Earlier this month, a pair of Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers approached the Pacific Island of Guam — home to a major U.S. military base — for the first time since the Cold War.
Last month, two similar bombers briefly entered British air space but turned back after British fighter jets intercepted them. Norwegian F-16s were also scrambled when the Tu-95s headed south along the Norwegian coast in international air space.

Your predictions does not make lots experience, it does not take the ecu under consideration, it does not even point out it is fall, you forget that each and all the ecu international locations already have alliances: with all different member states. different than for the ecu there are others, like the UN and the NATO that are very far from collapsing in 2015. as properly the Belgians and Dutch have a militia alliance that includes all Low international locations, it is called the Benelux Union. besides the territorial dispute between Germany and Poland (and this whilst the Germans have made completely sparkling the Oder-Neisse border is the border of Germany) approximately Opel and Volvo (Opole Voivodeship). France won't be in a position to keep in mind Wallonia because of the easy reason Wallonia has infrequently any cultural tie with them. as properly maximum of those nationwide mergings, the Baltics Scandinavia... are particularly impossible if the ecu fell aside.

The Russians voluntarily stopped long range bomber flights in 1992 due to warmer relations with the west (US) and they're own budgetary problems. Now they have the money to start again plus the US now flies all over formerly Soviet airspace all the time and Russians arent happy about it.
I think they intend to remind US that we dont own the skies of the world like we like to think.

It isn't even an international issue. They fly over, we complain, they look tough to the constituents at home. It's just for a little security with the Russian voters.

Might I suggest that the US has pissed off the Russians?
Bush is being mighty high handed with his anti ballistic missile system, which is illegal anyway, and he refuses to compromise with the Russians.
I think that they have reason to be pissed off.
maybe a little more listening and a few less cliches would help?

No big deal, we do the same thing to them for military reasons.

right now they are just p.o.'d. their country is so decimated and currently the Russian version of the mafia mostly runs things. Putin is trying to unify them so he can restore the old KGB and make Russia more relevant globally.

oh please, everyone knows the russians are in their last throes, i don't expect these bombers to fly for more that two or three missions, if that.
