The U.S. Navy is sending a destroyer into the Black Sea in the coming days as a symbolic gesture of support for Ukraine and other allies in the region, according to two senior defense officials.
The USS Donald Cook, a guided missile destroyer based in Rota, Spain, and will travel to the Black Sea "in the next week or so," according to one senior defense official.
The ship will take part in to-be-scheduled exercises with allies in the region — most likely pass exercises, where ships from different nations pass one another while at sea — and the Donald Cook will make several to-be-scheduled port calls.

I can remember when we didn’t announce to the world when we were going into the Black Sea.

Agreed- complete idiocy: combines all the risks of possible armed confrontation with the certainty of a humiliating defeat.
After watching his performance on TV yesterday, it seems an unavoidable conclusion that we a governed by a psychopathic, narcissistic liar with no grip on any reality outside his fantasies.

Time for a port call to Odessa.

Because you wouldn’t want the US to defend a free sovereign people from Russian military aggression and occupation?

... as a symbolic gesture of support for Ukraine I'm sure the people of Ukraine appreciate the symbolism...while Putin laughs.
