Since the Russians seem to be returning to a Cold War stance, I thought I'd start a new thread to focus on their tomfoolery.
Quote:Russia jets resume Cold War runs
Russian bombers have flown to the US island of Guam in the Pacific as part of an exercise this week reminiscent of the Cold War.
Two Tu-95 jets flew to Guam, which is home to a big US military base, Maj Gen Pavel Androsov said.
They "exchanged smiles" with US pilots who scrambled to track them, he added.
The sorties, believed to be the first since the Cold War ended, come as Russia stresses a more assertive foreign policy, observers say.
There was another article posted a couple days back about Russia doing the same thing off the coast of Britain, and yet another article yesterday about them flying into Georgian airspace (the country, not the state) and firing a missile into a corn field.
Putin is really pushing hard for Cold War 2.0. Considering the current status of Russia, I don't know what the heck he's pushing for.
On a good note, 20 F22 Raptors were delivered to an Alaskan military base today, so if Russia tries doing Cold War style flyovers of Alaska, our boys will have a new toy to wave back with.
