The Russians understood the U.S. “would presume it to be an intentional assassination attempt.” And respond!

They didn’t do anything. Proving Putin is all threats, bluffs, and intimidation.

Begin F-16 flight training for Ukraine pilots now. In the US. It’s going to happen eventually, so get a head start.
