So is this the precipitating incident? Something silly, almost? A desperate, dumb maneuver that raises hackles and tempers, and offers up a convenient excuse to take hostilities to another level?
A Russian pilot in a Su-27 allegedly strikes a U.S drone over the Black Sea, bringing it down, and immediately there is talk of escalation. Of course there is, because people react and need to speculate and, who knows, may even want things to move from cold to hot.
This can’t be the thing. Not exactly a Pearl Harbor. Maybe that’s coming.
Idiots and warmongers on both sides, still up to old tricks. Let them fight their own damn war.
