Russia is flying it's tired old bombers to try and look tough.
Aparently they got with in 90 seconds of Hull.
But generally they get close and are then escorted away by fighters.
The new generation of hi-tech ICBMs are maybe something to fear.
There's rather more pressing issues than Putins' rather sorrowful bout of willy waving.

I agree, we can live with the flights, if necessary. We did so for 40 years, but it's a disturbing trend. Russia is arming hostile regimes, pumping up the Russian military, invading bits of the former USSR and generally reheating the Cold War. We can all have Round 2 if that's what's needed, but the American military is less than half its Cold War size and Europe's forces are no better. I'd rather not go down that road again, but there may be no alternative.
With a militairy budget about the size of Germany, and rearming hostiles?
It's selling it's old toys like a broke pensioner rumaging through it's attic.
Frankly Syria and Serbia had top rank Russian jets and they go shot down almost as an afterthought.
If Russia, Brazil, India and China are forming a sort of losers NATO. It's because they're terrified of the US, the US unilaterally squished 3 countries in the last 10 years (admittedly some with good reason).
But DaButt which world leader would you date?
Queen Latifah.

Russia announced a 25% increase in their defense budget. They'll leave Germany in the dust (spending-wise) a few years from now.
I'd never date a politician because I'd never be able to achieve an erection in one's presence. Politicians are a total turnoff.

In sootyj's presence? I wouldn't either if he was wearing that creepy yellow triangle costume.

So, I just knew Italy would come up with the goods. A quick Google of "Italy politician" and everyone say "Ciao" to Mara Carfagna, Silvio Berlusconi's "Minister For Equal Opportunity":
She's OK, but she's no Ruth Kelly.
Oh, and I'd probably go on a date with Barack Obama. If he wasn't wearing those awful Capitol Hill trousers (I mean trousers other than those, not no trousers at all).
He rivals Tony Blair in sliminess.
I don't get slimy at all from Barack. I mean, I'm sure he is, he's a politician, but I haven't seen it yet.
