Its just been opened.

Your first point, there is 100% no way the US is going to “provide AD cover” in a conflict they aren’t in, and against a nuclear power. If they send any ships it will be a...

There is less than zero chance of the US trying to impose a no fly zone. They will let Ukraine loose before that would even enter a conversation. This is a proxy war. There is no way the west gets...

Don’t mean to sound condescending.. actually I do. You’re an idiot. Not even superman could manage to just damage blade 2.

The fact that even auto spell check doesn’t clue in with you lends weight.

I doubt the US would send much a presence there anyways. Too much risk of escapism for not much gain.

I don’t think there is much “fuss”. I’m not even sure the UK has acknowledged it happened?

The US has given few press briefings and that’s it.

The media are making more of it than anyone else....

If for instance we were in a shooting war with Ireland, and Russia was supplying intel to Ireland from drones off the Yorkshire coast then yes, I would say we would shoot them down. After taking into...

100% agree. Although I am in the camp of “the only good Russian is a dead Russian” it is a valid strategy. It is enabling their enemy. They know nothing will come of it. Just surprised they haven’t...

If it was a manned asset I don’t think this would have happened. Same for my scenario of the situations were reversed. I don’t think the US would have taken down a manned asset in international...

I don’t think the US authorities will be that concerned. I would say they would be more surprised it’s taken this long.

You can’t really blame the Russians. The UK or the US would have done just...

Sorry not really sure of the point you are trying to make?

Of course it would be newsworthy. Most definitely not the type of news the US would want to be making at a time they are trying to pry...

Yea I did. For self defense. Again I will repeat myself. No command authority is going to tell a drone operator to shoot down a manned Russian aircraft even in self defense of an unmanned drone. They...

My first thought as well. These come from sigonella in Italy and overfly a number of countries. All of which will have given permission.
