Return of cold war tactics

This news story about the Russians flying to an US Airforce base in Guam in the Pacific Ocean made me giggle a bit, though also wonder if there is more to it, than the obvious wish from Russia to show, that they still have some goods left and apparently is ready to cross swords, if it becomes necessary.

Tupolev Tu-95 Bear which was the plane used for the operation can carry nukes and is the Russian counterpart to the B52 Stratofortress.
