Now correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't that Russian plane rear end our tanker? Why would the U.S. be liable for that?
Didn't the KC-135 crew call "clear of the runway" when they weren't and the American controller, not realizing they weren't clear of the runway, cleared the Russian for takeoff.

The Americans are to blame.
