Not to defend our coast, that’s for sure.

Anyone else wondering why US Coast Guard vessels are being deployed in the hot spots of the Black Sea and the Persian Gulf? Would think that Navy frigates are better trained and suited for the assignments.

**************

Put the bait out there to provoke a response.

The absurdity of WWIII starting over something like this boggles the mind. We are a nation run by reckless fools.

I'm kind of wondering what our Coast Guard is doing 4600 miles or so away from our nearest coast? Not to offend any Coasties but, seems like a job for the Navy.

What is that demented old fool and criminal doing?

The US Coast Guard think they can take on the mighty Russian Navy in their own backyard?
Chuckle.
Another crazy, pathetic futile gesture from the demented old fool in DC.

This would be something like Russia sending a warship to patrol the Gulf of Mexico. Legal, but both unnecessary and provocative.

The Coast Guard is supposed to support OUR shores.

What is going on here? This is CRAZY!

I was kinda wondering that myself.
Was the name of the cutter “Maine” or “Panay?”
I think the warmongers of the Biden administration are still trying to get a bunch of American service members killed in an effort to start a war.

Inappropriate use and endangerment of men and ships.

They should be guarding and protecting our harbors, ports and yes, Coasts against illegal and drug suppliers.

A US Coast Guard cutter? Say what?

Get that eff'n ship back into US territorial waters to stop illegal fishing by foreign nations, doing drug interdiction missions and saving American vessels in distress.

The point is to appear less threatening to the Russkies.

Biden canceled transit into the Black Sea by two destroyers and switched to one cutter tasked with saving people in order to save face.

To bolster the US Navy which needs more ships afloat but this President will not do anything about.

I understand why the USCG has overseas responsibilities during wartime, but how is it justified now?

We have no vital national interest at stake over there.
