it started 50 or more years ago.

Then it stopped for 20 years when the cold war ended.  Now that Russia is making big money with energy sales they can suddenly afford to start doing it again.

It never stopped. Over here we went from about 400 interceptions a year to a low of about 100 during the '90s. Now were back up to Cold War levels again.

maybe they are getting prepared for the release of red dawn.  I believe YOU has uncovered information that the movie is actually a trick to have our troops at the movie theater while the reds attack.  You better stock up on beer and hotdogs, you never know.

Maybe the USN let them think they are stealthy and tracked them the whole way?

^^^^ Or the defence of the USA against large scale exterior threats has diminished to dangerous levels and that America if found in a perilous situation would be up a certain creek without a certain paddling device.

im not to sure about it. but i recall hearing that the us wants to/are building long range missile sites on russias front door.  I believe the russians do not like that.  if i remember correctly they said they will do a pre-emptive strike if we continue. If russia wanted to build some missile silos in say, cuba, what would our attitude be then?

Russia doesn't like anything we do.  Except for a few exceptions like how more Ak-47s are produced for the US consumer market than for all Russia's military and police combined.
