America’s foes know they can no longer push us around. And that is leading to increased tensions.
Particularly around North Korea and Japan, where something very dangerous was just spotted in the skies.
Following his showdown with President Trump over Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin is now making his presence felt in the North Korea nuclear crisis.
He’s likely none-too-pleased that Trump managed to get China on our side.
So, Putin has deployed nuclear-capable bombers to the area, and they were seen flying near Japan this week.
Fox News reports:
For the first time in nearly three months, Russia flew nuclear-capable ‘Bear’ bombers near Japan, Wednesday, the latest sign of increasing tensions in the region, two US officials tell Fox News.
The officials said three Russian Tu-95 Bear bombers took off from a base in eastern Russia flying in the Sea of Japan and remained in international airspace.
One U.S. official described the Russian bomber flight as ‘clearly meant to send a message.’
Joining the three Russian long-range bombers was a IL-20 spy plane.
