"Andrei... you've lost another submarine?"

“The Russian Navy continues stage-by-stage rotation of warships and support ships of the standing naval force in the Mediterranean,” the spokesman said. “Having passed through the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits, the big landing ships will reach the designated area in the Mediterranean Sea on September 5 or 6 to start their mission under the command of the remote zone headquartered onboard the big anti-submarine ship of the Russian Pacific Fleet Admiral Panteleyev.” Currently, one of the key tasks of the Russian standing naval force in the Mediterranean is “comprehensive monitoring over the air, underwater and surface situation in the zone of its deployment,” the Russian defence ministry said, adding that the rotation of Russian warships in the Mediterranean Sea would continue till mid-September. Summarizing the balance of power so far:
•2 US amphibious assault ships are about to be matched by 2 Russian amphibious assault ships. That's a lot of marines. •The US still outnumbers Russia with 5 destroyers including 4 from the strike group surrounding the USS Nimitz carrier which is also slowly approaching Syria. Our prediction: the next ship to be dispatched in direction Syria will be the missile cruiser Moskva, the "flag ship of the Black Sea fleet" and more of its affiliated warships, which was last deployed in November of 2012 during the 8 day escalation between Israel and Gaza which culminated in Operation Pillar of Defense. That, and a whole lot of submarines.

"Andrei... you've lost another submarine?"
Obama started this shit-storm. Meanwhile the protesters are waiting to protest the Repubs.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if this incompetent fool for whom liberals voted manages to get us into WW3? I wonder what they would do then?
Let’s hope the “reset” button is the only one that gets pushed by this president’s orders.
He’s the anti-Midas. Has anyone else noticed that from the Chicago Olympics bid, to Health Care, to Benghazi, to Egypt, to school lunches and the economy, everything he touches turns to s***?
They would still blame Bush.
Putin is right, Obozo is like a monkey playing with a hand grenade
Geez, first Putin comes out as anti-gay, now he's come out as a full-blown racist.

I'm sorry to say that I do agree with you. Liberals are the masters of denial.

My boss is blaming it all on the Republicans. He actually believes, fervently, that Obama would have solved everything by now if the Republicans hadn’t stood in the way.
My advice: Stop worrying and just learn to love the bomb, because the DC
elites are about to start WW3.

If Hussein Obama starts WW3, I don’t believe there will be a WW4.
We all lose.
