Russian battleships?!? What, did they raise the hulk of the Stalingrad and finish it?
Russia has no battleships. It does have 3 modified Kirov class cruisers, which are arguably nuclear battlecruisers. I say so in defference to their tonnage (20,000 tons) and missile armament of 20 Granat antiship (carrier killer) missiles, and 96 SA-N-6/S300 antiaircraft missiles. However, they only have one 130mm (5.2 inch) cannon. They also have 3 Slava class cruisers with 16 anti-ship missiles and 64 SA-N-6/S300 antiaircraft missiles. However, these are the size of our Ticonderoga Cruisers and of World War 2 cruisers.
I truly wish that the Israelis had a surplus Chinese torpedo in their inventory. The resultant hilarity of Russia having its own Cheonan sinking, with the evidence pointing to China, would be worth the price of admission.
Battleships? Bullshit. The writer is batshit crazy. Warships? Maybe.
The Russkies will do what they want.Putin knows Gay Blade Obama is as dangerous as a wet towel in a Penn State shower room.
Obama started all this crap in the Mid-East with his Arab Summer, it sems that Putin intends to finish it.
meanwhile we are destroying out military, shutting down nukes, putting women and queers on the front line.
Putin isn’t stupid, he knows what he is doing.
Obama is a push-over.
They would never dare to try this until now.
This won’t end pretty.
I looked at the daily intelligence summary that Putin looked at yesterday, and here’s what it said:
“Obama is the biggest pussy in the history of the United States, and Romney looks like he’s going to be the second biggest pussy. Go ahead and do what you couldn’t in the 80’s - take out the Saudi’s, the Jews, and then Europe.
The Chinese will take Taiwan, and when we’ve cleaned all that up, we’ll go after the US. Or we may get impatient and just nuke them now - like that gigantic pussy is going to launch a counter strike.”
The Bible says it does not end well for the forces there.
