Sick.
“You can’t say who are cutting whom based on a released video.”
LOL! Obviously you didn’t watch the video. The announcer spells it out for the viewer.
Putin pecker puffers wiil be along shortly.

I can only conclude that there are Russian bots in this thread.
Russia is our natural enemy too...always.
Agree...
After watching the video footage, it appears that the Russian ship is approaching from an angle to the US ship. That would make it the give way vessel. A simple way to recognize that it was a crossing situation is if one can see a red light (port side running light) it means stop. I am often critical of our military way of operating vessels but find no fault in the US vessel's maneuvers with information available.
Captain Wrangler
Just proves once again by their profuse lying and projection that Russia = Communism = US Liberalism = Democrats.
The last thing you wanted to hear on the bridge underway was, “This the Captain and I have the Conn!”,”Hard Right or Hard Left Rudder and All Back Full!” “Brace yourselves!”
The response was loud and clear, Aye/Aye Captain, “Rudder Hard Right or Hard Left and All Back Full!” Sir! Then, a soft whisper “Oh $hit!”
I’ve felt it for a long time now. Anyone here who was in the Military Intel Community may agree. You can feel it. From taking in all information from all sources, comments on social media, and the LACK of follow through information on so much of the current world events. I feel Something big is about to or IS going down. Iran may be ready to reveal it’s bomb/bombs, and Israel preparing for war. China orgasming with Russia, our own Southern border collapsing letting in who KNOWS who. I can’t but feel but sorry for the millions of Americans who are so clueless, uniterested, naive or misled of things really happening in the world to how rude a wakening they are about to get. As for Rachel Maddow and her ilk. I can almost hear the world saying “ I’ll give you something to cry about “.
Our ships with depth charge launchers should load them with garbage ‘tainers.
When Ivan gets too close, POW! then SPLOOSH!
During the Cold War I had a Russian trawler aggressively charge at my coastal tanker off the Oregon Coast. A professional baseball pitcher could have hit it, it was that close. Zero dark thirty.
It's no big sweat, actually. The Russian being the burdened vessel has the obligation to stay clear. It does so.
I am more concerned that we still don't know how to steer our ships under these circumstances.
Always is a long time.
Historically, they were our ally in WWII, they did as much to beat Nazism as we did, see the siege of Stalingrad for one small example.
In the dimly foreseeable future, they and of all people, China, may well be our allies in eliminating the scourge of islam from the face of the earth.
Then we can go back to fighting each other in peace.
Politics and the need to survive is the mother of some very strange bedfellows...
Always is a long time. Always has been.
DD versus CG.....the rookies would have sunk.
Were they our enemy under the Czars? Would they have sold us Alaska if we were enemies?
DD versus CG.....the rookies would have sunk.
Did you mean that for rrrod?
Yes, I thought I included him.
