Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin has shown his complete absence of respect for the Big Orange Head on many occasions.
The article at the link below, describes what is likely another instance of this.
The author attempts to put a spin on the intercept of a B-52 by a single Russian SU-27 jet fighter that would have the incident be proof Putin’s air force is much inferior to that of the United States.
The author states, “Jet fighters never, ever, fly solo. They always operate in pairs. It is a fundamental element of air combat—or being prepared for air combat. No modern and capable military force violates this cardinal rule if at all possible.”
What he assumes is the intercept was a serious action. But it is more believable that Putin understands just how much a coward the Big Orange Head truly is. Putin knows Big Orange will stand still for actions against the U.S. that would have forced other U.S. leaders to confront him, possibly in a face-to-face meeting.
In the past, had a nation openly hostile to the .U.S. challenged a B-52 in neutral airspace, presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama would have taken a defensive stance immediately.
But this is NOT how Big Orange reacts. He, hides in the White House and launches another Twitter attack on Kathy Griffin, or some other “dangerous” foe. That is, if he does anything at all.
No, despite the wishes of the author, there was no true military intent by Putin when he sent a single fighter to intercept an American B-52 on a routine mission. Putin just wanted to thumb his nose at the cowardly Big Orange Head...again.
