Whoops. Looks like the Russians are channeling their inner Wong Wei.
QuoteThe Su-27 conducted the close-in intercept of an RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft in international airspace over the Baltic Sea on Tuesday, said officials. The incident prompted a diplomatic protest.
"On the morning of April 7th, a U.S. RC-135U flying a routine route in international airspace was intercepted by a Russian Su-27 Flanker in an unsafe and unprofessional manner," said Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen M. Lainez.
"The United States is raising this incident with Russia in the appropriate diplomatic and official channels," she said in a statement.

Well that's a start, at least. When's Merkel gonna resurrect the full-on panzer divisions, though?? >:D
It's starting to feel like the 70's/80's again.
^If we were living in the 70s and 80s I'd be so confident and proud to know that the US wouldn't take that kind of provocation lightly.
Today however I'm confident that the US will probably just sell some more of our allies secrets to the enemy in response to these kinds of provocations.
It feels like the 1930s again. Even though I wasn't around the first time.

I had you pegged as a
Dapper Dan man.
Down here in Canada's Trowsers there used to be a doll-like preschool device called Dapper Dan, with buttons and zippers used to teach little boys how to dress themselves. The little girl equivalent was, iirc, Dressy Bessie.

If I had hair I would never stop using Fancy Pomade.

Back hair still counts as hair. That's what I keep telling myself at any rate.
So you've been eyeing those Hair Club for Men adverts then?
QuotePresident Vladimir Putin on Monday lifted the ban on Russia's delivery of a sophisticated air defense missile system to Iran, the Kremlin said.
Russia signed the $800 million contract to sell Iran the S-300 missile system in 2007, but later suspended their delivery because of strong objections from the United States and Israel.

Should things go bad over there at least we know where the first ground hugging cruise missiles need to go.
