Look on the flipside - Russians are flying bombers over the seas, dropping nothing. Various western nations have no trouble flying bombers and dropping bombs of Afghanistan or Iraq. I fail to see why the former is called "show of force".
I think it's all the usual case of "What's allowed to Jupiter is not allowed to a bull." :hmm:

Hmm... What so non aggressive about sending bomber flights to US soil to test defences and scrambling times? That is completely harmless I guess and maybe the US should send B-1's and B-2's to Russian soil to test its response time too, no? :p:p :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

PS. I assume if we did, Russia would call it an act of war!
