Russia sent Obama a message regarding nuclear weapons a couple hours before Obama gave his state of the Union Address.
Before the New Start ( Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty ) the Russians made it clear they were not interested in reducing anything. Obama then made it clear that he was willing to reduce U.S. Strategic Arms without the Russian's reducing anything. Russia agreed.
Russia has been modernizing and practicing using Russia's nuclear weapons ever since the New Start Treaty was agreed to. Obama by contrast has been pushing forward with U.S. Nuclear Warhead reductions far in excess of any required by treaty.
Russia's message to Obama three days ago was that they disagreed with Obama's world view that Nuclear war was unthinkable.

The bomber incident was considered highly unusual. Russian strategic bombers are not known to have conducted such operations in the past into the south Pacific from bomber bases in the Russian Far East, which is thousands of miles away and over water.
John Bolton, former U.N. ambassador and former State Department international security undersecretary, said the Russian bomber flights appear to be part of an increasingly threatening strategic posture in response to Obama administration anti-nuclear policies.
“Every day brings new evidence that Obama’s ideological obsession with dismantling our nuclear deterrent is dangerous,” Bolton said. “Our national security is in danger of slipping off the national agenda even as the threats grow.”
