Those bombers have been testing UK air defences for decades....this is little more than a well timed poke at Obama because of the stance taken over the troubles in the Asian theatre.

Of course yubba is to ignorant to point out that these Russian aircraft were in international air space all the time, that US fighters were sent up too!! Funny how he skips over the facts, but what else would you expect from a neocon.

I first noticed it awhile ago. Now every time I see his post I have to sit and watch until she does it. It's become an obsession.

Noted communist sympathizer and left-wing fifth columnist Ronald Reagan let this happen constantly as well.
But he had no recollection of those events.

Don't be so political. Yubba gives neocons a bad name.

From the late 50's until 1991 they got "escorted" by Air National Guard,Air Force, and Navy units all the time.Putin had them start flying along borders again back in 2007.Wonder why no one made a big deal about it?(it was when Bush was in office).

I find it funny how the article ignores the fact that there was a US military training exercise going on at the same time a major purpose of an exercise in to show possible foes that your ready of course a rival might decide to show up and say "we are watching you".Not really a big deal and I very highly doubt that the Tu-95s where carrying live nuclear warheads.
