FORCED SHOWDOWN - Drone Invasion Download With Utorrent

The release of the video comes two days after the Pentagon said a Russian Su-27 fighter clipped the propeller of an uncrewed MQ-9 Reaper drone that was operating in international airspace, forcing it down into the water. The Kremlin says its jets did not make contact with the drone.
Russia's Defense Ministry insists that its fighter jets did not attack or come into contact with the drone, alleging that the U.S. craft lost stability and control as a result of "quick maneuvering," before losing altitude and crashing into the Black Sea.
The move sets up a showdown with the Senate over whether the Iran restriction, which includes an exception for cases of self-defence, will be included in the final bill negotiated between the two chambers.
House members endorsed a repeal of the 2002 authorisation for use of military force that was passed to approve the Iraq invasion, and a statement adopted after the September 11 attacks, that ought to be replaced with a time-limited measure.
Despite that, China says it has a "no-limits friendship" with Russia and has refused to criticize Moscow's invasion, or even to refer to it as such. It has accused the U.S. and NATO of provoking the conflict and of "fanning the flames" by providing Ukraine with defensive arms, while also condemning sanctions leveled against Russia and entities seen as aiding its military effort -- including Chinese companies.
