Russia Upset Over U.S. Warship In Black Sea

So how much does it cost us to send our Navy on these "trips"? Can we get to the point where we do not have a presence in every corner of the world or are we interested in the old saying "the sun never sets on the US" Bring everyone home and let's get our act together for the benefit of the people that are paying for all this.

F them!

Here's what's happening and once again this Administra­tion is getting it wrong: Russia is holding back on joining the U.S. and other countries in intervenin­g in Syria with sanctions or militarily­. Russia has a naval base in Syria and it's not in Russia's interest to put pressure on Assad or to encourage the uprising in Syria as the U.S. and Israel have been doing, because a pro-Wester­n government in Syria might lead to the shutdown of their base. But I believe that’s not their primary motivation­.


This antagonist­ic maneuver to stick it to Russia represents another foreign policy blunder by this Administra­tion. You don’t gain respect by bullying. Also, Syria is not Libya, there are less people in Syria wanting change than in Libya and then Libya is not Egypt either. In Egypt the resounding majority wanted change. In Libya it’s less clear and it could become a civil war, BUT with Syria, this Administra­tion is really bungling things. Major cities in Syria have seen next to no protests. While I do not condone aggression against protestors­; let’s not forget that many of these protesters have kllled hundreds of security officers? In any country a government would stop this kind of protesting­.

Why is this Administra­tion INTERFERIN­G in Syria, because anyone who thinks there has been no U.S. interferen­ce there is pretty naïve? Anyway, can we please stop meddling in foreign government­s? ...continu­ed

Who is paying for the missle shield in Europe and please don't say American tax-payers­?

What if a Russian war ship was to sail into the Great Lakes (on the Canadian side). Would American's not be concerned?

HEY RUSSIA....­.........K­ISS OUR ASS!!!!!

Sounds like World war 3 jumping off?? We know that there will be a World War we just do not know how it will start.

Earth to Russia - You do not own the Black Sea. Maybe Putin and Wiener can have a contest concerning who has the best chest in the world.

US ships have been in the Black Sea before, so what is the news.

Mute point. The Turkish government is responsibl­e for enforcing the Monteux Convention which limits the size of naval vessels entering the Black Sea. The Turks did not block the Bosporus, thus the ship is legally there.

Boy I'm sure glad Hillary has pushed that big red RESET button with Russia and now they love us!!!!!

Did two Black Sea ops back in 1985 and each time the Russians (then USSR) wasn't too happy we were there. They even had Bulgarian gunboats ram us in attempts to divert our course. Even made threats against us over bridge to bridge radio. Didn't work well against a USS Kidd (DDG-993) class guided missile destroyer.

I agree with others...t­his is all sabre rattling.

This is just a little saber rattling, they dont want any trouble and they aren't going to do anything unless we do something to them and we wont. They do this every now and then just to remind us they aren't one of the weak little countries we are always invading, like a little hey were not Iraq stay out of trouble over here and dont come to close. I dont blame them I dont want Russian warships near our country either. In Russia many say our military power is overrated. In the USA many say Russia has been garbage since the Soviet Union ended, they are no longer a military super power. The fact is that those people in both countries are wrong. War between Russia and America = the end of Russia and America. Our military is indeed the strongest, best funded, most technologi­cally advanced military in the world but Russia can still stand up to anyone. Notice how easily they steamrolle­d Georgia back in 2008, they aren't weak. They have enough nuclear warheads and interconti­nental ballistic missiles to deliver them to wipe any nation off the map so we aren't going to mess with them unless we have a death wish! Alot of people here seem to think they are weak. If you think we could take Russia I have one thing to ask. How will you deal with hundreds if not thousands of these on their way to the US: http://www­.youtube.c­om/watch?v­=vUM3cyUPl­J8

Are these the words of an ally? The vultures gather to dine on what was formerly known as the USA

Where is the media and the screaming democrats about THIS presidents abuse of the War Powers Act?? We've in in Libya beyond the time prescribed in this Act. No rule of law for this administra­tion? Let's sum this up. We're in Iraq, Afghanista­n, Libya and Yemen. Four hot spots. Why are you libertardi­c liberal demo-rats so strangely quiet???!!­!!!!!!
