Putin Just Sent Nuclear Bombers Over the English Channel, Seriously

It’s no secret Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to turn back the clock to a time when the Soviet Union strutted on the world’s stage, the only superpower offering a true counterweight to the U.S. On Thursday, though, Russia took steps – some alarming, some weird – that seemed aimed at reigniting the Cold War.
The U.K.’s Royal Air Force scrambled fighter jets on Thursday after a pair of nuclear-capable Russian bombers flew across a busy civilian air traffic corridor above the English Channel. The bombers had their transponders turned off, British officials said, making them invisible to many air traffic control systems. The incident disrupted multiple flights – and ended with the U.K. government demanding the Russian ambassador appear at the Foreign Office to explain the actions.
On the same day, a Russian lawmaker proposed legislation that would condemn the reunification of East and West Germany in 1989 after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The proposal, supported by Duma Speaker Sergey Naryshkin, a close Putin ally, would declare the reunification an illegal “annexation” of East Germany by West Germany.

Talk of a new Cold War has been commonplace in recent months, but on Thursday Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union and someone who can legitimately be said to have helped end the Cold War, struck a distinctly pessimistic tone in comments to Interfax, the Russian news service.
The U.S. and Russia, he said, are already in a new Cold War. “Unfortunately I cannot say for sure that a cold war won't lead to a ‘hot’ one,” Mr. Gorbachev was quoted as saying. “I fear they could take the risk.”

Nothing's "about to get real".

Desperate measures from a country on the brink of collapse.

Your President doesn't care.

Overreact much?
We have a weak leader so other countries are going to flex muscle, but it's nothing new.

nah I wouldn't make too much of this. no need to be in a panic mode. shite is not about to hit the fan. this may have been one of russia's last hoorahs before their economy goes further down the drain.
once that happens all putin is going to do is blame America and whoever is in the European Unior (namely the Western European States)

Lol.
Russians have to be #2 in the brainwashed category, after North Korea.

Me neither, but it doesn't sound good.

Anyone ever read red storm rising by Tom Clancy?
I know it's fiction, but his fiction is always very plausible. Desperate countries do desperate things to claw back to supremacy. Their economy is tanking, doesn't mean they won't try to start shite just to get some concessions from West.
