These interceptions have become more common as the U.S. and its allies continue to provide Ukraine with military and security assistance in the war against Russia, according to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham appeared on Sean Hannity's Fox News show last night and said the U.S. should shoot down Russian jets that intercept U.S. aircraft, manned or not.
"We should hold them accountable and say that, 'If you ever get near another U.S. asset flying in international waters, your airplane will be shot down,'" Graham claimed.
"What would Ronald Reagan do right now? He would start shooting Russian planes down if they were threatening our assets." Later, addressing Biden, Graham said, "If you don't change your game and up your game, we're going to have World War III.".
Graham's big-brained idea is that the only way to avoid World War III is to start it? To state the obvious, killing Russian pilots would bring the U.S. into direct confrontation with Russia.
The United States would effectively be at war with Russia, and when Russia responds, the U.S. will feign surprise and drag the rest of NATO into the conflict.
When the Soviet Union shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007 on September 1, 1983, killing all 269 people, including sixty-one Americans and one member of Congress, Reagan did not start striking Russian assets or shooting down Russian military planes.
