Russian Jet Buzzing Incident and Sea Agreements
The White House downplays an incident where Russian jets buzzed a US Navy ship in the Baltic Sea, citing the 1972 "Incident at Sea Agreement." The hosts report that such "hot-dogging" is routine for both US and Russian forces and is only being highlighted now for propaganda purposes. They note that US helicopters frequently perform similar maneuvers near Russian vessels without media outcry.
