Yes of course, it's all down to laziness - a bit like those Russian troops who couldn't be bothered to get out of their tanks before they went for their holidays in the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.
Easy mistake to make when you're a highly trained pilot next to a sensitive border.

Eh, the USA are seeing 20th century enemies all around too.
They've spent almost 25 years since the fall of the USSR fighting 'terror' all around the world.

Regardless of whether or not that is the case, so what? How does that make a 19th century world view any less counter-productive?They've spent almost 25 years since the fall of the USSR fighting 'terror' all around the world.

They need to focus internally on what matters.
So it's relevant to lay that same criticism elsewhere. It's not just a failing of Russia.

Russian mini-sub? - the Swedes are pretty clear where it came from - you know those agressive war-mongering, NATO members the Swedes.

If we were saying that Jack the Ripper was a bit of a bd, and someone piped up "Oh really? Well what about Fred West, you hypocrites!", I think we'd agree that it wasn't really relevant. They need to focus internally on what matters.

I'm just curious if Russia really struggles so much seeing everyone through 19th century tinted goggles, and it's not actually something else holding them back?

A fair point, but I'm struggling how you can lay a criticism about a country struggling because of it's foreign policy when the USA manages fine with what seems like a much worse policy.

Seriously, how can you suggest for all its faults that the US has worse foreign policy than Russia?? That seems completely divorced from reality.

Looks like the Mig31 (?) is going faster than the F16 (?) any way... so it's more like pulling in after an overtake and the overtakee decided to be 'startled'?
Still pretty close stuff and not ideal for potential tension rising situations if they get these fly-bys a bit wrong!
Looks like the Russians fly like they drive - totally irresponsibly. It wouldn't surprise me if the Mig pilot had had a drop of the clear stuff.Still pretty close stuff and not ideal for potential tension rising situations if they get these fly-bys a bit wrong!
Just imagine if the F16 pilot had unwittingly decided to hang a right just as the vodka-sponge was doing his fly-by. The Russians would have denounced this as a further example of western aggression, and used forward facing cockpit footage to help prove the F16 pilot deliberately changed course to collide with the Mig.
Lairy fkers.

When separatists can almost play you so perfectly well to invade another country with troops and bombs?
There is something wrong with a countries foreign policy when they can go to war by accident so easily.
