What's the big deal?

We are back to playing tag like we used to during the Cold War. Day in and day out, we played "tag, you're it" with our Russian counterparts.

Why is such a big deal being made of this?
Because it's more than just a game of "tag."

Russian plane has near-miss with passenger aircraft over Sweden | World news | The Guardian

Do we wait until there's an actual incident?

How about what happened over Hainan Province - where a PRC J8II collided with an EP-3E Aries, forcing it to land in China?

The Russian downing of KAL 007? MH 17?

What's good for the goose . . . .
