No shit that’s Russia. That’s the entire game. They’ve been pushing boundaries and forcing jet scrambles in Alaska since the 70’s at least. Always pressing, always taunting, and always 100% the victim if anyone reacts.

They used to describe the Soviets in this way. Like a sea, always pushing to expand ... where you block it, stays; where you push back, it retreats; where you fail to block, it spreads.
