Putin’s vocabulary does not include the word peace. NATO is a relentless target. The Alaskan borders are always challenged. I am certain Canada has its problems with Russia. Canada’s exposure exceeds most other countries.
NATO has to maintain its strength. Russia is an expensive and never ending threat. As long as Putin and his communists are chasing their ideology it will never change.
Putin looks for cracks in the mantle to exploit and calls it a victory. The threat is real. It isn’t practice. Those jets are loaded for bear. If they get through they will use their weapons.
