Funny,
I actually don't mind. Its not like China is doing the bomber flights - hell its great practice. And look at the bright side, it'll give us something to do. Their crews get practice they haven't had since the collapse - that will spur innovation on both sides of the fence. Hell maybe it'll spawn new safety innovations for both sides, especially with long range radio navigation being the main obstacle when over water or going over the pole.
That aside, we'll get to make those nifty cartoon plates u stick up to windows again. Though, I don't think Playboy will be quite to lure it was 20 years ago since most of the superhoes are usually farmed out after a brief stay at Hefner's pad.
Kidding aside, it'll keep both sides up to practice. And lets face it, the TU series has as much capability in blowing up islamic targets as any other bomber around. When viewed using that lens, the goals seem to be a bit more congruent.
