Russia has reportedly announced it will close a crucial strait in the Black Sea to foreign warships, including the Royal Navy, for the next six months.
-snip-
Now sources in Ukraine report that the Russian Federation has announced it will close the Kerch Strait, from next week until October 2021, "for warships and state ships of other countries under the pretext of military exercises".

The Kerch Strait connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, separating the Kerch Peninsula of Crimea in the west from the Taman Peninsula of Russia's Krasnodar Krai in the east.

Are we Americans in real trouble or what? That pudding eating moron living in our White House is giving everything away to our enemies . . .
Obama let Putin take half of Ukraine
Biden letting Putin take the other half
Need to protect that new bridge, perhaps. But it looks like they are allowing commercial shipping.
The a-hole is bound to start a war.
It is looking like for once, Hal Turner is going to be right. Batten down the hatches.
USA, stay out! biden and bammy are no match for Putin.
No Problem, Limeys, just tell Putin you ain’t gonna leave and finish up with the old salutation: Make Me!
Well, Biden did blink, withdrew a US Navy deployment and seems to be getting out of the way of whatever Russia has planned. Maybe we could evaculate Turkey and Greece as well while we are at it?
Just what is Putin up to? C’mon, man! A British warship can be on the Sea of Azov just as a Russian warship can be on Lake Superior.
Oh, wait. Never mind.
Blackmail + Bribery. Biden didn’t blink. He winked.
You are probably right, but what happens if the Strait of Hormuz is closed, or the Strait of Formosa aka Taiwan or the Strait of Malacca were all closed at the same time...
Now that would be interesting...
Not our monkeys not our circus...
We're not. But, we do need a BIG scare event to wake us the heck up.
You know, if the russians want another 40 million islamics and 20 million socialist loafers to rule, what is our problem with that?
Hell, I’ll sign that memo...
Putin’s hero is Stalin. I would bet Putin is planning a move to commemorate May 1st. People are going to die and this all could have been prevented through negotiations.
Russians can have Afghanistan back for all I care.
Something is up—Putin is going to finish the job he left half done—a land bridge to Crimea — no more cutting off water and power like the Kiev Government has done. Now with Bumbler Joe in power he can take what he needs—if not the whole of Ukraine. Expect to see a whole lot of rich Ukrainians coming to the USA like we saw when the Shah was toppled in Iran. Program will be as follows. 1. “Rebels” will start an advance. 2. Ukrainians will counter and kill some folks. 3. Russia will say people are being killed (horrors!) and launch a multi-pronged invasion against “nazi” Kiev. 4. There will be a EMF “Blackout” and Cyber Attack. 5. Airports seized by paratroopers. 6. A big battle or two. 7. Kiev falls and the “Formerly elected President” will be placed in power. 7. Election and rejoining with Russian Federation. 8. Big party in Moscow and St. Petersburg. 9. Biden will ask for more sanctions and a UN resolution condemning the action. Troops will go on alert, ships will sail around. Lots of hand ringing—and blame it all on Trump.
