#1 Seems like they want to poke the american eagle with a sharp pointed stick, then whine about their missing fingers.

#2 The Rooski Bear drivers may want to line their underpants with tinfoil to prevent glow-in-the-dark testicle syndrome. I'm guessing every target acquisition and fire control radar in the neighborhood is turned up to 11.

This is basically cheap political theater. Bears are dangerous a couple hundred miles out. If there was a real threat, they would be dealt with there.

#4 "To get close to the U.S. carrier, the Russian plane intruded into a South Korean-controlled air defense zone"

I have an issue with that does anyone else?

#6 Everybody is still twiddling their thumbs to see iff the escalations between "anti-lame duck" Dubya + 'Iran will never stop" Moud will hit the fan and turn mil vv ANTI-US MULTI-FRONT WAR SCENARIOS - iff not this May-July, then to wait again in the Fall while the USA is heavily preoccupied wid the 2008 elex. The colder the better for tech-poor North Korea [Taiwan?]. A ME EVENT(S) MAY BE THE ORIGINAL CATALYST, BUT IRAN DESIRES TO BE INVADED BY THE US/US-ALLIES VV ASYMMETRIC PEOPLE'S WAR, WHICH LEAVES ANY GROUND/CONVENTIONAL "OFFENSE" MAINLY TO THE NOKORS???
