Two Russian nuclear-armed bombers circled the western Pacific island of Guam this week in the latest sign of Moscow’s growing strategic assertiveness toward the United States.

The Russian Tu-95 Bear-H strategic bombers were equipped with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles and were followed by U.S. jets as they circumnavigated Guam on Feb. 12 local time—hours before President Barack Obama’s state of the union address.

Air Force Capt. Kim Bender, a spokeswoman for the Pacific Air Force in Hawaii, confirmed the incident to the Washington Free Beacon and said Air Force F-15 jets based on Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, “scrambled and responded to the aircraft.”

“The Tu-95s were intercepted and left the area in a northbound direction. No further actions occurred,” she said. Bender said no other details would be released “for operational security reasons.”

  1. Russia isn’t our open enemy, but they are wanting us to go as bankrupt as they did so they can become a major player on the worlds stage. Unfortunatly for their plan once the economy of the western nations collapse (I don’t know how they have kept from collapsing this long) they will take down the rest of the world.

  2. These are the type of events that occur when a perceived wimp occupies the Oval Office, but there is a reason for the wimp’s weakness, and it has to do with bringing about the United States’ demise as a free republic and heavy weight player on the world stage.

    One can call it what they will, but I call it high treason and sedition. Obama’s way to “get whitey.”
