Russian Strategic Bombers Conduct More Than 16 Incursions of U.S. Air Defense Zones

Russian strategic nuclear bombers conducted at least 16 incursions into northwestern U.S. air defense identification zones over the past 10 days, an unusually sharp increase in aerial penetrations, according to U.S. defense officials.

The numerous flight encounters by Tu-95 Russian Bear H bombers prompted the scrambling of U.S. jet fighters on several occasions, and come amid heightened U.S.-Russia tensions over Ukraine.

Also, during one bomber incursion near Alaska, a Russian intelligence-gathering jet was detected along with the bombers.

I was just thinking that we don't have enough magazines and editorial boards permeated with neocon fear-mongering and propaganda. I'm sure glad the Washington Free Beacon filled the void.

No doubt Russia is poking the US, but.........

Also, during one bomber incursion near Alaska

How "near" Alaska. There are literally places in AK where you can see Russia (not including Sarah Palin's brain). St. Lawrence Island is 37 miles from Russia...my ex used to crab up there around that island in the Bering Sea.. There are other places, like the Diomede Islands (Big in Russia, Little Diomede in the US, they're less than 3 miles apart...it's not like Russia is a far away place from AK. When the sea freezes one could walk from the US to Russia.

I'm assuming this part of the article wasn't juicy enough to post as part of the quote:

"Smith called the Russian flights “a spike in activity” but sought to play down the threat, stating the flights were assessed as routine training missions and exercises."
