COLD WART

SPECIAL POST

A Russian fighter jet was obviously trying to provoke an international confrontation over the weekend; the jet continuously buzzed the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Donald Cook at close range in the Black Sea over a 90-munute period.  A Russian Navy ship, a frigate, has also been shadowing the U.S. warship, remaining within visual distance but not close enough to be unsafe.  

This type of activity occurred every day during the Cold War; they never led to outright battle or World War III.  Of course, we had Presidents in those days who didn't put up with any nonsense.  These days, we have Barack Obama.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
