US Ships Approaching Sevastopol? Mapping US Naval Assets
Here's what is known with certainty:
Yesterday, US Aircraft Carrier CVN-77 George H.W. Bush crossed the Strait of Gibraltar.
This was largely expected, and the path of aircraft carrier into the Mediterranean was known well in advance. As of late last week, this is what was known about the distribution of US naval forces around the world (Source: Stratfor).
Here's what is not known with certainty:
It is not known if CVN-77 will continue to its scheduled final waypoint, the Arabian Gulf, or make a detour into the Black Sea.
It is also not known if as some suggested earlier on Twitter, and completely without confirmation, that a state of high alert was declared on the carrier.
#BreakingNews #US Navy USS George Bush nuclear aircraft carrier declares high alert in the #Mediterranean. #Syria #Ukraine #Russia
— Rami (@RamiAlLolah) March 1, 2014
Once again, this rumor has seen zero confirmation anywhere else so we assume it is false.
It is not known is if the report by Sevastopol News that the two US warships have already crossed the bosphorus and would arrive at the Crimean port shortly is real or fake. From the website:
The U.S. Navy will arrive in Sevastopol in four hours? As we have just learned from unofficial sources in the Naval Forces of Ukraine, headed for the shores of Sevastopol at full speed, are two ships of the United States Navy.
According to preliminary information, two destroyers carrier battle groups have already passed the Bosphorus.
Recall that part of the Black Sea Fleet warships are now off the coast of Sochi. Yesterday, a large landing ship "Kaliningrad" from the Baltic Fleet entered the Black Sea. And as we have previously reported, to Sevastopol is returning the Ukrainian frigate "Hetman Sahaidachny."
There has been no official comment.
Of the above, the most important unknown is whether indeed the US is entering the black sea in what would be a direct confrontation with the Russian fleet. Considering the earlier report of the defection of the Ukranian navy head, this would not be surprising as the US would certainly need naval presence in the waters close to the Crimean, especially following the report that the Crimean PM just announced the creation of a regional - i..e, non-Ukraine - navy.
Those who wish to do so can keep track of the status of CVN-77 George H.W. Bush on its facebook page located here.
Alternatively, a good place to keep track of who crosses in and out of the Black Sea is the Bosphorus Naval News.

Going thru Gibraltar,doesnt promise going thru Bosforus.
I agree. Also if the firing begins, the Black Sea is more of a bathtub than the Persian Gulf and our ships would be sitting ducks. Odds are they will position themselves opposite the Russian fleet in the Eastern Med.
The Ukraine is not our fight. We should just stay the hell out.
There are only TWO US carriers available for duty?
There are 4 Pacific Carriers available too.
Didn't we go through this very exact exercise a few months ago for Syria?
Im new here so i dont know what you are referring to.
But i think most of the US Navy is now in the Pacific due to the shift of focus to Asia/Pacific)
You mooks are forgetting something. .. Turkey is just some 200 miles south of Crimea.
And some 1000 miles south of Moscow.
Hellooooo!! Can you hear me now!!??
Or maybe Finland would like to settle an old score from before WWII??
Got Mosin??
Nott even Bozo is stupid enough to order US carriers to Sevastapol. Well, let's hope not anyway.
It's still up to Turkey to allow the carrier battle group through the bosporous. Technically aircraft carriers and ships armed with 205mm or larger cannon are forbidden through the straights...which is why the Soviet Union titles it's single carrier "Heavy Aircraft-Carrying Cruiser"...
What ever happened to those Iranian Naval ships steaming towards America?
One of them broke an oar. So they're just going in circles in the middle of the south Atlantic.
Actually Turkey cannot let the CVN-77 cross.
The legal issue is that they would have to cut CVN-77 into four pieces with a big-ass blowtorch and float them through individually and unescorted, to avoid violating a very explicit treaty between a NATO member (Turkey) and Russia. (There is an implicit assumption in here that no NATO nation is going to formally DECLARE WAR on Russia just to float a boat through a body of water)
There is well over a century of back story going through 2 World Wars to the Crimean War and Russo-Turkish Wars, and which has even impacted the design of Russian surface ships in the Black Sea Fleet.
NO US CARRIER IS GOING TO CROSS TO INTO THE BLACK SEA.
The US might as well go MAD, because it would offer Russia the opportunity to sink a large chunk of the US Navy both conventionally and legally before resorting to MAD, and there is no upside for the US to doing so, when they can easily fly planes out of Poland or Germany.
If Turkey were to let American ships past the Dardanelles, the Russians would have many hours to decide whether they want to turn the Bosporus Straits into the Isthmus of Bosporus in matter of mere minutes by blowing the two suspension bridges across the Bosporus (or more accurately the cable anchoring on either side), which would seriously destabilize Turkey and embolden its own separatist movement and give NATO a 2-front headache... Or they could attack the carrier group enroute, where the issue isn't the "bathub" shape- so much as the two narrow "drain pipes" where US ships are absolutely unmaneuverable. And if the Russians were to sink the lead and tail ships of convoy, the rest of the fleet goes nowhere.
If Obozo really is that certifiably insane, then US military would do better, and better serve the American people by launching a coup in the United States.
This is true. According to Montreux Convention Regarding the Regime of the Straits, Turkey has control over the Bosporus Straits and the Dardanelles and regulates the transit of naval warships.
Under the convention, non-Black Sea state warships, such as US naval vessels, must be under 15,000 tons to transit into or out of the Black Sea. No more than nine non-Black Sea state warships, with a total aggregate tonnage of no more than 30,000 tons, may pass through the straits or be in the Black Sea at any one time, In addition, non-Balck sea warships are permitted to stay in the Black Sea for no longer than 21 days.
Your analysis is spot on. The main reason the US will not directly aid the Ukraine against Russia, even if it desired to do so, is that their is no viable logistical pipe line to support such an endeavor without the cooperation of a lot of other countries that probably do not want to get sucked into a war.
Anyone thing the USN may try to get a sub into the Black Sea?
That would be a neat (and dangerous) trick - only 60' of water depth in DOWNTOWN Istanbul to hide a submarine about 60' tall without scraping (ala USS Taylor), and without being hit by a ship above, and without anyone seeing the big fish in the river (or its wake)... where probably several waterfront real-estate leases are being financed by Moscow and outfitted with some rather sensitive measuring, recording and transmitting equipment. (If they straddled sea lanes the options are slightly better, but only on paper and before factoring in twice as many ships overhead.)
http://www.oceangrafix.com/chart/zoom?chart=55048
Yup. Way too shallow in a couple of places for a submerged sub to go through unseen, or even at all.
The US might as well go MAD, because it would offer Russia the opportunity to sink a large chunk of the US Navy both conventionally and legally before resorting to MAD, and there is no upside for the US to doing so, when they can easily fly planes out of Poland or Germany.
And that is why Obama and three State Department Stooges will try to do just that most likely after making threats like a dictator who thinks he can get his way anytime he wants by being a bully.
He is not insane, his incompetence is on purpose with malevolent intent.
Ukraine would represent a quick way to slash US forces and he wouldn't even have to get Congressional approval. Imagine all the kudos Obama would get from his liberal buddies if actually lost a war to Russia.
I dunno. Obozo is pretty stupid. Lord help us if Putin double-dares him.
keep track of an aircraft carrier on facebook?
you must be joking
must be
WWIII will likely have it's own facebook page too. Just that one needs to be quick on the like button before it vaporizes.
Unreal.
"Im new here"... Welcome to planet Earth :)
bwahhahahahaha, welcome to fight club.
I love your courage, took me about a year of reading before I could comment.
I should have been more clear. Only two US carriers are deployed, ie, not in port.
Either way the seamen (uh huh) are busy 7 of 8 hours each day while "on" duty defending the Homeland (that's what "they" call it, not me.... kinda Germanic creepy) engaged in diversity, love, inclusiveness and gender neutral LBLGT, racial, ethnic and religious tolerance (excluding Christians who are to be vilified and keelhauled) meeting on the fantail led by representatives of the Department of Everybody's Welfare, Social Justice and That Kinda Shit.
Then again, I could imagine some dim-ficking-wit demanding a show of force in the Bosporus where running aground might be a real issue, just because they could then send a picture of the Bosschildking in a pair of starched and pressed Hannah Montana work pants complimented by a Hello Kitty turtleneck cotton sleeveless tee-shirt while squatting upon the Resolute desk in the Offal Orifice.
Why are you talking about reality? It's depressing.
@ knukles
I need to learn how to use my imagination better.
+ a gazillion, LOL....
Bless you, +1000
Got a question. On the deck is it pallets of dollars,cocaine,heroin, or all of the above?
Pallets of worthless paper, bonds, stocks, mbs, derivatives and the like, answer the question for ya?
haha... probably shredding evidence.
Only one helicopter???
Maybe the rest have already started dropping their "precious" cargo.
I say all of the above.

Like the gobermint would tell everyone where shit is.....come on people
It's all about transparecny, for our strategic interests being exposed, is in a sense is ironic, as it Seems like Obozo is the most non-tranparent President in US history?! It has been going on for a long time though, however, one can bet we have assets nobody knows about in the general area already! Now, to get the airpower in place, and we have the New Crimean Wars...how wonderful!!
When you're not afraid of anyone you broadcast it. otherwise known as intimidation.
Holy crap - do you think that there are 4 sunburns as well?
There are 4 Pacific Carriers available too.
Who's going to watch Japan?
the pentagon calls them, 'lily pads'? basically they're useless when up against a russisn 'black hole' anti- anything that floats or flys submarine,...
The Obama progressives are decimating our defense.
We certainly don't need or want any more neo-con wars, we also want to continue to enjoy our domestic security. That is, a strong military that is wisely and sparingly used, and that for defense from actual attack. Pretty much how Ron Paul has expressed it.
The progressives aren't about maintaining our security. In this particular Ukrainian situation, it does mean we won't go to war, so at least that's a positive.
If getting re-elected means spending billions on another war and killing lots of sheeple, well, you know, you gotta break some eggs if you wanna make an omlette.
Except the sheeple are onto this tactic and are pushing back. i.e. Syria...
>> are decimating our defense.
The MIC is decimating our country. What's left to defend?
"The Ukraine is not our fight. We should just stay the hell out." Thats the type of shit that Americans believed before WWII, then look at what happened. Clean it up now or clean it up later when shit really stinks.
Yet another American conditioned to view everyone as a potential fuehrer due to our public indoctrination system and media while refusing to acknowledge that American involvement in WWI led to Nazism in Germany, Bolshevism in the Russian Empire and eventually WWII.
I call BS on Dull...we did not stay after WWI, we told Germany to pay reparations (ahem - for a war they started; which bankrupted them, and caused massive inflation, poverty, etc. This lead to National Socialism (NAZI's), the US was not a cause, unless you feel the reparations were "unfair"?
As to Russia, that BS revolution happened in 1917 during WWI and would have happened anyway, communist forces were in motion long before WWI...so get an education before you expose your ignorance again!
Instead of "staying" the US created the BIS to stay for it. Perhaps "staying" would have done the world a favor and prevented a second (and third) World War(s). Since the US didn't stay, I would really prefer they now just stay out, there are no do-overs (except in Obozo and Billary's reset-button-oriented minds).
The reparations were excessive and Wilson was part of that process. He made a number of speeches extolling the treaty and its terms.
Your bulb is seriously dim abi, as is your knowledge of history.
Research who funded the bolsheviks, esp. trotsky....as for germany and ww1, the newly minted fed ownders needed a war to bankrupt the US and then the world. They got halfway there. 1933, most nations in the world declared bankruptcy.
ww2 was the clean up act. League of nations to united nations, all the global control apparatus etc. on and on.
wake up.

"Clean it up now or clean it up later when shit really stinks."
Clean what up? The loose cannon USA/EU supported Neo-Nazis that are out of control and running amok in Kiev?
Obviously the "shit" wallstreet.... is referring to is, um, wait, um...never mind.
Dumbfuck let it stink forever. They are not going to attack us.
Government troll? I used to think that was being paranoid until it was proven by Snowden and Greenwald.
Just like the Japanese would never attack us?
I'm not saying we should start shooting but a good show of force and backbone can be quite a tonic for aggressive behavior. There is no reason for Russia to have troops on the ground. There have been no significant Nazi like events in Ukraine that I have seen posted on ZH or elsewhere. Let the Ukrainians work it out. Anyone not willing to do that is the bully.
Of course, it would be nice if the Eurotrash would take responsibility for their continent and demand everyone settle down but everyone knows they wouldn't stand a chance against Russia.
Who’s got the tonic for the "aggressive behaviour" of the US? Or are engineered, financed coups not aggression?
Who said the GWB is headed to Ukraine? There is another stop along the way through the Med...it's called Syria. Fake with the left, haymaker with the right. Can Russia project force on two fronts? It's about to get very interesting.....and by interesting I mean F THE PETRO-DOLLAR WAR MONGERING CARTELS.
Go infect some other blog fucking govt troll.
I remember when I was a virgin on ZH.

its just not the fight of the US... the east ukraine is russian territory.
and the west is polish. poland mighty grow some balls and take the other half. russia will not go to war with europe over the west ukraine, like europe isnt going to war against russia over the eastern ukraine.
no european war ever won anthing behind kiev...its ust not possible.
the sweds lost in poltava, the nazis in stalingrad and the french lost to bad weather(but not to a mild winter like obama)
Correct: Ukraine is not our fight. Nor is "the Ukraine". ;-)
We do say "the USA", "the UK" (acronyms), but we don't say: the Canada, the France, the Germany, the Italy, the Russia, the Japan, the China, the... you get the picture. :-)
I have seen it referred to as "The Ukraine". But, that is not how the game of "Risk" calls it, so the answer is still up in the air for me.
Peru in English is just "Peru". But, in Spanish, it is "El Peru" ("Le Perou" in French).
Maybe I'll go look up "Ukraine" at wiki, the cheap & dirty source.
EDIT:
"Bearing to Kirk, Bearing to Kirk:
You're right boss, wikipedia sez so."
Gosh, now I'm in homeschool.
More bluster from the WH!!! Bammer didn't get all dressed up for that photo op for nothing yesterday!!! We need to rattle some sabers too!! Send some ships scurrying around, that will do!!
We're currently booged down 100,000 men and 500,000 have served and 5 trillion in debt in that shithole sandbox in the ME and accomplished nothing!!!!!!
While Putin is already on the ground in Ukraine and being cheered by the Ukrainians military and population!!!
Any bets on how fast those ships sail by????
My bet is the ships will either loiter or sail on by, and sail on by again...could be nothing, or could be a false flag getting ready to happen, history has a way of telling us things...
"We're currently booged down 100,000 men and 500,000 have served and 5 trillion in debt in that shithole sandbox in the ME and accomplished nothing!!!!!!"
Wrong!!! The MIC/Halliburton has made a fortune.
Well you know, just in case the US needs to nuke someone. As long as they do it after market hours who cares, just don't mess with the Stalingrad and Poorsky.
I'm guessing that Putin asked Obummer to borrow some of our equipment for his invasion and he obliged by sending the ship.
Dont forget that Russia has all those chemical weapons from Syria.... What a gig.. they sell them to Syria, then Syria uses them on its people, the world gets pissed, Russia get the chemical weaopns back for free, now they get to use them on the Ukranian people. All I have to say is "fuck you BHO and your pussy ass redlines".
Or the US allies rebel forces in Syria used the chem weapons as a false flag attack to blame Syrian government.
"then Syria uses them on its people"
Huh? I though it was proven that it was the US/Saudi/Qatar supported Al Qeida that used the gas as a false flag to get the US/UK to attack Assad. What happened to that explaination? The weapons didn't have the range so the only ones to fire them were the Al Qeida,
He must think UN weapons inspectors are engaged in a conspiracy against the United States and there are huge stockpiles of WMD and mobile weapons still waiting to discovered by US troops in Iraq.
I thought it was US chemical agents served up by US/SA/Israeli backed insurgents?

Your trolling is of substandard quality. You need to make your imaginary world at least plausible, not just something out of a comic book. As it stands, your propaganda isn't worth much.
Where the hell do you get your information from?
Syria supposidly received chemical weapons from Iraq / Hussien
Russia stopped the US from bombing for peace, and the chemical weapons not in control of the rebels were sent to the mediteranian area for disposal....Cyprus I believe.
Just sayin'...how much of Assad's stockpile has he haned over to-date? 4% is a figure I read somewhere...anyone have an idea? If so, then the plan is a failure IMHO...and all parties should be held accountable?
Russia doesn't get to invade Ukraine, as much as we get to invade Mexico, it is that simple. BHO and Co have given Pukin' a pass, pure and simple! He will end up with all of it, with some blood on his hands...all of them really.
Pond scum! Aboslute Power left unchecked is tyranny...Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Invade Mexico? Why the fuck would we do that anyways? Talk about swelling the FSA ranks.

What government agency do you work for? The fucking .gov trolls are out in full force this weekend. You dumb fucks cannot fool us fools here on ZH!

Absolutely correct. Also, from TFA:
No such place as the Arabian Gulf, except in the imagination of the deranged Saudi ruling class and their neocon collaborators. There is a Persian Gulf and an Arabian Sea.
A boat has it's own Fakebook page?!
They all have to share one twitter account: https://twitter.com/aircraftcarrier
Maybe they use George H. W. Bush's FB page. BTW, when did the US start naming ships after stupid shit neo-con fuckheads that are still breathing? WTF?
You mean like the forestall, The Ronald Reagan, and the Nimitz? Since forever.
Blackwater agents begin arriving to Ukraine:: bloggers report
Quote: Shadow paws over Ukraine.March 2nd, 19:35
According to our Ukrainian friends, this night in the cities of Borispol and Juliani airports charter flights began arriving carrying strong young men in ordinary civilian clothes - but each with several bulky field bags . In the U.S. Army which usually carry sets of equipment.
Strange way all these people are employed by private military company "Greystone Limited" - daughter of the famous "Xe Services LLC" - former "Blackwater USA". Just arrived already up to 300 people.
Objectives of these strong - and well-trained guys - can be very different from the protection of the new government from hundreds of self-defense units on "Euromaidan" to covert ops in cities in the East and South-East of Ukraine. The only question is how many of them eventually show up in Kiev - and who pays for this spectacular ballet is which is not cheap
Certainly not the upstart "Ukrainian" government, I guess.
Google Translate
? ???????? ? ? ????? - ???? ???? ??? ????????.
Who would foot the bill? Other than George Soros? Well, there's always the hundreds of millions in cash from Afghan opium sales. Plenty of money sloshing around and, if not, then just print it.
Not surprised that such rumors are now floating around. Sometimes rumors are true.
300 Spartans? Is this Sparta? LOL!
I hope the Russians Spec Ops find these contractors.
If so, I hope someone takes pictures or videos...
The USS George Bush? Really? Why not just call it the USS Idiot.
Does it know which side to fight for?
Sink me once, shame on me, wait...
.
It fights for the GSA (Goldman Sachs of America).
It fights for Halliburton...you know, the major league assholes.
Hmmm yes I can see it now just like NASCAR huge huge adverts on the sides. Think of the publicity! - Haliburton Goldman JP Morgan Greysone(OLD BlackWater) all the supporters of Free-doom in the US bringing Democracy around the world. Would a big picture of Blankfein with the words "Doing gods Work" be too much? I think not if Kerry can get away with accusing the Russians of invasion. Like many others I was %^$&*#@ stunned. How does this man not suffocate on the bullshit coming out of his mouth?!?!
Holy shit if that carrier sinks in the Black Sea Obummer gets a AAA excuse to gather the regular crew and ATTACK! I hope whoever is in charge is taking precautions against..

instead of bullets and missiles, it fires shoes at the enemies.
You think at his next speech Obama will pound his shoe on the podium like Kruschev did?
>> USS Idiot.
I think the USS Blithering Idiot has a more dignified ring to it, more in tune to the honor generally bestowed on past Presidents.
I can't stand any politician and thought like you until the idiot raised 500,000,000.00 for his library. Isn't as stupid as he sounds
Groundhog, there is a difference between smart and connected, eh?
Probably just a covert tax shelter for his rich prick friends and family. Not nearly smart simply "connected"!
It's the George H.W. Bush, not George W. Bush.
One might argue the point but G.W. is definitely the idiot of the two.
DavidC
Creepy "thousand points of light" NWO CIA GHW Bush.
Well, old man Bush is a key player in the NWO -- and on the Council of 13.
He was also the CIA Director, who denied Pres. Carter info on America's secret files on Aliens. "Sorry, Mr. President, it's on a Need-To-Know basis, and this does not extend to curiosity". Carter should've fired his ass on the spot.
The last Democratic President prior to Obama, to have info on the Alien files was JFK, who intended to share the info with the Russians as recently as Nov.11, 1963 (11 days prior to Nov.22), to come up with a Common Front against the Aliens. IOW, Clinton did not get info. Or so he claims. Eventually Carter was briefed, in the summer of 1977. He is said to have had his hands on his face, and actually sobbed. The latter part if very telling what it means to his fundamental Beliefs (as a Christian). For fake-Christians like Clinton and Obama, this is not an issue.
Actually, this is what Kirk has been saying and warning you for ages: You are NOT alone. And it's a fact throughout the Galaxy, that starship captains and crew do occasionally indulge in mating with "the natives". Case in point: Human history, mythology and religion is full of claims of women having had sex with Aliens (gods) and created offspring who claim Celestial heritage -- including Christianity. In many cases, genetic hybrid programs are in place, to allow for colonization of planets that are otherwise too hostile in biological compatibility.
Moral: Aliens not only play 'God', in some cases they are 'God'. And for those people & cultures/tribes who love being the Middlemen for a god/God, it's the ultimate in lifestyle and job security when you're ... "Doing God's work". Red pill or blue pill?
Are you saying Alienz have penii?
I think they fuck through telepathy.
Oh and its even depper then that..........For those that understand what this place really is and why 'we' choose to come here the game is not so bad. This place is just temporary, and there NEVER will be "Peace" here, that would defeat the purpose of this rock. So sit back and enjoy the show because in the end that is all we can really do is navigate the geame here and try not to get caught in the collateral damage before we either move on or repeat depending upon how much you figure out and how well you perform here............
The Christians would be glad to tell you that you're wrong, but they're only 2000 years old in story that never ends. Let me share one of Rock's greatest songs, Iron Maiden's Infinite Dreams.
"There's got to be just more to it than this
Or tell me why do we exist?
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance, another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again and again"
Skate: Google-- James Joyce, the constellation Cassiopeai, and incalculable eons for more on this concept. Or, "Eternal Recurrence of the Same".....
The Bushes, Clintons and Obama all work for the NWO and El Chai (see eye A) Duh.
Where and the hell do you find this info? I am curious as I think most is bullshit. We can prove the system we have is a scam but Aliens????? I don't know about that one bro.
The whole Ancient Alien thing is propaganda so they can dust off Kissingers playbook, '' Ven ze alien ships are circling ve vill see how fast they welcome UN troops '' I paraphrase. If its on television its approved by the Cuntrollers.

Yes.
One carrier. Named after a moron.
Within range of every enemy air asset.
Yes.
Clearly you need to give up axis and allies and go back to stratego.

Pretty dumb even for Obozo , so its prolly true.
And what is the point of going to Ukraine?
Crimea is a nice vacation spot.
You don't suppose they defect to the Russians too do you?
at least the name fits. Also, right next to Murderstan and Fraudavia for quick one day excursions while on holiday.

Wow. That second link was a little weird. Tho, she would blend into LA pretty easily.
Totally, and she wouldn't even be out of place. I've seen some latinas with six times the makeup.
Nothing is happening. If the Putin regime had any fear of the Obama Regime or NATO in this situation it would not have made these moves. Events played out the same in the Republic of Georgia - Putin essentially ended that by sending in troops and seizing a percentage of the Georgian territory under the pretext of allegiance to one or another of the local provinces.
USS Black Swan approaches the Black Sea. USS Black Swan gets sunk by unknown submarine. MIC stocks open at all time highs.
Seems some claim that was the plan for the retiring USS Enterprise?
First in the Persian Gulf?
Now in the Black Sea?

From my head down to my shoes,

Slip away from you.
Putin to Obama: Bring it on like Donkey Kong!
Obama to Putin: "I thought we had a deal".
Putin: "We do. I do what I want, you go jerk off in the hall."
Where is Reggie?
"It is not known if CVN-77 will continue to its scheduled final waypoint, the Arabian Gulf, or make a detour into the Black Sea."
You surely meant Persian Gulf?
.
Yes, I believe that's the translation from Stratfor-speak.
The Saudis, Qataris, Emirates, etc., do formally call it the Arabian Sea or Gulf. The no likie their neighbors across the waters, the Persians.
Same as on their maps, there is no Israel, they still show Palestine.
All perceptions, you know.
And BTW, when you fly into KSA, you get a white embarkation card to fill in. Do so in Green or Black ink.
Not Blue
Otherwise, you'll get yelled at and the passport thrown back in your face, told to get back into the end of the fucking line, creepy greasy guys staring at you from the "Official" areas, hassled, etc.
Why?
Because Blue and White are the Colors of the Israeli Flag
Perceptions....
I clicked on the facebook link and instantly regretted it. Concrete proof that our military has accepted the theme that everyone is special and deserves an award. Putin must be laughing his ass off thinking about these "avengers of the day".

Definitely time to sell that worthless bullion and stock up on bitcoin.
Hey! Fonestar is our approved Bitcoin trader and investment adviser around here.
Go do something else.
fonestar will be fine when the moon sets, later ...
A great carrier, but in the Black Sea probably a sitting duck. Not a good idea to go there.
Awesome....just awesome. Looks like I gotta go hit up the Sam's Club. These assholes are going to kill us all.
Perspective the US media isn't reporting:
Obama Draws Red Lines As World Lurches Toward Warhttp://thenewsdoctors.com/obama-draws-red-lines-as-world-lurches-toward-war/
The Obama red line in Syria meant nothing, why is this different. Yes, I checked out the link but think it's a bit over the top given what we know now. BTW, articles such as that continue to make the point of all these Russian citizens in the Ukraine. Actually, aren't they now legally Ukrainians of Russian ethnic origin? Aren't these the descendents of Russians moved into Ukraine by Stalin when he starved and murdered millions there? Do all these residents of Russian descent have dual citizenship?
