It seems like so long ago.
Earlier today, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said they were “concerned” about Russian warplanes flying close to a U.S. destroyer in the Baltic Sea. Recently released video shows just how close they came:

Wow, I guess the reports of a low-altitude flyby were more than accurate. Unnecessary and dangerous provocation. https://t.co/ra9dN5hOoD

This is clearly provocative. https://t.co/l7wpb1tSgK

Years ago I was on a US Navy frigate that was buzzed by a US Fighter jet during at-sea exercise but not *that* close https://t.co/K9XhWL1Ybh
