Hey, don't mock the Russians, this last week they've started running Tupolev nuclear-capable bombers direct towards our airspace again, and turning back at the last minute with our air defence fighters in close escort. Which they haven't done since the good old days of the Cold War when we were all about to get blown up at any second.

Fun!

Oh brilliant. The Republicans here want nothing more than to resurrect Holy Father Ronald Reagan; I guess the new Cold War is unavoidable.

Yep. And the cold war works pretty damned well for Putin too. Only this time he thinks he can win it because the Russians suddenly have a lot of money thanks to their gas reserves that t hey're selling to the EU for vast sums of cold hard foreign currency.
