I'm sure they have, my point is that we've been doing the same exact shit to them for years. I just hate the double standard that these opinion pieces always try to portray as if we don't make the same kind of power plays if not more than they do. Also the writer didn't even research the kind of planes the Russians were flying for more than 10 seconds claiming that the Tu-95's they're flying are from the '1950s' - there are no existing Tu-95's from the old 1950's variants still being flown, the earliest designs that they fly are the Tu-95Ms which were not even in production until the 1980's.
The melting of the arctic is probably the best thing to happen to Russia for ages.
