Imperialism, according to Lenin, was the pinnacle of capitalism; we are fortunate to live in a time when reality is confirming his thesis…
Lenin once said that the highest stage of capitalism was imperialism, and we just happened to live in this era to see his theory proved by reality…

The question is: what means other than war could there be under capitalism to overcome the disparity between the development of productive forces and the accumulation of capital on the one side, and the division of colonies and spheres of influence for finance capital on the other?

The Russian Foreign Ministry has investigated the incident and say the the USA is to take into account that it could be a Black Sea Gull, they are large and very daring, in addition, they relieve themselves in flight. The camera on the drone could distort the image and was mistaken for a fighter. We express our utmost concern. 🤔🤷♂
About the incident over the Black Sea at 9 pm. At which the USA whom was flying around and spying upon things that are none of their business. Got an expensive drone pissed upon by kerosene while in mid flight. Oops…
1. The United States intends, through the State Department, to discuss with the Russian Foreign Ministry the incident in the Black Sea, which led to the loss of the MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance and strike UAV. It can also be assumed that there will be closed contacts along the line of “deconflicting” through the defense departments…
2. The United States also expressed concern about the incident, a little earlier in an official statement by the European command of the US army, accusing the pilots of the Russian aircraft of unprofessionalism…
3. Formally, the United States cannot accuse Russia of destroying the UAV, since they themselves admit that they had to finish it off on their own. Therefore, they will rest on the fact that the discharge of kerosene and damage to the propeller had fatal consequences…
4. Depending on the configuration, the lost drone could cost around 30 million dollars each…
5. The Russian fighter jets involved in the incident over the Black Sea returned safely to the airfield in Crimea. With sill plenty of kerosene fuel in its tanks…
6. ~~ It is said that a huge Black Sea Gull was looking for a mate in the area? ~~
By the way, here is the official Russian statement…
The official statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the situation with the fallen American drone:
1. On the morning of March 14 this year. over the waters of the Black Sea in the area of the Crimean peninsula, the airspace control of the Russian Aerospace Forces recorded the flight of an American MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle in the direction of the State Border of the Russian Federation;
2. The flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle was carried out with transponders turned off, violating the boundaries of the area of the temporary regime for the use of airspace, established for the purpose of conducting a special military operation, communicated to all users of international airspace and published in accordance with international standards;
3. In order to identify the intruder, fighters from the air defense forces on duty were raised into the air. As a result of sharp maneuvering around 9.30 (Moscow time), the MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle went into uncontrolled flight with a loss of altitude and collided with the water surface;
4. Russian fighters did not use airborne weapons, did not come into contact with an unmanned aerial vehicle and returned safely to their base airfield.
