Russia bombs Georgia...

[VaporTrailx1]

Yep. This isn't really looking too well. The Ruskies have been making comments about "going beyond diplomacy", and saying that the missile defense system in Poland "cannot go unpunished.".

They've also got their bomber patrols back online again after a 15 year hiatus. Tu-95's and Tu-22(Backfire variant) seem to be on regular patrols now with known intrusions into Canadian and Alaskan airspace. Surprisingly not much activity in the North Atlantic yet (at least not that the public knows about).

I think Cold War 2 is almost officially on.
