    The issue is that because of nuclear treaties between USA and Russia, Russia is required to park their nuclear bombers out in the open. If USA wants Russia to keep them out in the open, they had to make a good argument.

      Are they? They stopped letting the americans tour their nuke facilities a while ago, basically nullifying that part of the agreement. What’s stopping them from doing the same again?

        Yeah the treaty history between USA and Russia is complex. Russia stopped participating a few years ago in the recent version of START. Said they’d still maintain warhead numbers though.
