Did Palin lie about experience with Russian planes in U.S. airspace and Alaska?
HalliburtonShill
Well...not really. According to international rules, the airspace of a nation extends three miles past its border, or halfway between two countries if they're three miles or less apart. IOW, if Country A and Country B are a mile apart, each country's airspace is half a mile. The US, on the other hand, claims a 200-mile airspace. The Russians fly within the disputed 197-mile territory, and have ever since they got planes that could make it into this area.
According to US rules, the Russians invade our airspace every chance they get, and Palin is right. According to international rules, the Russians are outside our airspace and Palin is wrong.
