[MilCom] Russian MIGS

[Dennis McEwan]

I heard on the news about it; the reporter called it a case of 
sabre-rattling. It was stated
that generally we'll see a pair of bear bombers about 10 times a year 
doing this kind
of thing, but never a group such as this with tankers and fighters along 
for the ride.
They were about 55 miles out, well outside the 12 mile limit, just a 
show of force.

I also heard that Putin is moving to lock the internet out of Russia, 
and there will only be
an internally-controlled internet supplied by the govt, as is the case 
in North Korea. I think
he's going over the edge with all his recent actions, I guess he really 
misses the old days
with the KGB.

See this page about his megalomaniacal leanings. Someone suggested the 
picture on this
site makes him look like a Bond villain.
