Blimey you sound positively soviet.

"flying so close to our long range marine patrol aircraft is an
obvious & reckless provocation".

To just repeat the links found rapidly & posted to Richard:

I can find more faily easily e.g. by expanding the search to include words

So the US was engaged in a blatantly reckless provocation, not a sunday
stroll in the park?
