Ummm...what did they expect? This is what usually happens when a Bear does a buzz over a carrier. SOP as far as the USN is concerned.

As far as I can tell, it's Russia who have been spouting the cold war rhetoric, so why shouldn't we respond the same way? Regardless, if ANY country did that I'm pretty sure the response would have/should have been the same. Doesn't matter if it was Russia, China, Canada or Britain.
