User ID: 63037251 United States 09/19/2014 07:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Russian planes intercepted near U.S., Canadian airspace (CNN) — Two U.S. jets intercepted six Russian planes that neared U.S. airspace off Alaska on Thursday and Canadian planes intercepted two Russian bombers that approached Canadian airspace, NORAD reported. A U.S. official told CNN’s Barbara Starr that officials in Washington think the incidents were related to the visit by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, who talked to Canadian officials Wednesday and President Barack Obama on Thursday. The United States promised Ukraine $46 million in nonlethal aid for its battle with pro-Russian militants. The Russian aircraft flew within about 55 nautical miles of the Alaskan coastline and about 40 nautical miles of the Canadian coastline, said Capt. Jeff Davis of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD. Two Alaskan-based F-22 fighter jets intercepted two Russian IL-78 refueling tankers, two Russian Mig-31 fighter jets and two Russian Bear long-range bombers, a statement from NORAD said. The Russian planes flew in a loop and returned toward Russia. Two Canadian CF-18 fighter jets intercepted two Russian Bear long-range bombers in the Beaufort Sea, the statement said.

Why did we ever allow our relations with the communist to thaw in the first place? I was born in the 70's, and was raised,rightfully, to hate communists. Then in the 80's and 90's, all of sudden the commies aren't supposedly bad anymore. Now they're acting like the fuckers you love to hate. Things seem like they're almost done going full-circle. I'm anxious to see what awaits us, when the cycle is complete. |
