Forbes: Five NATO Spy Planes Converge As U.S. Air Force B-52s Spring Their Biggest Intel Trap Yet

I personally would love both sides to stop this...

"I personally would love both sides to stop this..." Agreed!! I think there are easy steps the US and its "allies" could take that would lessen tensions. For example, halt the expansion of NATO and stop interfering in Eastern Europe. These moves carry little to no downside risk and much upside potential. As for Russia, they could stop backing Iran. Perhaps if we are reasonable in certain areas they may be more inclined to be as well but, again, regardless of the situation a change in policy in eastern Europe carries little downside risk and much upside potential.
