MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian military aircraft were scrambled to head off a U.S. warship that was acting "aggressively" in the Black Sea, state news agency RIA reported on Saturday, but the Pentagon denied any unusual behavior.

Of course, they deny. As if the Russians don't do the same as soon as they're too close to any borders out of their own...
Earlier this month, both Britain and Sweden said that they had scrambled fighters to intercept Russian bombers near their territory.
Would the Russians deny if they were caught a little too close for comfort, let's say, off the west Coast? Damn right they would.
This is what it feels like to be back into a cold war. The military doing what they're supposed to do...spying and evaluating.
Cold War Tactics is right. Sabre Rattling 101.
I kinda like it when they call these things "incidents". As we see here on road circulation signs, a reported "incident" is always better, way better, than a reported "accident".
And when it come to this Cold War, no one wishes for an "accident".
I think we can all agree on this.
