You think we should let them do flyovers of US airspace?

Is your credit card debt real? I have to pay it off every month with money that pays for food, clothing and utility bills.
No, our national debt is not real.

@sree251 The national debt of a sovereign country is not equivalent to household debt. For example, you can't print your own money. However, the national debt is being paid off all the time, as I explained. But kudos for being concerned about it during a Republican administration. Normally, you people only care about it when the Democrats are in charge.

A sovereign country is similar to a business corporation or a personal entity. Financial viability of any entity - be it a nation, a business, or an individual - is based on the same measure of ability to meet obligations. The ability to print money isn’t just about producing paper bills—it directly affects inflation, economic stability, and trust in financial systems.
You explained? The national debt is growing continually and constantly. I buy Treasuries. It's like playing musical chair. The debt gets paid off and I get to sit on the chair as long as the music doesn't stop.

So, why on earth are we intercepting Russian aircrafts for?
NATO air forces intercept Russian aircraft hundreds of times each year, so why on earth do you think this one interception is extraordinary. Vlad makes a point of trying to push the envelope and it's NATO responsibility to show him he can only push it so far.

That's right. We do that routinely hundreds of times a year. And it cost money. For what? The Russians are not flying over US airspace. Would you intercept your neighbor walking by your house on a public sidewalk? What's wrong with you?

@AthrillatheHunt You're so right. It's a place most people don't think about, but the USA, Russia and China have all got their eyes fixed on the mineral wealth in that area. Hence the Greenland nonsense that Trump came out with a few years ago and every now and again digs up when he needs another distraction.

Americans voted for the two parties, both hate Russia and will never stop trying to destroy it.

Russia hatred is pretty deep-seated. It stems from the Cold War when we were separated from Russia by the Iron Curtain.
