he Russian missile ship “Moscow” has set off from Sevastopol city in direction of Georgia.
Russia has expressed concern that NATO is continuing to get a stronger foothold in the Black Sea waters, the deputy chief of Russian General Staff said Monday as reported by RIA Novosti, Russian news agency.
According to the news agency, there are a total of 9 NATO ships in the Black Sea equatorial. The NATO military ships are currently in the Black Sea on a humanitarian mission for Georgia.
Putin really HATES NATO doesn’t he...
Wouldn’t it be nice if Russia got itself suspended from the UN, (or better yet, kicked out altogether) That would get rid of 1/2 the Un idiocy and corruption right there.
The UN is rotten to the core. The US and allies should leave. Russia, China and co-thugs can stay.
Russia has sent “one” a missile ship. There are 9 NATO ships. Sounds to me like Russia is hoping to make some sales. lol.
She certainly is not in any condition to take on an Arleigh Burke Destroyer of the U.S. Navy.
No, that cant really happen. Russia has a UN veto. They can (like the US), reject any proposition out of hand, according to the rules of business.
Rotten though it may be, its a good bully pulpit being on it.
Damn...this ship is going all over the place! Is it the only one the Russians have in the Black Sea Fleet?
It’s the flagship so it gets the press attention. But other elements of the Black Sea Fleet are still operating off the coast of Georgia.
Thank you. So, if she’s “lost”, it’s not a great loss.
