    anyone talking about this yet? This a.m. I saw the footage taken and this is International waters it happened over, not Russian territory.

    I think the Woke Community ought to go back to sleep and let those that are much more in touch with reality run America! If only :(

    Here is a clip from Judge Napolitano about what happened with the Russians and the drone. I didn’t listen to the whole 20 minutes, but the first thing they talk about is the drone event.
    Apparently, we had turned off the transponders in the drone, which are supposed to be turned on when flying into another country’s territory , and the drone was essentially the same thing as the Chinese spy balloon that came over America and we shot down, it was slipping into the area improperly.
    So, Russia was entitled to take down the drone, just like we did with the spy balloons.
    However, Col. Macgregor goes on to say that he has never heard of military planes actually flying into a drone to take it down, or doing something like dumping fuel on the drone, and even though we are showing pictures of that, he is skeptical about this happening.

    Ok, so Fox reporters were wrong about it being in International space over Black Sea. It's so discouraging, I feel as if I shouldn't post anything from anyone honestly :( I'm glad you found the other info though Yvonne, thanks for the heads-up.

    It is hard to believe anything for sure nowdays, @Denise Evans , regardless of where it comes from. However, when six giant corporations controls about 90% of the world’s news, it is no wonder that we only are told what they are programming us to hear. ( that is why it is called a “program”)

    I have pretty much changed over to small news outfits online, either Twitter or one of the video places like Youtube or Rumble or Bitchute; but you can’t always rely on those sources either, as sometimes they are fed misinformation also.

    We cut off all kinds of cable/satellite tv years ago, and only use a small antenna for local programs, and usually use that when we have storms coming in. Otherwise, both Bobby and I search out news online and on local radio.

    I don't have cable either, and I can't get local channels, but I like the guy in your video, have seen him around and I'll be watching the video while I have my breakfast this a.m. Thanks much ;)

    I've subscribed to Judging Freedom @Yvonne Smith that was enjoyable to watch, well, I'm not all finished but it is way better than watching "news" briefs. I know I'll still click on them occasionally but thanks again for showing me this channel ;) Denise

    That video is the best thing I've watched in I don't know how long, about this whole Russia/Ukraine issue, and the last few minutes were just over-the-top hitting the nail on the head!! Can't thank you enough @Yvonne Smith. Like I said, I have subscribed to Judge Napolitano and his channel. Loved hearing what Col. Doug MacGregor had to say, how enlightening! For anyone interested, here is the link again, that @Yvonne Smith turned me onto:

    I watched the video as well and commented on @Denise Evans post. The drone was within Russian air identification zone and had turned off its transponder so it looked to be a hostile actor to the Russians. According to my sources, they took it down electronically, not with a fuel dump or a plane "bump" as the Administration has claimed. They probably know better, but they are trying to paint themselves in a good light and the Russians as bad guys, but this is just more incompetence by the Americans. They have perhaps given the Russians yet another piece of American technology that they can back-engineer or design counter measures from. What a sad mess our nation has descended to. The drone was NOT in neutral airspace and, even if it were, with transponder off it looked to be hostile. We were definitely in the wrong and Biden is babbling to try to cover it up. They assume we are stupid and will believe what they tell us.

    Yes @Don Alaska and that report said there were also American ships in the area so I don't know if that meant they were in Russian waters or not?? Then it was saying somewhere I heard it, that the Russians were going to recover the wreckage. So I guess they have the right to do that too and steal more of our technology. We've got someone "donating" our secrets and technology without the peoples knowledge.

    The ships truly are in international waters, but aircraft play by different rules, as they are more clandestine and faster. We have Russian planes come near Alaska all the time, but they always have transponders on and they are intercepted by fighters. When a plane or a drone turns off the transponder, it becomes less visible on radar and that generally indicates hostile intent. No matter what the administration or their cronies put out, we had no right to be their at all much less with the transponder turned off. Notice they always talk about "international waters", so I guess the Biden folks don't realize that drones fly through the AIR and don't float or travel through water. International waters aren't really relevant here. Air Defense Identification Zone is what is relevant with aircraft; we were in violation and they had every right to shoot the drone down, just as we shot down balloons and other things.

    Ok, I thank you for explaining all that Don. Who the hell is pullin the strings to pull such a stupid stunt after the whole China Balloon fiasco, I don't expect anyone knows for sure, but it sounds like something fishy. It's the why, and the lack of any sanity from our present administration. I wonder sometimes how the good part of our military puts up with all this crap from people who've never truly served America :(

    Some of the strongest defenders of America were pushed out of the military with the vaccine mandates, which may have been part of the purpose. The higher-ups are certainly compliant.

    We actually have no real information about what did happen. We can pretty much agree that the storyline that is being pushed about the Russians dumping fuel and crashing into the drone are lies; so who is to say that the Russians even did this at all ?
    Biden is trying his hardest to instigate hatred against Putin, and it is quite possible that we shot down our own drone and then made up the silly story about the Russians crashing into it.

    This kind of thing has been going on for centuries. Way back in frontier days, we had white people pretending to be Indians, so that the cavalry would respond by attacking and killing the Indians, and many other armies have pretended to not be who/what they are.

    Some folks think we are intentionally being led into war for the upcoming election, when it will be "unAmerican," or even "treasonous" to say bad things about the sitting president during wartime.

    I believe Putin even admitted downing the drone as it invaded their airspace. A question has arisen, however, that the U.S. may have done it deliberately to give them an excuse to introduce U.S. fighters as "escorts" for the illegal drone activity.
