For the second consecutive night, Russia flew two long-range bombers off the coast of Alaska on Tuesday, this time coming within 36 miles of the mainland while flying north of the Aleutian Islands, two U.S. officials told Fox News.

The two nuclear-capable Tu-95 bombers were spotted by U.S. military radar at 5 p.m. local time.

Runnians flying around Alaska has been standard operating procedure for the Soviets/Russians since the beginning of the Cold War.

Never seen a Russian bomber but yesterday I saw several B-1B’s landing here on Guam. They flew right over Ypao Beach at about 1500 feet with their gear down in broad daylight as we were swiming. One came by about every 2 or 3 minutes.

I see B-52’s there all the time but the B-1B’s are rarer.

These were also escorted by F-15’s which is rather interesting.

I was happy to NOT read they’d been used in a mission this morning.

Today it was V-22 Ospreys flying in to land. Those look really neat from the beach.

Reports say that B-1B’s are for bombing N. Korea if it comes to that.

Actually, we also have the ability to send B1s from Texas to any spot on the globe, drops bombs and return to Texas. Just takes a lot of refueling. Oh and, Dont mess with Texas.

I’m reading that S. Korean General Sun Lin Lee visited Guam recently to review the military assets available to deter N. Korea.

Lets hope there’s no need to use them.

In Todays Top Breaking BOMBSHELL News,

A random piece of 1940s era Pennsylvania steel has been sighted completely covered in rust at old MacDonald’s farm. It seems the farmer has taken to using it as a “cheater” pipe to loosen the bolts on his tractor, a heavy prop rod to hold the gate open while he brings the cows home at night, and as a much needed “persuader” when Bessie doesnt particularly wants to lolly-gag during the process.

This is the most important news of the day and we realize that no one would even think that these things are going on in the world without us telling you about them.
