Question 4: What’s Russia’s connection here?
Or is that so obvious a question (and answer) that it needn’t be discussed?

Search for ‘Atlantic Cruiser’
And you can watch it get closer and closer to port.
Watched the Thor Liberty go through the Panama canal a few months ago on its way to S. Korea. with those Patriot Missiles.

No mention of ships and weapons could be complete without asking about the Dutch-flagged MV Schippersgracht, which sailed from a U.S. Military terminal apparently carrying weapons to Egypt after the State Department waived U.S. Senate conditions on American military aid that could be used by the government against its civilian population. How can the State Dept unilaterally "waive" rules (laws) set by the Senate?
Why didn't the Senate blow its top over the Executive Branch ignoring it?
