The Superpower Tango

So, just the other day, Russian Bear bombers overflew a US carrier strike group. Historically you don't invade the airspace of a fleet that could pwn a small third world country in a matter of hours, but the Russians did. Why? Well shit, because they can. What better way to show the world that you are once again a major power on the world stage than fuck with the world's only superpower? Nonetheless, the Russian bombers were escorted out of the area by fighters from the USS Nimitz. All pleasantries were of course observed. Seriously, just because there are nukes on my wings, theres no reason we can't be friends.

When the Russian Defense Ministry was asked about the incident, they kindly replied that the situation was under control, as apparently, the USS Nimitz was not at battle stations at the time.













WTF?
