Putin is slowing freezing the relations between Russia and the West once again. The Cold War was never over, it just took a break for a while, a la WWI and WWII.

With Russia's new found oil reserves, they feel strong again.

Stories are conflicting! :shock:
During the Bear patrols off Alaska, lots of 'messages' were exchanged. I recall one photo of a crewmember in a bubble on the Bear showing the F-15 pilots a Playboy Magazine. Other gestures were more universal. :twisted:

Russians Didn’t Pass Guam, U.S. Says


WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (Reuters) — The Pentagon on Friday rejected a claim by the Russian military the day before that the Russians had resumed bomber flyovers in American territory, saying that the planes did not fly near Guam or close enough to any American ships to prompt an order to intercept them.

According to a Pentagon spokesman, Lt. Cmdr. Chito Peppler, two Russian aircraft were detected Wednesday flying south over the Pacific toward Guam. Another Defense Department official said the Russian bombers were about 305 miles from Guam and about 100 miles from any American aircraft.

On Thursday, the head of long-range aviation in the Russian Air Force, Maj. Gen. Pavel Androsov, said Russia had resumed cold war-style missions to areas patrolled by the United States.

He said that a Russian strategic bomber flew over the United States naval base at Guam and that American aircraft were scrambled to track the Russian aircraft. He added that the Russian and American pilots “exchanged smiles.”
