A Russian spy ship was spotted patrolling off the East Coast of the United States on Tuesday morning, the first such instance during the Trump administration -- and the same day it was learned the Kremlin had secretly deployed controversial cruise missiles inside Russia and flew within 200 yards of a U.S. Navy destroyer, U.S. officials told Fox News.
The Russian ship was in international waters, 70 miles off the coast of Delaware and heading north at 10 knots, according to one official. The U.S. territory line is 12 nautical miles.

...The Russian ship was in international waters...
Well, why wouldn’t they. The Congress isn’t going to stand by the President and neither is the judiciary so the country is at it’s weakest. Lifting sanctions at this point isn’t about Russia, it’s about Trump getting control over foreign policy from the professional war bureaucracy.
Russian and U.S. spy ships always shadow the other nation’s coasts.
This is such clap-trap...
“The Russian ship was in international waters”
Then it’s not news.
I wouldn’t worry about the ships that we can see.
they are trying to start ww3 with the medias help
How many nuke missile subs does Russia keep on station along the US Coasts?
...Russian fighters flying 200yds away from the porter is provocation.
Russian’s are good at pissing contests, but not much else.
They’re probably listening in on Nancy Pelosi’s calls for stock tips.
I don’t work for the Command that tracks that, but they rotate. Were you hoping for more of them?
That’s right. Tell it. It’s America’s fault. Amen, brother. Join the protesters. It’s the Establishment. Burn baby burn.
Putin is jealous of the President getting all the headlines in Russia now.
LOL you could tell there was going to be a classified launch at Vandenberg when the trawler showed up.
Nah, Maxine Waters was probably guiding the ship in to pick up vital info for Limpopo.
Maybe they’re having secret talks with Joe Biden.
No, reporting the news doesn’t start wars. Don’t blame the free press for not kowtowing to Putin. Appeasing him and enabling him could cause him to miscalculate. Exposing Putin is helpful.
This ship’s presence is routine and has been for over 50 years.
Well, a plot of the number of U-boats out there since 1960 would be interesting to see.
They typically keep their nuke boats in deep waters and at least 500 miles out.
