Oh my
judas priest
this is an act of war, a provocation that is just as bad as any
If only Neville Chamberlain weren’t our leader
Did somebody’s loose lips do that???
On second thought it looks like a rust bucket.
OK, so why aren’t the environmentalist wackos all over this one.
Vlad is really losing face here on FR, only weeks after there was a FR/Putin lovefest over his restrictions on gay propaganda.
Had he said he was sinking the vessel to keep Ukrainian gays from infiltrating mother Russia, he might have gotten some of that love back.
Do you think they’d mind if we block the Bosphorus?
I think we’ve all been waiting for the Russians to provoke the Ukrainians into shooting.
That's not how this is supposed to work.
In retaliation Barack Obama has ordered the sinking of the the USS Ronald Reagan. “Ha! Top THAT Putin!”
It would be a pity if anyone blocked the Bosporus...
What’s next? Fire ships?
I don’t really know which side is right on this. It could be they are both wrong. All I know is that if you really want to get things screwed up, let Hillary and Obama get involved and fix things like they did in Libya. That really worked out.
Naval blockades are considered acts of war.
they know Russia`s underbelly is Moscow.
All they goona do is ally with the Chechens to send couple nice-looking broads to Moscow to blow up their subways agin bigtime.
Watch for it!
Wow ! Sounds like that Ukrainian naval unit can’t be surrounded by land. Beef up the forces there then clear that channel by any means.
For the Russians to do this demonstrates this was pre planned and our and other foreign spy agencies were caught flatfooted. Including sending in troops with unmarked uniforms to seize control over key installations and cities which the Russians are claiming are “locals”.
What some agency should do is snatch a couple of those camoflaged unmarked “aggessors” parading aound in one of those big towns and identify what Russian army units they’re with. Hand them over to the suitable Ukrainian ministry so that they could use this format. Parade the captives out, call for a UN meet, and make some noise.

Those Ukrainian ships and crew now belong to Mother Russia. Russia has ordered that all Ukrainian military personnel in The Crimea lay down their arms and either be part of the Russian Military, or be escorted to the Ukrainian border. They cannot escape now.
Where’s GreenPeace, Save the Oceans, the Sierra Club?
Silent,, everyone of them.
