The Russian aircraft carrier fleet is on its way to pass through the English Channel on its way to join Bashar al-Assad's bombing campaign in Syrian city Aleppo, the Ministry of Defence has confirmed. The eight-strong flotilla, led by the Admiral Kuzentsov, has completed training its pilots for bombing missions while it has been tracked by the Royal Navy's HMS Richmond and several NATO vessels. And Vladimir Putin's admirals are keen to ramp up the pressure on Britain's warships by calling in extra assets from the Mediterranean in a mission dubbed 'Operation Sea Fist' by the Russian media. A MOD spokesman said: 'It is pretty unambiguous that they have set a course to pass through the Dover Strait.'

“Putin is clearly taking a stand in Syria and he knows that Backdown Barky will retreat when push comes to shove.”
As he should. We have no business interfering with Syria’s civil war, which wouldn’t have even begun if not for 0b0la’s meddling and the so called Arab spring.
The only thing those animals understand is overwhelming brute force and brutality and the Russians are the only ones willing to give it to them.
0b0la ceded authority of the middle east to whoever wanted it when he abandoned a war that had been won and I’m not willing to send any more of our kids over there to try and take it back.
moslems are mindless animals. Let them kill each other as long as they do it in their own neighborhood.
Let someone else play the role of world police. We have enough problems of our own.
Barky wants to remove Assad and install his Muslim Brotherhood pals in power. That’s all this whole thing is about.
In the process of instigating this he has us supporting ISIS under the guise of helping the “moderate rebels”. Putin knows what’s going on.
You are absolutely right. We had this won but Obama suddenly withdrew and created a power vacuum. ISIS spread like a cancer, hundreds of thousands of people have been slaughtered and waves of immigrants have flooded Europe and elsewhere. Hillary bears her share of blame for this debacle too.
“Another Clinton irony, if we are nuked by the Russians, chances are the bombs uranium came from the USA”
Or if a NATO country is nuked by Russia, the uranium signature will point to the United States.
At least it’s Dover, England, not Dover, Delaware. Or Dover, Tennessee.
The aircraft carrier is said to be nuclear powered, but in every picture it’s trailing smoke like a coal liner. Are they grilling steaks?
Russian fleet navigating in international waters. The horror!
” Vikings crossed with Mongols.”
Great description!
“The British navy is a joke. Good only in comparison to the Peruvian navy.”
Peruvia has a navy?
I don't think there's enough draft on the Cumberland River to handle the fleet. :-)

I’ll go a bit farther and say that the Brits couldn’t even take on the Bolivian Navy in a ship to ship battle.
