White House ‘concerned’ about Russian jets buzzing U.S. warship

The White House said Wednesday the U.S. is “concerned” about Russian fighter jets buzzing a U.S. warship in the Baltic Sea this week.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the incidents are “entirely inconsistent with the professional norms of militaries operating in close proximity to each other.” He cited “repeated incidents in the past year” in which Russian forces have instigated close calls with U.S. and other military forces.
 


“We continue to be concerned about this behavior,” Mr. Earnest said, without specifying what the U.S. response might be.


Unarmed Russian fighter jets made two extremely close overflights this week of the USS Donald Cook. One of the jets reportedly flew within 75 feet of the ship.

If ever there were a decisive display of strength from a POTUS, Obama just showed it to Putin.  He had his press secretary come out and say the WH was concerned!  I'll bet Putin nearly passed out with fear. :talkhand:

White House not concerned. They care nothing about it. If it destroys us more, fine with them.

"Concerned" is almost like giving a crap. But there's basketball to watch on TV, so don't expect anything more from King Putt.
