Pentagon: Can You Please Replace John Kirby?

Editor's note: Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby says "the Russian pilots smashing into a drone awarded a ribbon for bravery is a different definition of bravery than what he holds." Kirby, here's the deal: the Russian pilots gave the drone operator 19 warnings to fly the drone out of that area over the Black Sea close to Crimea. The pilots didn't "ram" the drone as Kirby attempts to suggest. It was an old cold war tactic to dump fuel that disrupts the air flow over the wings of an aircraft (the propellor couldn't withstand the weight and velocity of the fuel) that caused the drone to lose its aerodynamic qualities. Kirby gives a simpleton's explanation. Another Kirby canard just like Russia running out of ammunition and running out of gas. So Kirby, what's the answer? Send depleted uranium rounds to Ukraine? The drone was conducting surveillance collecting intelligence on Crimea to be used to target and possibly kill Russians and destroy Russian assets. It was a deliberate provocation of Russia. This was an act of war and the Russian pilots were awarded for their skilled flying by not shooting the drone down.

Listen carefully to this smug arrogant Pentagon spokesperson:
