A. Van - Russian aircraft didn't overfly U.S. territory tens or hundreds of times. They entered U.S. controlled airspace which is completely different.

And the U.S. has entered Russian airspace and got shot at.

So overflight on a country by foreign military aircraft is generally not accepted, especially after several offiicial warnings to the offending country.
