Putin tells the world - 'Attacking Syria again? You'll need to get through me': Russian battleship is positioned between US warships and runway hit by Trump's air strike as Vladimir makes his move
The US military fired more than 50 tomahawk missiles at al-Shayrat military airfield at 8.45pm EDT Thursday
Moves comes just hours after Trump said 'something should happen' following Tuesday's gas-attack atrocity
Trump took action after more than 80 were killed and many more were injured in the Sarin poison gas attack
'Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack,' he said after launching the strike
Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a furious response calling airstrike an 'illegal act of aggression' US called 'a partner of ISIS' by al-Assad's spokesman who said missile strikes are 'reckless and irresponsible' Trump says airfield used to store toxic weapons and was the base for the aircraft involved in the Sarin attack Claims that nine were killed, and more were injured, in the strike which has severely damaged the airbase US told Moscow it was launching an airstrike about 30 minutes in advance - but did not ask for permission

ok Vlad, we got you.
Typical commie is just like a blister. Shows up after the work is done.
The Kuznetsov Broke down on it's way to the Med.
I don't fear the Russian Conventional Armed Forces.
(I DO fear their Nuclear forces though)
It’s a Russian frigate, not a BATTLESHIP. Jeez...

#BREAKING: Syria’s armed forces were warned about US military action hours before strike on Shayrat, military source tells @AFP
We have been bombing Syria every day for months and have 1,000 military personnel inside Syria. What’s the big deal, Vlad?
Yeah right, Vlad...your way under your league if you think you will threaten President Trump, he might send a 300 ton bomb with John McCain strapped to it and then what are you going to do???
‘Russian Battleship’?
Russians haven’t launched a battleship in over a century.
To the MSM every warship is a Battleship.
Just like how every pistol is a glock.
Trump and Putin are trolling the world and they all fell for it.
Rightly so. But under what circumstances would the Russians use them?
LOL, let’s send an Iowa class real battleship out there to meet it.
Armaments of the Russian Admiral Grigorovich frigate leaving the Black Sea on April 7, 2017 following US Tomahawk strikes in Syria - just passed through the Bosphorous Straits in Istanbul, steaming to interdict the US Destroyers that launched the cruise missiles at Syria.
Artillery 1 x 100-mm gun, 2 x 30-mm Kashtan CIWS
Missiles 1 x 8-cell VLS for Kalibr anti-ship/land attack cruise missiles or Oniks anti-ship cruise missiles, 3 x 12-cell VLS for Shtil-1 air defense missiles
Torpedoes 2 x twin 533-mm torpedo tubes
Other 1 x RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket launcher
Russia says US air strikes in Syria came ‘within an inch’ of military clash with their forces
Satellite imagery suggests the base that was struck is home to Russian special forces and military helicopters
Not to worry, Putin got the message.
Maybe it's towing the battleship.
2. Tomahawks are launched vertically. Unless its "battleship" has deck-to-air interceptor missiles, it can do nothing.
3. Putin is secretly glad we hit Assad's base.
