I wish the Russian people would rid themselves of this termite.

This is not even newsworthy. The US and Russia fly surveillance flights around each other's points of interest routinely. It has been going on for decades.

I coupled it with Putin evidently telling his pilots to prepare for war. That’s obviously what our military service people do, but to say it in public is rather provocative.

If that comment was mis-represented, then I would admit this is a big nothing burger.

As for the actual flight, I do agree it is probably routine. I’m not sure if they changed things up here, but even then it’s not a terribly big deal.

Could have been a trial run against the Channel Islands.
