Russia restarts Cold War patrols

while the BBC exposes itself.

"The move came a week after Russian bombers flew within a few hundred miles of the US Pacific island of Guam. "

Do tell Auntie. Can you please explain then why you reported last week that "Russian bombers have flown to the US Pacific island of Guam in a manoeuvre reminiscent of the Cold War era."

Once again in this latest story the BBC are quite happy to quote the Russian version of things but not America's version.

"In last week's incident near Guam, the Russian pilots "exchanged smiles" with US fighter pilots who scrambled to track them, a Russian general said. "

But in last weeks version, after bizarrely claiming the US backed up Russia's version, the BBC quoted the US.

"We prepared to intercept the bombers but they did not come close enough to a US Navy ship or to the island of Guam to warrant an air-to-air intercept," the spokesman said. "

And we are forced to pay for this garbage.
