Who said that, not me, nor did I suggest it.........
The US engaged is state sponsored military intervention when its sphere of influence was threatened in all the examples I gave.
Russia is intervening in the same way in Ukraine!
Neither is right, but let's be balanced about it, rather than the political posturing which is going on.
This current nonsense about submarines and flights; both sides have been doing it since 1945, nothing has changed there!
