Two things:

1. They need THAT many ships for how many Russians in the Gaza Strip? Are there even 25 Russians in Gaza?

This is simply trying to intimidate the Israelis.

2. I wish OUR country had done at least this when our consulate in Benghazi was attacked and the Ambassador and three others were killed.

Shows you which nation is a paper tiger, huh?

The Russians always vacation in Gaza. You know thousands flock there during holiday. Great shops, restaurants, bars, night clubs, beautiful Mediterranean beeches. //sarcasm off//

We have 3 ships there .. maybe it was making Russia nervous.

Our president may be ignorant .. but our military sure isn’t.

Hardly to "intimidate the Israelis" -- the Russian navy is a bunch of rusty tugs that can barely invade cyprus

The Russian army is a different thing, but the navy -- nah.. Israel could knock them out in a second -- and the Russians know this
