What's Putin up to Now?

Russian bombers reportedly penetrate U.S. Airspace sixteen times in the last ten days?  This comes after Putin announces a a food ban on imports from EU countries and the United States.  The new Russian Emporer is on a roll.

This from the Washington Times:   "Russian strategic nuclear bombers conducted at least 16 incursions into northwestern U.S. air defense identification zones over the past 10 days, an unusually sharp increase in aerial penetrations, according to U.S. defense officials. The numerous flight encounters by Tu-95 Russian Bear H bombers prompted the scrambling of U.S. jet fighters on several occasions, and come amid heightened U.S.-Russia tensions over Ukraine. Also, during one bomber incursion near Alaska, a Russian intelligence-gathering jet was detected along with the bombers."
