This type of aggressiveness, and worse, is what you get when woke is in charge. Under a Harris Admin, I'd expect these guys to actually take shots at us.

This incident happened because of..."woke"? Explain. Also, this incident wouldn't have happened if Trump was in office? Explain.

Should the F-16 have fired on the Russian immediately? Is that what a non-woke pilot would do? When you have to stretch this hard for some thin, unrelated point about "woke", that should tell you something.

This never would have happened if Trump was president

The US military has released several photos of what it says were Russian fighter jets “buzzing” the deck of a US warship in the Black Sea last week.

No, see, Trump hadn't had time to unwoke the military at that point.

That's a multiyear process.

but here's another example from April 2020:

A U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon surveillance aircraft was flying in international airspace over the Mediterranean sea Wednesday when it was intercepted by a Russian SU-35, Navy officials said.

The Russian fighter jet reportedly conducted a high-speed inverted maneuver in front of the Poseidon, coming as close as 25 feet from the nose of the U.S. aircraft.

Seriously. You are saying Russia is coming at us for being too soft but you also don't want us to fund Ukraine, where US-weapons are liquifying the Russian army, because you're pee-pantsing over WWIII.

It's almost like you guys actually have no idea what you want or what you're doing except blame Democrats.

It's interesting how it's the genuinely weak bullies who like to think they have some sort of corner on violence, but back away the fastest when stuff actually starts escalating. Donald Trump is the least hawklike president we've had in probably 100+ years since Woodrow Wilson claimed America was "too proud to fight" as World War I got going.

They also never seem to recognize who the genuinely dangerous people actually are. Kamala Harris is genuinely dangerous.

There's a lot of things that worry me about Kamala Harris...starting with the fact that while Joe Biden was an institutionalist who did his best to rock as few boats as possible, Harris is almost certainly an activist who likely isn't going to care who she p!sses off once she's in the Big Chair. I also suspect she's very certain of her own convictions, and when a bad idea gets in her head it's going to tend to stay there. I also get the sense she has a vengeful streak a mile wide and she's going to make some early and very graphic examples both abroad and within her own administration of folks who make the mistake of crossing her. I think a whole lot of people are going to wind up steamrolled and have their careers broken like matchsticks by Kamala Harris.

But "weak"? Not even slightly. Her character flaws go the other way, IMHO. I don't see a whole lot of genuine compassion in the woman. I think she's calculating and ruthless as he!!.

It is definitely not the way to bet that somebody who made their living for 20+ years as a prosecutor who marched into courtrooms and tried to send often very bad - and very dangerous - people to jail is actually "weak", whatever.

My guess is she's going to act like a very liberal version of Margaret Thatcher...with all the good and bad that implies.
