First off long range bombers are an offensive threat not defensive like the missle shield. The missle shield is design to shoot down incoming missles after the threat has already been launched. Bombers are not. They are part of an offensive tactic. Are they trying to tells us something. Looks like the ole Ruskies are reniging on their peace treaty they have with us. Oh and I suppose you all believe those offensive missles of theirs are not pointed at us anymore either.

Oh god, who caaaaaaaaaaares. We'll deploy a missile shield, they'll station some bombers, we'll point missiles, they'll point missiles, some politicians will get really angry, Oliver Stone will make a movie, and life will go on uninterrupted.

This entire situation is pretty retarded, with thousands of nuclear missiles there is no way a handful of interceptor rockets threatens russia's security. Likewise however, with advanced radar and american air superiority, a few bombers in cuba wouldnt pose a threat either. Russia is just having a hissy fit that we are 'interfering' in their historical sphere of influence and want to return the favor. Russia still has submarine based missles chugging around our coasts and we return the favor. At this point there is no threat and it is all political posturing.

Russian bombers in Cuba would be perceived as a threat and America would take swift action. The sole purpose of these fighters would be to damage America, there is not an iota of a defensive posture in this kind of strategy. The cold war appears to be heating up again. Pride has abandoned reasoning. What good will this do if it leads to nations crushed in their own rubble?

Maybe they are imagining that we have placed bombers near there border so we could more readily annihilate them.

The world may not exist much longer as we know it, but that won't take the fight out of freedom and human rights loving people.

And how do we think President Obama would handle a situation like this?

Seems really straightforward to me.
military threat when that's mc cain's only perceived threat = mc cain win = continuing dependence on foreign oil = more money for russia's state run oil companies.

well let me say this the world is getting ready for world war III. Their setting the stage for it. Thats why we are putting missile defence systems in the Czech Repubilc and Poland. Russia sees That as a missile launch site against them. even Though we have the peace treaty with Them There saying 'screw the americans' under their breath while smiling and waving at us. They already said that if we attack Iran or Isreal attack them That WE(americans) will suffer The consequinces Of our and isreals actions. Iran will Fight Us In The middle east and I hate to say it But Russia will Come to fight On Our land The USA.Thats why Their Putting Up Bombers in cuba. People Here need to wake up and relize that their ready to attack us here if we attack Iran. and lets not forget venizuela. They hate us. and will help russia on our soil. Then Our friends will attack Them and their friends their. and so on and so forth. People here In The U.S.( The baby boomers and Their kids) need to Understand just because we live Here dosn't mean Your nececeraly safe. They just need to Pray that we or isreal dosn't attack Iran.
