Hey, the US Navy runs into huge ships all the time. If a Russian ship is near a USN vessel and doesn’t keep clear, what can they expect except a collision?
If you are driving down the highway and see an oncoming drunk driver weaving all over the road, including on your lane, don’t you take evasive action? Russian ships need to look out, like everyone else, when a USN ship is in the neighborhood.
In this situation power driven vessels meeting head to head, neither vessel is the “Stand on” vessel. Both are “Burdened” to give way so as to avoid a collision.
You can’t say who are cutting whom based on a released video.
Sick.
