Under Trump they didn't stop them either. Do you know what does escorting mean? If some foreign bombers fly in the the international water zone
near the US border, the USAF
must send their jet-fighters for escort (to keep an eye on them) in case if they decide to attack. This is a common international practice. Russian jets are escorting the US bombers near Russian borders too and this is a standard routine for all armies on planet Earth.
Just FYI: those Russian bombers (I men
these) are not real bombers in the classic meaning. They are cruise missile carriers and actually they don't have to cross the country border to nuke it, because they are equipped with super-sonic
X-55 nuclear cruise missiles with operational range up to 3000 km.
