Lt. Col. Ralph Peters (Ret.) said on America’s Newsroom that he’s becoming increasingly worried that we will see U.S. troops harmed as a result of aggressive actions by Russian or Iranian forces. The Fox News strategic analyst was reacting to new video showing two Russian fighter jets buzzing a U.S. warship in the Baltic Sea in what was described as a “simulated attack.”
The Su-24 jets were unarmed, but the incident occurred during NATO exercises involving Poland. Peters said Vladimir Putin is sending a message to eastern European NATO members that the Americans “won’t even defend themselves [and] are not gonna defend you.” Â He added that Putin watched as U.S. sailors surrendered to Iranian forces earlier this year and were humiliated.
