There was a big debate recently here in SWJ as to who was a more serious threat to the US--IS or Russia and many voted for IS and tended to not see the Russian threat and now---who potentially threatens the US more--black flag wavers sitting in Iraq and Syria or a Russian military now on "full war footing alert" with a really loose nuclear trigger finger??
Actually an easy choice it seems.
And the war footing alerts just keep on rolling in.
Almost inevitable: Russian Air Force will make a "surprise" combat alert and scramble its Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 long-range bomber fleet
