They look ancient but the Bears can fly forever and deliver nukes 1000+ miles away via cruise missile.

ICBMs are probably obsolete now due to space weapons. I’d bet money that any unannounced space launch would be shot down immediately these days.

We can blow up rogue missiles but we can’t prohibit planes from flying 500 miles from our shore.

International waters is 12 miles off the coast. Thus far and as far as the general public knows, they have not breached U.S. waters/air space. Only for fishing vessels is the 200 mile limit

They are simply testing our response time. No need to get upset until they breach our national waters/air space but when they do let’s hope that Obemba responds accordingly and shoots them down with overkill.

But if we had the political will, we have technology that could cause them to have "accidents"...

“ICBMs are probably obsolete now due to space weapons.”

What weapons?

“We can blow up rogue missiles. . .”

We can? Patriot is only effective during the terminal phase of delivery, and if an airborne detonation is planned, maybe too late.
