Russia sends spy ship near US coast, deploys banned missiles at home

[Auld Phart]

If democrats are successful in dismantling our duly elected government, the only way to stop them might well be the Russians. We are much safer with Russian ships nearby than relying on enemy democrats.

There you have it. The traitorous right has now officially sold their souls to Russia just like Trump has.

Maybe Tillerson should take a rest button to Russia on his first visit.

And now we see what kind of a pansy Trump is. Did his admin even mention this series of events and articulate the U.S.' official position on them?

A Russian spy ship was spotted patrolling off the East Coast of the United States on Tuesday morning, the first such instance during the Trump administration -- and the same day it was learned the Kremlin had secretly deployed controversial cruise missiles inside Russia and flew within 200 yards of a U.S. Navy destroyer, U.S. officials told Fox News.

The New York Times first reported that the Obama administration had previously seen the missiles -- then in a testing phase -- as a violation of a 1987 treaty between the U.S. and Russia that banned ground-launched intermediate-range missiles.

But Russia has pressed ahead with its program, apparently testing a Trump administration which has sought better ties with Moscow -- but is also fresh off the loss of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who resigned Monday night in the wake of a scandal surrounding his communications with Russia.

Adding to the aggressive actions, Fox News confirmed a report from The Washington Free Beacon that four Russian jets buzzed the USS Porter in the Black Sea on Friday. The destroyer was roughly 186 miles southwest of Crimea and roughly 50 miles off the coast of Romania, a U.S. official said.

The jets buzzed the destroyer over course of “several hours,” the official said without specifying. A Russian IL-38 maritime patrol aircraft came in first, followed by two Su-24 attack jets, and then a single Su-24. All approached “low and fast,” the official added, saying the ship was conducting “routine operations in international waters.” The USS Porter made repeated radio calls to the Russian jets, but the calls were ignored. The jets had their transponders turned off, the official said.

whatta wuss

I wasn't trying to there. I don't even know why you thought I was such that you'd have broached that extent of though, even doing so sarcastically as you seem to have done. I would have hoped you'd have realized that. Do you really dwell only in the world of extremes? Is that the only measure of how you can read things? Must every stimulus to you be viewed and cast in a binary light?

bud, I'm not the one that posted it like it was the end of the world.

as other posters have noted, they've done it before, often, and will do it again.

It happened under Clinton, Bush, and Obama, and no one started screaming about the sky falling.

It happens under Trump?

"Save me, save me!!"

at least you recognized my post as sarcasm.

(scares the hell out of me that things you let pass under Obama, and his predecessors), you get all up in arms about with Trump in office.

Your faux outrage is very entertaining.

 

[depotoo]

Oh wow, look at this which happened under Obama, while he was reducing sanctions with Cuba-


Dangers of the Cuba – Russia Security Agreement

 

[pwjohn]

You mean, like Obama must have been, as well, considering starting in 2009, the Russians showed up off our shores with their ships and subs, and for years after.

Where's this strong "america first" president now?

Turns out that guy was a Russian mole all along

Well the Russians have no need for that nonsense now with all the Russian moles they have working at the highest levels of the trump administration.

 

[depotoo]

Well, that's odd, since they have one off the coast right now...

The moles predate Trump. They are obama moles that see a way to hurt Trump.
