NATO scrambles fighter jets to intercept Russian planes

[IronLionZion]

Russia is testing NATO response times. They are trying to provoke an escalation

1. CNN reported the statement accurately

...but it would be a better characterization to say NATO scrambled the jets to respond to a potential threat and provide a deterrence.

They would likely not have expected to actually intercept the enemy jets. This is really an alarmist headline.

2. I believe

NATO would make short work of the Russian army and air force.

3. Yes indeed they would..pootie knows he can't win against NATO

4. Thank you!

There is a growing feeling in me that it will come to that.

5. It's not the Russian army or air force that worries me, it's Putin and nuclear weapons.

6. Putin is unpredictable.

In the end, he will kill himself or be assassinated.

7. I am fine if he kills himself as long as he doesn't take everybody else with him.

8. Agreed!
