Welcome to FR.
“You can’t handle the truth!”
Dang, one of the few movie lines that I remember well, and you beat me to it. LOL
that was good.
Sounds like the Russians havn't improved in 60 years....
My dad told me he witnessed same in Europe at the end of WWII, they also took the water pipes, stuck them in the ground and expected water to flow.
uh...I don’t think this thread is going to tell the Russians anything they don’t already know.
Keep us posted. Thanks.
No more pretending the Russians are on our side. We knew all along, but now it is an unavoidable fact.

Second U.S. aid ship bound for Georgia passes Turkish straits
The Coast Guard cutter Dallas entered the Dardanelles; as a giant crane unloaded 55 tons of aid from the USS McFaul for refugees in Batumi, 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of another port, Poti, where Russian troops are still present.

I’m new here, I’ve lurked for a long time and finally signed up to ask a question, if you don’t mind.
The Navy also says the USS Mount Whitney is headed to Georgia and it’s listed as a Command Ship. Can someone please explain what a Command Ship is? Doesn’t that sound more military than humanitarian?.

Thanks for the link!
Is there something like a “Newbie FAQ” page? I may have overlooked it. Found the HTML Sandbox and reading it now.
Just jump in with both feet. If you make a mistake, someone will correct you.
I’m with you. I live near a large Air Force base in the North East. Our enemies certainly know about it but you’ll never catch me posting comments about the amount or kind of air traffic I see flying overhead.
