Playing A Dangerous Game

Russian “boss man” Vladmir Putrid—er, uh, Putin, is playing a dangerous game as he directs his fighter jets to “buzz” American Naval vessels and disrupt their operations (TELL me those pilots do it without orders from their government!). Yes, I know, we're not “technically” at war with Russia at this time, but that could change at any moment. We weren't “technically” at war with Japan when they bombed Pearl Harbor. Those sailors can't possibly know what those Russian pilots have in mind when they line up for a “practice” strafing run over their ships, coming within FEET of their decks. Obama should send Putrid—uh, Putin a message that the next time a Russian plane buzzes an American ship we will shoot it down. And if one does, SHOOT it down. That will either put an end to his “games,” or start the war he is trying to instigate. He is a fool if he thinks he can win such a war. But Obama doesn't have the guts to give the order.
