And the US wouldn't be a "touchy bunch" if it were Russia flying recon in the Gulf of Mexico?

The US didn't get overly concerned with the Russians circling around Guam - this despite the fact that the TU95 is a nuclear capable bomber whereas the RC135 is a converted cargo plane. How would you feel if the US was flying B52s around Russian occupied Crimea instead of RC135s?

Careful there. You’re supposed to pretend that grania isn’t Russian.
