If a Def. Minister awards a pilot for downing a drone, is that a recognition of a military action against the US?

Condolences to the Drone family! May he rest in peace!

they gave the pilot a medal for what they called an accident? genius duroks!

It wasn't a "collision between" the two aircraft. The Russian aircraft close-approached on multiple occasions, and then finally rammed, the drone. The drone was clearly flying straight and level the entire time.

Guarding the Infrastructure is definitely not an escalation. Eventhough in high alert with loaded-up weaponry.

The U.S is acting like the drone had a family

I think they were trying to burn the drone with a burning fuel trail - much like how an F-111 or an F-14 can light it's jettisoned fuel on fire.

Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.

I didn't think the Ukraine war would become NATO/Russia or WWIII - but I'm now starting to believe it will.

[cya]

at this point it obvious to see that this escalates more and more. nato has to increase its military prowess as quickly as possible on a massive scale.

The only way to stop a bully is to stand up to them. If need be, kick them in the balls. Be not afraid of bullies.
