Hello? Uh, hello? Hello, Dmitri? Listen, I can't hear too well, do you suppose you could turn the music down just a little? A-ha, that's much better. Yeah, yes. Fine, I can hear you now, Dmitri. Clear and plain and coming through fine. I'm coming through fine too, eh? Good, then. Well then, as you say, we're both coming through fine. Good. Well, it's good that you're fine, and - and I'm fine. I agree with you. It's great to be fine. Now then, Dmitri, you know how we've always talked about the possibility of something going wrong with the bomb. The BOMB, Dmitri. The hydrogen bomb. Well now, what happened is, uh, one of our base commanders, he had a sort of - Well, he went a little funny in the head. You know. Just a little funny. And uh, he went and did a silly thing...

I had a great-uncle fly with SAC out of Fairbanks, Alaska in the 1960's. He said they always flew to the edge of Soviet airspace, and the Soviets flew to the edge of our airspace, all of the time to test the response time and techniques of their foe. Nothing new here.

Happens all the time. They used to have an intercept board on the BX wall. Listed number of intercepts by squadron for the month.

We have a whole generation of media that will fake like they don't remember what happened last week if it helps "the cause".

dispatched two F-22 stealth fighters late Monday to intercept a pair of Russian bombers


I wonder how long they tooled alongside before they let the Russkies know they were there? Just sandbagging the response time.

I was stationed there in the early to mid 80s; this shite happens all the time. They intercept us too.

That TU-95 crew didn't know they were there until visual contact

If you think this happens all the time then you are crazy. This is very rare and is and a valid reason to be alarmed. Typically, when a country does this, it's Government is preparing to launch an all out attack and I hope that we are prepared for WAR!
