Don't try to make the Russians out to be some big bad wolf...are they not allowed to fly in they're own airspace?

The Russians are at it again...sorry but that rings silly.

It was meant in a light hearted fashion, god you need to lighten up.

RAF Typhoons intercepted a Russian warplane as it approached British airspace

Much the same as the US did when they flew to Guam the other week

I have yet to decide how I feel about the Russians expanding their operations ala cold war. It may keep the Chinese in check. It may excite new east-west antagonisms. It may strengthen NATO. It may scare the EU. It may be part of the 'new world order' with a tripartate economic alliance (guess which three).

Too early to tell.

Not the first but third time, if I am not counting wrong.

I already adapted to it by now, finding these Russian flights increasingly boring

This is just one big expensive test put on by the Russian Govt to educate us in basic mathematics.

Oh no, the Russians are coming to threaten our ridiculous house prices, stupidly high taxes, obsession with political correctness, non-industial economy based entirely on crap call-centres and our insistance on letting semtex-wielding religious nut-jobs live here! How on Earth are we going to protect and preserve the way of life we hold so dear from this evil threat?!!

Chock
