I'm sure that marine and airspace incursions by russian craft are just happy accidents... I'm sure Putin's veiled (or explicit) threats against NATO countries (and Google has plenty of these) are just him being humorous Also the cyberattacks (some by Russian gov. APTs, some by entites tolerated by the gov) are just inoccent as well. Not to forget the Internet Research Agency.

"Incursion" is a very misleading term for these and I wish the press would stop parroting it (including with regards to China/Taiwan). Russia's flying planes into the ADIZ, not the 12 mile limit as recognized by international treaties. It's international airspace; ADIZs don't exist in international law; the US made the first one up out of thin air and others followed. We fly close to the Russian and Chinese coasts, well within their own air defense zones, on a daily basis. We also deliberately sail ships within China's declared territories; we just like to call them "freedom of navigation operations" when that happens instead of "incursions" when others do it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FONOPs_during_the_Obama_Administration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FONOPs_during_the_Obama_Admini...
