While the boy genius is preoccupied with ISIS (to the extent that he is), Putin is apparently throwing in a few complications.

The Russkis love us now because we elected the first half black/half assed president. They were just dropping by to say hello and congratulate Barry for his Nobel.

Thanks for the post.

So in the past 4 weeks the Russian airforce has violated the airspace of Finland, Japan, Sweden, and the United States in provocative test runs. Putin is trying the limits of Obozo’s promised “flexibility” and finding no resistance.

Move along, nothing to see here...

Hell, nothing new here.

The Russians played the same game back in 1958 when my CIC was a guy by the name of Eisenhower.

They just wanted to see how long it took for us to launch our F-102 Delta Daggers.

I will just admit it, I’m not at all educated on what they mean by “Intercepted”. Are they saying the American fighters BLOCKED the Russian Warplanes or simply ENCOUNTERED them. An interception in football is where player A catches the ball meant for player B.

Relax, Pete, Obama's got your back, he'll pull the pin when it's time to reward your "loyalty".

The Russians are getting a bit more sporty. I’m surprised that we’re even still able to scramble aircraft to protect the homeland - we certainly couldn’t do it on 9/11 and we’ve only GUTTED the military since then.

AMERICAN FIGHTERS INTERCEPTED RUSSIAN WARPLANES OVER ALASKA

or

US fighters intercepted six Russian military aircraft in the area of ​​Alaska.

Other sources say it was 55 miles off the coast, which is considerably different from "over Alaska".

Gee, Sarah Palin can see Russian warplanes from her house now!

(Sarcasm directed at libtards (AKA walking, talking piles of sh*t) who think Tina Fey is Palin...)
