The Russian
Bear is not yet ready to hibernate in a more peaceful lair
Two bombers,
two fighters and two tankers come within 55 miles of Alaskan air
This is a
game that has happened 50 times in the last five years
A dangerous
game of hide and seek played too close to our frontiers
This time
two F-22s scrambled to intercept and the Russians turned back
Another
reminder as we cut our military that our vigilance cannot go slack
The bombers and
tankers must have lit up NORAD’s radar screens
Without
stealth technology the planes would have been easy to be seen
In a game of
hide and seek what if the U.S. decided with a B-2 to hide?
Flew to the
borders of Russian airspace and loitered for an hour just outside
If no
Russian jets appeared because their radar to stealth was blind
We notified
them we had been there and perhaps these games should unwind
Hide and
seek with nukes is a far too dangerous game
A mistake
and the world as we know it goes up in flames
Sadly
another example of a world that the U.S. no longer fears or respects
Knowing it
faces from an administration words not acts and words it can reject
