...The bigger problem is that "Defender" came out of ODESSA port.
So as I've said many times before, Strelkov warned Kremlin that its failure to bring troops to South -Eastern Ukraine right there, back in 2014 when it would have been an easy walk...
With other words, Kremlin has been warned.
Its failure to defend the local population from the nationalists back THEN is the culprit of it all now.
Russia can't sink it though. Definitely can't attack it from the air. That's the problem with that idea. All you can do is drive by it and make up stories that you shot at it (somehow without capturing on video). This shows you how weak Russia is, that they can't do anything about a ship entering waters they control except make up lies about chasing it away with a bomb drop. It's all about appearing strong to Russians who believe in official lies.

Ummmmm.... What I see here is a ship under full power/flank speed. Look at the wake, it's huge. Look at the bow wave too. It is doing in excess of 30 knots on a calm sea. Not on a leisurely cruise. When you apply full power to a ships screws it creates cavitation which shows up in its wake.
Erasure. There was a Ukrainian defense official on board it is being said. He must have boarded in Odessa. Remember KAL Flight 007 with that congressmen on board? Remember the Polish president and what happened there?

And the BBC reporter.
He sounded really.. how should I put it.. concerned? scared? through the whole episode.
It's all on Russian "60 minutes."
I'll look into it tonight.

DKM, please, lower your meds intake.
Russia is a responsible big power not a bunch of aggressive morons like your "democratic" Ukraine.
Russian forces can sink that ship as easily as I can swat a fly.....but you do not do these things lightly....
OK a ship going full speed means for sure Russia fired warning shots and a bomb was dropped in front of it. Russian alternate facts spun on their propaganda TV, again. It just makes them look like fools, which they are so it makes sense. I am sure inside of Russia this is all being presented as another fake victory.
If the UK was so worried about the paper tiger, they would not have risked entering Russian territorial waters in the 1st place.

Russia doesn't appear very highly on any UK agenda, they're like those small yapping dogs always vying for attention! All Russians ever seem to do is try to act tough, either individually or as a nation, they seem obsessed with war and confrontation, perhaps this is why, despite being a HUGE country, Russia never seems to contribute to the globe in a cultural way? Perhaps its the weather that makes them this way? They NEVER seem to want to hold out a hand in friendship? Every Russian I've ever met has been painfully dificult to talk to, do Russians talk to each other about anything other than guns, tanks and war I wonder?
