This is to insure nobody starts getting idea that Russia’s help in crisis is to be misconstrued to mean that we are getting soft on Russia.
Russia coming forward to assist US with medical supplies or pledging to cut oil production in the chaos that could cost hundreds of thousands of Americans their jobs — is Russia’s decision. Their choice. We did not ask them to do any of it. They volunteered.
Who cares about workers. Soon all American unemployed will have the value of oil — less then zero.
