Moscow — Russia warned the United States on Tuesday against sending warships to the Black Sea, urging American forces to stay away from the annexed Crimean peninsula "for their own good" as the situation along Ukraine's border caused increasing concern in the West. The U.S. Secretary of State, meeting with Ukrainian and NATO officials in Brussels, made it clear that the Biden administration, along with its allies in Europe, has Ukraine's back and considers Russia's ongoing military buildup in the region "very provocative."

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Friday that Washington had informed Ankara that two U.S. warships would pass through Turkish waters this week to be deployed in the Black Sea. The deployment would come amid a significant escalation of the conflict in eastern Ukraine between Russian-backed separatists and Ukraine's forces, which have U.S. and European support.

Hostilities first flared in 2014 when Russia unilaterally annexed Crimea — a peninsula that sticks out into the Black Sea and is home to a Russian navy base — away from Ukraine, drawing condemnation from the Western world and a series of sanctions.

Small but Deadly little gunboats from the Caspian Sea. At least they didn’t send in The Caspian Sea Monster, the flying battleship. When the Peter the Great sails for the Black Sea—you will know there will be trouble.

"We have no business sending ships into the Black Sea. Tha’s no different than Russia sending ship to the Gulf of Mexico."

Not unless we also imagine that the U.S.A. had invaded many other nations and imposed a long, miserable communist dictatorship over them, killing tens of millions of people in them in the process. We do not base our national identity on conquering other nations. Russia has had warships in the Gulf of Mexico on several occasions.

Q. What caused World War 1 and World War 2 to be so widespread and costly in terms of lives including American lives?

A. Americans demurring for too long before engaging and producing.

NATO has a problem.

I wonder if it/they know it yet.

NATO = “Not at the office”

NATO = “Not after two o’clock.”

NATO - “No action, talk only.”

And the U.S. has cancelled the warships as Russia has instructed.

” ... the Ukraine is totally screwed. They can’t stop the Russians, we can’t get forces there to stop the Russians, and there is really no reason for us to try.”

Same situation we faced with regard to Hungary in 1956. Beyond our sphere of immediate influence.

I have a sincere question.
Do the American people want to ignore Russia versus Ukraine or commit troops and ships and risk nuclear war over it? A leading question but I doubt there is a plus for the people.

For the Dems they could say “See? We’re not panty waist pinko cowards, we got right into a new Vietnam within a few months. we are macho.”

But as 60s folk singer wrote, the old men send the young men off to die in war. I can add: and then make business deals like the late McCain and shake hands with the bosses of his Hanoi Hilton tormenters. Creepy.

Do better research. About 2-8% are ‘patriots’ and they are mostly contained to Western part, not counting carpetbaggers in Kiev. The rest would gladly part with the Kiev regime.

“Russia warned the United States”,
And just like that Joe the drooler in chief reneged on sending two navy ships in to the Black Sea.
joe you are a punk ass bitch.
