The Tu-95 Bear H bombers flew into the Alaska zone on April 22. But unlike most earlier incursions, no U.S. interceptor jets were dispatched to shadow them, said defense officials familiar with the latest U.S.-Russian aerial encounter.

Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a spokesman for the U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), declined to confirm the incursion. But he said no jets were dispatched last week to intercept intruding aircraft.

So.... we no longer send U.S. Fighter Jets to intercept Russian Nuclear Bombers flying over Alaska?

wouldn’t want to be unnecessarily provacative to the russians. they might invade crimea, or in interfere with our mideast policy if we were to piss them off.

Russia knows with the Dems in power, we’re weak, either afraid to do anything or oblivious to danger.

Who knows for sure? Maybe this is just Obama being more flexible with the Russians, just like he promised.

Putin can see, the 'FARCE' is strong in this one.
