Russia on Friday launched sweeping military manoeuvres in the Mediterranean Sea just hours after warning the UK it will defend its borders using 'all possible means' following an incident with British destroyer HMS Defender in the Black Sea.

The military drills, featuring warplanes capable of carrying hypersonic missiles and several warships, come as a British carrier strike group is in the area.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkob on Friday warned Britain and the US that Russia will defend its borders using 'all possible means' including military force and accused the two countries of trying to incite conflict in the Black Sea.

...

.... Russian news agency RIA quoted Ryabkov as saying Washington and London were sowing strife in the region by failing to accept Crimea as a part of Russia.

'Washington and London are denying reality... they are trying to provoke conflict,' he said. 'These are Russian territorial waters, this is our border. I can confirm that we will defend it with all possible means, including military.'

‘all possible means’

Oh, yeah??

Well, Biden says he's willing to use nukes!!!!!

At least, he's willing to us nukes on us. Probably not Russia.

I saw the incident just today and thought it was from a while ago-wasnt paying attention. Anyway, they took pot shots towards the destroyer as far as I read.

So now, here we go. President Pig face Bidet is a worthless piece of skin, the Russians will move into the Ukraine and dare Pig Face to do something about it.

I wouldnt doubt that we see the Rooskies put a number of war ships off our east coast just to poke Pig Face in the eye.

Hey, Boris, I wouldn’t call Donald J Trump for sympathy after saying how cozy you felt with the whisperer Uncle Joe.

“Didn’t they come close to losing the war with the Falkland Islands?”

Boris needs realize that this is not 1941.

If he and his out of date and rusty Navy provoke the Russian Bear, they might be on their own.

I think Biden’s weakness and his killer insult to Putin are emboldening Russia.

Apparently Russia has a fleet close to Hawaii.

Russian Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea operations depend on a working relationship with Turkey, giving Turkey veto power over any US, European or NATO operations negatively impacting current Turkish Political Policy.

Agreement between Russia and Turkey will determine how much Russian seapower is brought to bear in the Med and the Turks don't like the Brits or the Empire much.

I learned during Baltic ops that Russians go apeshit over borders. After WWII, you’d expect it.

The notion of the U.K. even considering ‘invading’ Russia is absolutely laughable. Somebody in Russia needs to put down the crack pipe.

Russia will move into Ukraine and China will move into parts of Taiwan’s territory and the spartlry Islands. Then China and the New Soviet Union move into Taiwan, South Korea (with help from FatBoy in Pyongyang), The Baltic states, Poland, and Hungary while western Europe sits on their hands.
