The Cold War may be over, but if Vladimir Putin has his way, it could get hot 
very quickly. Yesterday, in a shocking act of provocation, Russian ships 

buzzed an American destroyer in the Baltic. The details are below:
A United States Navy destroyer operating in international waters in the

Baltic Sea experienced several close interactions by Russian aircraft

April 11 and 12. 

USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) encountered multiple, aggressive flight

maneuvers by Russian aircraft that were performed within close

proximity of the ship.

On April 11, Donald Cook was conducting deck landing drills with an

allied military helicopter when two Russian SU-24 jets made numerous

close-range and low altitude passes at approximately 3 p.m. local. One

of the passes, which occurred while the allied helicopter was refueling

on the deck of Donald Cook, was deemed unsafe by the ship's

commanding officer. As a safety precaution, flight operations were

suspended until the SU-24s departed the area.

On April 12, while Donald Cook was operating in international waters

in the Baltic Sea, a Russian KA-27 Helix helicopter conducted circles

at low altitude around the ship, seven in total, at approximately 5 p.m.

local. The helicopter passes were also deemed unsafe and

unprofessional by the ship's commanding officer. About 40 minutes

following the interaction with the Russian helicopter, two Russian

SU-24 jets made numerous close-range and low altitude passes,

11 in total. The Russian aircraft flew in a simulated attack profile and

failed to respond to repeated safety advisories in both English and

Russian. USS Donald Cook's commanding officer deemed several of

these maneuvers as unsafe and unprofessional.

Quotes: 

"April 11-12, USS Donald Cook was operating in a professional manner

in international waters conducting operations and exercises with our allies

in the Baltic Sea."

"In my judgement these maneuvers in close proximity to Donald Cook

are unprofessional and unsafe."

-Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, Adm. Mark Ferguson
This is what an absence of leadership looks like. Barack Obama may have
 no taste for another military occupation of the Middle East, and on that, 
most Americans agree. But as Ronald Reagan noted, America is supposed
 to be a "Shining City on a Hill," a beacon of liberty and the world's first line 
of defense against encroaching tyranny. Yet when it's come time to fulfill 
that obligation, time and again, he's apologized to our enemies and 
negotiated from weakness. Predictably, the sharks are smelling blood, 
and now we're all unsafe.
