Tensions Rise as Russia and US Play Dangerous Game with Drones and Nuclear War Looms

Russia's Ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, criticized Senator Lindsey Graham's recent comments suggesting that the US should shoot down Russian planes if they "ever get near another US asset flying in international waters." Antonov warned that intentionally attacking a Russian aircraft in neutral airspace is not just a crime under international law, but also an open declaration of war against the largest nuclear power. Graham made the comments following the downing of an unmanned US drone over the Black Sea, which Russia denies. Fox host Tucker Carlson also criticized Graham's comments, while Russian ships are at the location where the drone crashed.
