Sounds like Turkey is really enforcing the Montreaux Convention.
Ben Affleck, Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, or John Krasinski?
Yeah, yeah, Ukies week take back Crimea any day now!
Really, this time for sure!
Snake, Snake, Snake… how many times have you advanced the idea that “soon” Ukraine would be in Crimea? Are they paving the avenue of advance with Ukrainian bones? That would be a Neocon dream come true.
capture rockets on the high seas? You’ll have to read closely and study the fine print. The US Navy has been inspecting cargos in the Arabian Sea since Gulf War I. Note that you haven’t heard about Somali pirates bothering anyone for quite some time. SOP is/was to check the boat, deep six any weapons, disable all but one engine, and leave them enough gas to get back to shore. Unless they fired they lived to tell about it so’s the word got passed.
Our guys typically capture weaponry and related stuff that can be used for training at places like Fort Irwin. Larger weapons and related milsup stuff is going to get confiscated and either deep-sixed or saved for an ally. Someplace/ Somewhere there is probly an inventory list of captured stuff but you will never find it. As a point of interest , tho, you can watch for ships leaving North Korea. They are always intercepted and inspected. And if they don’t turn on their ID beeper they might get sunk because, after all, they don’t exist——right?
Sounds like a USN or other nation interception of Houthi or Hezbollah supplies.
You can’t steal arms when you are at war. You simply seize them or capture them. The claim of felony action is again, by a reporter or writer, downright stupid. These people either don’t think or the simply propagandize or both.
This is ROFL material, thanks for the entertainment :-)
I’d call this whole war wacky, but with all the killing, the money laundering, etc…
If Crimea is recaptured, Putin is a dead man. Therefore it seems to be he would be more than willing to use a tactical nuke to prevent such an event, if faced with his own death.
