How many carriers does Russia have again?
I no longer care what Putin does. It is as bad or worse here in our own country.
We have already been taken over. Who gives a rats ass about Ukraine?
Carriers?
One.
I no longer care about your ignorant opinion regarding our mass-murdering terrorist Russian enemies. Stick your head back in the sand.
One, built by Ukraine, and they never leave port without a tug boat in case it breaks down.
"In December 1991, she sailed from the Black Sea to join the Northern Fleet. Only from 1993 on did she receive aircraft."

"At the end of 1997 she remained immobilized in a Northern Fleet shipyard, awaiting funding for major repairs, which were halted when they were only 20% complete. The overhaul was completed in July 1998, and the ship returned to active service in the Northern fleet on 3 November 1998. "
"Kuznetsov apparently remained in port for about two years before preparing for another Mediterranean deployment scheduled for the winter of 2000–2001. This deployment was cancelled due to the loss of the nuclear-powered submarine Kursk."
"In late 2003 and early 2004, Kuznetsov went to sea for inspection and trials. During the 2005 exercise, one of her Su-33 fighters was involved in an accident, and fell from the carrier into the Atlantic Ocean."
"On 27 September 2006 it was announced that Admiral Kuznetsov will return to service in the Northern Fleet by the end of the year. The ship will undergo another modernization refit, in an attempt to correct some of her many technical issues."
"On 5 December 2008 the aircraft carrier and several other vessels left Severomorsk heading for the Atlantic on a tour which was announced would be lasting several months and which would include combat training including joint drills with Russia's Black Sea Fleet and visits to several ports in the Mediterranean. On this tour while the Admiral Kuznetsov anchored off Turkey on 7 January 2009 a small fire broke out on the ship. One crew member was killed by carbon monoxide poisoning. The fire was caused by a short-circuit.
On 16 February 2009, Admiral Kuznetsov, along with other Russian naval vessels was involved in a large oil spill while she refuelled off the south coast of Ireland."
"Although financial and technical problems have resulted in limited operations for the ship, it is expected that Admiral Kuznetsov will remain in active duty until at least 2030."
Ditto. Putin, ISIS, China, Iran... it’s all so laughably pointless when your own country is dead and gone, replaced by a lawless, third-world dictatorship. And wallowing in a culture of sheer depravity.
I can walk and chew gum at the same time. Pat Buchanan calls me a neocon for it.
They were going to buy two helicopter carriers from the French but stupid Putin screwed up that deal with his pointless invasion of Ukraine. Maybe he can buy some carriers from his Chinese comrades. snicker.
Take your damn gum and choke on it. This is your usual remark. You suck!
You are stoopid.
Obama is going to be a bad memory but KGB Putin will still be dictator for life.
Once patriotic Christian Conservatives take our country back, what excuse will you have to badmouth the USA then?
Take it easy.
LOL, not after tomorrow night idiot.
I see you are another typical product of the public school system.
If you hate the USA and love Russia so much, then why don’t you leave the USA and go to Russia to kiss Russian ass where you belong? We won’t miss you here at all. We are too busy taking our country back to worry about whining losers like you.
shaddup, you are a dolt.
If America is bound and determined to legalize such depraved insanity as fag-marriage, and the courts force my state to adopt it, I would just as soon see the American republic collapse and die. I won’t lift a finger in its defense.
If you are dedicated to the destruction and collapse of the Republic, then might I suggest that you have accidentally wandered into the wrong place. You have FREEREPUBLIC.COM confused with something else.
This guy has been over the top in his nastiness for a very long time. I cannot believe you would back him up!
Did you tell him to ease up? Probably not. I did not resort to the foul mouth that he did.
