Tension Heats Up Between the US and Russia over Ukraine

iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — Pentagon officials have called out Russia for flying a fighter jet over the weekend too close to a U.S. warship in the Black Sea.
The jet was 500 feet above sea level and 3,000 feet away from the U.S.S. Donald Cook, close enough that the ship sent warnings that were ignored for more than 90 minutes.
Officials say the jet was unarmed and the ship was never in danger, but have called the Russian’s actions irresponsible.
