Skylark Russian Hypocrites 2/12/2012 8:25:51 PM

Does anyone else think it hypocritical of Russia to complain about foreign military aircraft moving along their border? Russia, when it was the Soviet Union, made a career out of doing the exact same thing for most of the Cold War, and more, since they also, on occasion, penetrated foreign airspace to test air defenses. And not with defensive fighters either, but bombers! They are even trying to revive the missions here and there in an obvious effort to re-live 'the good ol' days' so they have nothing to complain about. Turnabout is fair play.

Replace words in that article. Write "Mexico" or "Cuba" instead "Lithuania", write "Russia" instead "NATO", "US border" instead "Russian border", and write "Su-27" instead "F-15".

It will be OK, but in this case article heading will be "Paranoid Mexicans" (or Cubans).

In general, many things that anger the Chinese or Russian governments are good things.

A bigger problem for the Russians is that this nonsense wastes money and valuable resources like the S-400, which should really be better placed in the Far East instead of being deployed in Kaliningrad where it's doing nothing useful.

I'm sure the Mexican and Cuban airforces patrol their airspace. Nobody cares.

And I am sure Stavka dreams to break Lithuanian air space and only valorous NATO pilots rescue Lithuania from carpet bombardments.

I'd be surprised if the Cubans had any airworthy MIG's left to do the patrols. And forgive my ignorance but what constitutes the Mexican Air Force these days, where do they source their planes, and are they in a military alliance with the US?

you are clouded by your culture ,mentality, or biased mindset or ignorance,

look at the development in china, people there are not angered by your ignorant remark but laught at you.

you are frustrated to see that part of the world and people achieve that much so you want to anger china or rusian .

no way for you to do any harm to them, gigantic pain for you? taste it.
