oh gee, russian supporting an ally, and showing off a new piece of military hardware, how absolutely frightening is this the best you got? considering the fact that the US navy has better ships in that class than the russians can build at this point, and we have MORE of them, what good is one ship?


JFK once indicated during the cuban missile crisis that any attack launched from cuba against any US allies in the region, shall be considered an attack on the US by the soviet union. to my knowledge no president has changed that edict.


in the end it is ONE ship, not a fleet of them. we send out warships to other countries all the time, even in the chinese and russian sphere of influence. so are you saying the russians cant do the same? is the US navy the only navy that can sail the high seas?


and why do liberals panic every time a foreign power does something like this? oh china has an aircraft carrier now the liberal says

Yes. The same way we ignored Russian Submarines in the Gulf of Mexico.
But of course Obama was President then, so nothing was said. Now that Trump is President the Russian warship must mean "Trump stole the election".

Trump is in way over his head!
I don't disagree that he is. This has been a long time coming though. Recall, Hillary threatened to shoot their planes down.

The type of ship, the intent and what else is coming behind it, is what matters. Keep trusting the Russians as your buddy...

The Russians backed Trump because:
1 They correctly estimated that he would cause the most diplomatic distance between the US and Europe.
2 They correctly estimated that electing Trump could cause more internal divisions than Hillary.
And by all estimations, Trump is outplaying them all.

You think the Ruskis don't have assets off our coastline all the time and one more surface ship is going to be a problem?

And the big deal is??? It's a port call from one warship. Our navy does the same all over the world.

Would it make you happier if Trump had is sunk in Havana harbor?

Strange what a bunch of warmongers the Dems have become in the last 10 years. Seems like they are upset that Trump hasn't started the wars that his predecessors have.
