The Russians remember what happened to the USS Cole.

1914 The murder of Franz Joseph and his wife. 2015 The shooting down of a Russian jet. Similarities everywhere in the two incidents.

The Ruskies don't want a USS Cole!

For the record...

"RT [Russia Today] has been called a propaganda outlet for the Russian government[10][11][12] and its foreign policy[10][11][13][14] by former Russian officials[15] and by news reporters,[16] including former RT reporters.[17][18][19]

It has also been accused of spreading disinformation.[20][21][22]

The United Kingdom media regulator Ofcom has threatened RT with sanctions because of repeated violations of its rules on impartiality.[23]

The network states that it offers a 'Russian perspective' on global events.[24]"

Vladimir Putin's media Svengali who was found dead in DC hotel was 'murdered for being an FBI informant'

• Millionaire Mikhail Lesin, 57, was found dead in $240-a-night in Washington DC last Friday [Nov 6, 2015] and police are investigating

• The pro-Putin 'propaganda channel' he set up, RT [Russia Today], claimed he 'had been suffering from a prolonged unidentified illness'

• But DC police have made no such finding

  "Nicknamed the 'Bulldozer', Lesin was one of the key props of the Putin presidency, personally masterminding a wide-ranging media crackdown which has left the vast majority of Russian TV stations and newspapers obedient to the Kremlin."

Russia - take back Constantinople.

Russia—sore loser over being defeated by low oil prices—is acting like a raccoon in a china closet.

Not a great time to be playing chicken with the Russians.

I'd suspect more than a few of them are itching for an excuse to light some Turks up.
