From Freeper this alarming [?] headline original article THE DRIVE and  the article by JOSEPH TREVITHICK.

"B-52 Bombers Fly Unprecedented Patrol Along Edge Of Russian-Controlled Territory In Ukraine (Updated)"

"In another unprecedented show of force aimed at Russia, U.S. Air Force B-52H Strato-fortress bombers flew from the United Kingdom to Ukraine airspace earlier today. After arriving there, they orbited for an extended period right at the edge of the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula and near areas under the control of Kremlin-supported separatists."

BUT NOT UNPRECEDENTED! THINK GIANT LANCE FROM OVER FIFTY YEARS AGO!

"Operation Giant Lance was an undercover military operation by the United States in which the primary objective was to apply military pressure towards the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Initiated on October 27th, 1969, President Richard Nixon authorized a squadron of 18 B-52 bombers to patrol the glacier caps around Moscow and escalate the nuclear threat poised. The goal was to coerce both the Soviet Union and North Vietnam to agree on favourable terms with the US, and conclusively end the Vietnam war"

GIANT LANCE A SHOW-OF-FORCE VICINITY THE ARCTIC PERIPHERY OF THE SOVIET UNION NUCLEAR WEAPONS INTIMIDATION THE GOAL!!

Intimidation worked? The archives in Moscow have the final world? Maybe we will never know?
