Ivan's version of the Channel Dash. Pretty impressive task force on paper with the carrier Admiral Kuznetsov and the missile battlecruiser Peter the Great.

Some people in England can see the Russian fleet from their house.

Another Clinton irony, if we are nuked by the Russians, chances are the bomb’s uranium came from the USA.

The British navy is a joke. Good only in comparison to the Peruvian navy.

You can tell that “Dover” was stuck in there to be provocative.

Killary’s Russian “Reset” reset the Russian Power Projection back to 1979!

Russia has always been a warlike power. In this case they are making a provocative act and betting no one will challenge them considering America has a communist in the White House. It was not always like this. Remember that.

It’s tiny compared to an American battle group. The carrier only carries 15 planes and has been beset with powerplant issues. The destroyers are the most impressive part of the group.

What irony!

Many years ago Lenin said “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.” This is just a 21st century version of that.

Russia is not interested in invading us or western Europe (nothing really to be gained and a whole lot to lose). However they ARE interested in regaining superpower status and taking back their old vassal states they feel the west essentially stole from them when the Soviet Union fell. That is what all this provocation is about, make the US and UK fear that Putin is seriously considering a nuclear conflict and World War III. Then when Putin invades Ukraine or the Balkans, the West, instead of countering him, rushes to appease him instead to calm tensions and prevent an all out world war.

Russians can see NATO tanks from across their borders now. What does the West expect the reaction will be?

The aircraft carrier is said to be nuclear powered, but in every picture it’s trailing smoke like a coal liner. Are they grilling steaks?
