Now here this.

Anyone who reads this kind of thing and can say he would feel safer with Obama in charge during times like this is beyond help.

Large tugs and rescue assets notified from Halifax to P.R....

There it is “poof” where did it go ????

[Lee Stetson]

You know, it is possible that some Russians ships might just get “lost” in the Bermuda triangle.

"In a display meant to show off Russia's military resurgence and to provoke the United States,..."

...not to "provoke," as Londoners would have us believe, but to desensitize. We'll get used to it as Russia's CSTO builds to take the northern half and China, to take the southern half. The Islamist nations will also distract and divert in the meantime before joining the efforts of the other two.

But that's alright, folks. There aren't all that many anti-ship missiles and ICBMs among those nations. Just keep the money and oil flowing. [Little irony there.]

the manoeuvres represent the Kremlin's boldest challenge yet to US military hegemony.

ROFL...what a comedian!

[Billthedrill]

Ah, what I'd give to see a periscope shot of this ship in the crosshairs published next to this guys hand-wringing screed. You wouldn't even have to caption it.

If I were planning it we'd have a couple of carrier battle groups escorting them there. Sort of an expensive gesture but the point would be made. Just a thought.

Russia is starting to act like a child crying out for attention.

[Ronin]

Big whoop.

A cruiser, a tin can and a screen. Five minutes work for any CVBG — if that. Not to mention they are going to be in range of land so the Air Force has an opportunity for some fun tracking exercises.

I can’t imagine anyone getting seriously perturbed about this.

Where are the “Pirates of the Caribbean” when you need them?! :)

[DoughtyOne]

By sailing so close to the American coastline for a series of exercises with Washington's principal detractor in Latin America, Russia seems to be deliberately attempting to irritate the White House.

Yep, real close to the coastline of the United States, what 500 to 800 miles. Give me a break Telegraph. They may come within a hundred miles of Puerto Rico, but I doubt very much that Russia is going instigate an incident.
