Watch As A US Missile Destroyer Departs Greece For The Black Sea
Yesterday we reported that with the US aircraft carrier, CVN-77 George H.W. Bush, anchoring in Piraeus, Greece, an unnamed US warship had been granted permission by Turkey to cross the Bosphorus and enter the Black Sea. There was speculation it may be the carrier itself, even though such a crossing would be forbidden by the Montreaux Convention. Today we have the answer: it is not CVN-77, but one of the ships from its aircraft carrier strike group - the guided-missile destroyer USS Truxton, which as the clip below shows, just departed the Greek port of Souda Bay earlier today.
From Stripes.com:
A U.S. guided-missile destroyer is bound for the Black Sea in what the Navy calls a routine visit unrelated to events in Ukraine.
The USS Truxtun, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer with about 300 sailors on board, departed Greece early Thursday, said a spokesman for U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa in Naples.
The Truxtun is part of the George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group, which recently entered the Mediterranean and is training with regional navies before continuing to the Middle East. The group also includes Carrier Air Wing 8, the destroyer USS Roosevelt and the cruiser USS Philippine Sea.
But lest someone think that just like Russia's ICBM test coming at a most inopportune time, this move has anything to do with Ukraine tensions, the US Navy would like to frame the situation in a far more amicable manner:
The ship is scheduled to train with Romanian and Bulgarian naval forces for an unspecified period of time, conducting joint maneuvers and landing aircraft on ships. The spokesman, Lt. Shawn Eklund, said the visit is unrelated to Russia’s recent incursion into Ukraine. "Truxtun’s operations in the Black Sea were scheduled well in advance of her departure from the U.S.,” he said.
Well of course they were. But just in case not sending a missile destroyer into the Black Sea would be seen as a way to avoid escalations, it is best to make sure such confusion is avoided entirely.
For a brief glimpse of the truth behind the real purpose of this trip, we also find the destroyer will join the USS Taylor as the only two U.S. vessels inside the Black Sea during a period of heightened tensions. A a reminder, the Taylor, a guided-missile frigate, remains moored in Samsun, Turkey, after it ran aground in February - good thing it did not have to defend the "free world" from all those Sochi terrorists that America was convinced will blow everything up.
So what does a ship departing for the Black Sea for what may or may not be simple drills with friendly naval forces? The answer can be found in the clip below.

"The ship is scheduled to train with Romanian and Bulgarian naval forces for an unspecified period of time, conducting joint maneuvers and landing aircraft on ships."
At least they aren't loading the boat up with Karzai's opium...
It looks like a grey extra large JET SKI ;-)
Looney
On the missile destroyer USS George W.H. Bush is a lifeboat named USS George W. Bush
Cue tiny boat, flying (made in China) Russian flag, zooming towards US warship...lots and lots of news footage...shots fired...
IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT! FILM AT ELEVEN!
Is that too obvious?
Gotta check the Truxton's facebook page...
I don't know bout u but I feel a LOT safer now............
That's a fine lookin' target.
my boy is on the ghw Bush as an aircraft mechanic
they have planes 'hot' loaded on the deck
he says its not uncommon, but i think he just doesnt want me to worry
tell him to watch their six for unmarked (israeli) subs compliments of the german taxpayer.
Looks like an old rusty Russian antisub vessel of 569 feet length suffered an unfortunate sinking "accident" in a 1,000 foot wide harbor entrance that is now blocking elements of the Ukrainian fleet.
As a result the Ukrainian navy now has undisputed control of Donuzlav Lake...

How creative of them............
Expect more of this (creative war that is). This should be assymetrical warfare at its best.
They don't call it a 'Theatre' for nothin'.
Would this be any relation to Truxton Spangler? Nice tie in with a ship blocking the harbor. #Rubicon ??
These 300 sailors need to say goodbye to their loved ones real soon.....
Wouldn't be a Z.H. thread without an Israeli or antisemetic jeer from John 39. Used to be Francis S-Guess John 39 is carrying the torch now. YOU GO JOHN39!
Also wouldn't be one without some Israeli Apologist Troll trying to convince the world the USS Liberty incident was anything but an intentional attack by Israel on a US boat, known to be a US boat, and attacked for one or more of about three reasons, to include an attempted false flag to provide an excuse for the US to attack Egypt.
My guess is lbj, that revolting puke, was in on it.
Remember Liberty?
Sorry, the pun was just screaming to be made.
isnt there a recording of the 'send it to the bottom' conversation with LBJ on yotube somewhere?
LBJ wasn't stupid. He knew the crew he was rolling with and sure as shit didn't want the Navy or the NSA screwing with them.
@Johnny Cocknballs,
Yeah, they have a habit of attacking US and other Westerners with terrorist attacks like the King David Hotel Bombing, the Lavon Affair, the USS Liberty, the Beirut barracks bombing, and their fingerprints all over 911.
9-11's a lie, sing along

Funny how the truth ends up being anti-semetic.
Good luck with that. I hope those USN F-18's don't try to tangle with the Su-35s or Su-27s. Those US-Zio MIC contractor aging carrier planes may have some problems with those Chinese parts that defense contractor buy to save money. Probably buy then from a Sen. Feinstein front company.
http://www.businessinsider.com/sukhoi-su-35-fighter-jet-stars-in-paris-2...
The Su-35 is scary good as contrasted with the F-35 which is a overpriced and bloated piece of shit,.
Russia only has 34 Su-35 craft in operation total... a single Nimitz class carries 36 F/A-18 fighters... let's get some perspective, we all know the US brings the biggest switch to the woodshed
I see a "False-Flag" in our near future... Something tells me we haven't heard the last of the USS Truxton. Hope I'm wrong...
Hey "Thought Processor"
FUCK YOU SHIT BAG!!
THAT'S A BRAVE CREW AND CAPTAIN AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!
I'm up your ass from now on
Can you post a selfy?
don't forget the squirrel...and the white shrouded corpse being dumped off rear port right out of frame.
It will be llike Southpark hunting rules:

A USO show of the Queen in drag might frighten the people on the other side. I'm sure they could erect a big screen on deck and broadcast the show from the S&M room at WH HQ.
Will this be a gay cruise on the new Gay US Military? Sailor suits optional?
The Russians need a good joke. Fly over one of those piece of shit F-35s for a real good laugh. What a MIC piece of shit.
Wow Freddy very obvious with your gay facination that your a pole smoker.By the way dumb fuck there aren't any operational F35 squadrons so keep dreaming your gay little fantasy.
I don't know about a Trojan Horse... the US could have really sent a big "fuck you" reply by steaming an Arleigh Burke in there that was ABMD capable... well, officially capable anyway wink wink nudge nudge say no more lol
USS Maine ?
Just look at those poor fucking kids that are being sent off for a fool's mission. Nothing good, no matter what.
agree....and if they're lucky enough to get back home, they have a layoff staring them in the face.
Remember the Maine! (to hell with Spain!)
Another false flag.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Maine_(ACR-1)
Don't foret the Lusitania, the Titanic, (Olympic?), Pearl Harbor, and the Gulf of Tonkin, either. False flags abound. For some reason, these fuckers love sinking ships... after over 100 years of this garbage, you think they'd mix it up a bit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M84l19H68mk
So wait, Pearl Harbor was the Joooos now too?
For some reason, I don't recall making that accusation. Probably because I didn't.
The Naval Court of Inquiry and the Army Pearl Harbor Board, in 1944, came to the uncomfortable conclusion that Washington had significant foreknowledge of Pearl Harbor. The "Purple Code," Japan's naval encoding mechanism, had been broken by American Naval Intelligence months in advance of Pearl Harbor, revealing the exact time and location of the event in question. The commanders on the ground were left deliberately uninformed. These are the facts. Perhaps not an attack directly fomented by Anglo-American Establishment, but certainly one facilitated by it.
If you care for a history lesson on the matter, I'd recommend the first 20 or so minutes of the following presentation. You might even learn something, who knows:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_gj1uZ6194
Anything ever happen that wasn't a false flag?
Yup, won't be the post WW2 economy that's waiting for them if they make it back...
They can't be "poor" kids - they're McFatties
What the hell is the US Military becoming... (not there's anything wrong with that... given its proclivity for raping other nations)
I wonder if NWO John Soros-Amnesty McCain will sell these American sailors out like his admiral pappy and LBJ sold out the USS Liberty.
It is the US Navy way.
Piraeus is a pretty hot place.... lots of SUPER Yachts just taking up space.
Man am I glad I'm not doing that shit anymore.
Congrats on getting out.
Nothing new. I resigned my commission in 2007 over Mr. Bush's War.
Had some good times flying the H-53 in Italy (and other places). But when the time came to continue past my obligated service, accept the promotion to LCDR, and obligate myself to several more years, I decided couldn't take the oath of office with a clear conscience.
Same principle would apply here. We have no strategic interest in Ukraine. If we get ourselves into a fight over this, I really feel for the families of the servicemen who won't come home, having been killed in a military action that had absolutely nothing to do with defending Dearborn, Little Rock, or Boise.
You are a patriot. I salute you.
Damn few left.
You might be surprised.
The love boat? Really?
Not exactly.

22 Billion Dollars found: Photos of a Mexican drug lord's home after being raided
The money and valuables found in this one house alone, would be enough to pay for health insurance for every man woman and child in the USA for 12 years!
All photos here:

I though that bitcoin was evil because it could be used by druglords. You mean the Bernank's funny money can be used to buy drugs too? Well, Ill be damned.
Edit.. BTW that's not money you see there, it's currency. There's a big difference.
And none of it being rehypothecated and loaned out at interest. It's enough to make a bankster cry.
22 billion wouldn't pay for all the health care in the US for one month, much less 12 years.
Holy shit.
That has to be the biggest amount of hard currency ever held in a single building.
$20,000,000,000 in fucking $100 bills?
That's 200 million bank notes!!!
WTF?!?
Wells Fargo (Wachovia) agent soon to show up to take deposit of said funds before completion of the laundry.
it is not 20 billion. It is not even 2 billion or 1 billion. That article is horseshit.
yeah, that's what i thought without even looking... 'fake'
one of these days, something 'real' will be reported and i'll miss it because i'll automatically be reacting, 'fake'.
Tend not to click those Homment links.

So whose the Mohel that did the lousy job on your bris?
I can't find it?...
Oh excuse me that's not the Mohel's fault after all!
Wheres the gold?
It seems the world is keeping the global police force busy. The empire is being tested on many fronts.
They were lucky that the tug boats and the harbour authority were not on strike. Or perhaps they had to pay them fakelaki.
Wishing that U.S. Missile Destroyer in the "Black Sea" All the Luck in the World!...
I'm hoping they don't need it.
Shit happens though.
Time for a false flag.
Quite possible perhaps we could be witnessing another June 8, 1967 on our hands. But this ain't the Med in 1967...
And when those sailors are all dead as will be both John Kerry, President Remus and everyone else in Washington for that matter which will be the only "bright spot" to the outcome they might hatch, St. Peter is going to tell those sailors what happened to them and that they will never need to worry about sharing a room in the "basement furnace" with the likes either of them for eternity.
About the only comment I can make at this point.
This just saddens me, potentially sending young American men to their deaths.
Gulf of Tonkin incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yes, absolutely. Good luck. If anything should happen, God forbid, the VA will provide the best care available for you and your loved ones.
This is so fucking stupid.
Who the fuck honestly believes we're going to get into some Naval battle with Russia over the Ukraine?
This is stupid shit being done by stupid people.
o/t interesting fact:
In 1968 North Korea captured the USS Pueblo (a US naval intelligence ship). They still have it to this day and it is mandatory that every North Korean visit it as part of their indoctrination process. To this day it remains a commissoned vessel of the United States Navy.
Yes but a cheezy destroyer is perfect for a Zato false flag.
They could always call a coal dust explosion a mine, unless they realize she doesn't run on coal!
If you assume (scenario play) that Bibi & Neocon Friends dictate US policy, then it matters 'naught' who bleeds or dies for them.
It's a small Club, and we ain't in it"
Who would have thought elements of the government want to provoke a war with Iran? How was that in the national security interests of the United States, let alone lawful?
Well hopefully the US Navy will not need any air support because the F-18s will be practically useless against Su-35 and Su-27 plus the SS-400's.
The only good things is the US Navy will not be flying that defective piece of shit the F-35 Scambird. Made by another MIC scam contractor. Kelly Johnson must be spinning in his grave.
Here is the awesome Su-35. Scary good.

I'll take two.
In the not too distant future naval ships will become what the equine cavalry was in 1919 - ceremonial only.
The Poles still used them against tanks in 1939.
With predictable results.
How silly. A tank will drive circles around a ship.
Everyone is ignoring how the drones can drop the three ball in the corner pocket or put a HE shaped charge rocket on a tank, shredding everyone inside it or hitting a dozen tanks at once. Major imagng advances and multi-targeting programming mean a drone can be spent instantly and hit all targets in the field. Y'all need to read up on technology which the Yemeni and Paki mountain cave dwellers have been experiencing.
Do you know in which single event the Polish army suffered greatest losses during WWII?
When Polish soldiers were jump-starting the submarines. [rimshot]
Yes but Navy ships create jobs for fat dock workers and they can name ship against treasonous scum like McCain's old man who sold out the USS Liberty with LBJ.
It's what is under the surface that really matters and that info isn't published
Nato, if you like your Crimea you can keep your Crimea
I avoid honey traps. No sale.
Not a big deal. Very likely arranged well in advance and the US would have informed the Russians about the deployments.
The US boats are nothing but sitting ducks there, it's not meaningful in military terms, but the opportunity for a false flag, or more likely, simply creating a situation where conflict is likely, it could well provide the spark the Global Banking Empire wants.
Harken ye, to the warnings inherent to this short documentary.
Beware the neocons.
Don´t the US have some drone ships? I mean, it seems they have some kind of drone president too. Remote controlled from JPMoargun headquarters.
...which in turn is NMRothschilds.
Hope it doesn't become the U.S.S. Coral reef......
Oh come there's no follow up to this :

What does Obama know about LAW, international or otherwise? His is the most lawless administration we have ever seen.
Now, if he said that the people of the Crimea cannot vote because I have handpicked their next leader, Yatsenyuk, now spelled Yatseniuk, this I would believe.
Backdoor Barry carping about "International Law" is a real laugh.
Jesus Christ, give the man a break. It isn't like he is superhuman, but that is what the ZH fuckwits expect of him.
Right now, he probably needs help. I'll bet there are sweet fuck all people trying to help, just a mob of fuckwits and crooks all out for their own self-interested needs whispering in his ear.
Some days I despair for humanity. The critical perspective others have of obama is in no way balanced. He is just another bloke, with the same abilities.
Poor Mr. Obama. Working so hard for the common man and the good of the country and never receiving any understanding or kindness in return. You are unbelievable.

It should be called Tonkin...not Truxtun... False Flag coming right up
Packs a punch...

- Tomahawk missiles for land based targets
- Anti submarine
- Anti missile / anti aircraft
- Anti ship (some models, mot sure of this ship)
- Helicopter facilities
Should be able to survive for a while. Assume carrier in the Med can back it up.
Goal may be to "rescue" the Ukrainian ships being blockaded by Russia in Savastopol. Getting Ukraine forces out of Crimea "unscathed" and without a fire fight under the cover of "Negotiation" may give Russia a soft victory, all those miltary resources to be re-deployed in eastern Ukraine to stand off the Russian threat there while allowing something of a de-escalation (as in remove points of contact for opposing forces).
Crimea has gone from Ukraine, goal now is to stop the rot, without their being a fire fight
It's 10 pm in the Ukraine, do you know where your children are?
Would be interesting to know how many submarines under how many flags are there in the Black Sea.
Good stuff, excepting I don't think that boat would be effective, even if still afloat, after more than about 15 minutes elapsed. Not in that lake.
even the americans are not this stupid. are they?
And which U.S. submarine will be used to sink it?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrFUBKCONfs
I feel sorry for the poor young kids on that duck who dont understand whats going down.
A direct hit from an S-300, S-400 is not something those kids deserve. Their bosses should and do know better.
This is as my old gran used to say, 'A Fools Erand'.
I am fucking sick of this shit, and this time, we can hang our heads in shame, we are the wrong ones here friends, and the fuckers who 'Rule' us, damn well know it. No possible good can come this way through shit like this.

Remember nearly sinking ourselves when a starshell misfired.
Shit happens. at the best of times.
Winston my friend,
Not a thought, not a care, not a damn two fucks is given of those aboard that duck for the souls who may be cast upon us, through the recklessness of those who serve 'US'.
Hell is beyond these bastards who send men to needless death, who through no fault of their own, have no idea they are wheels in the machine. And those that would jump on me otherwise, not all of us have awoke, or can awake in the times we live, as we have here.
This will be a brutal reckoning, I stated on the first of January here, on ZH.
2014
The game is on, the end is right fucking here.....
My sincerest best to all those who found the truth, no matter when, we are by fucking Dog himself, going to need it. If you need more proof than we already have, look at the fucking maniac imbeciles running us toward WW3.
This is, in the truest sense, insane.
Anyone remember the Stephen Segal film where they are firing star shells? Segal is friends with Putin and likes the Russians and Russia.
Segal's on their side?... we're f'd.
Chill, Chuck Norris is all American and that's all that counts. The POTUS may be a wus but I don't think the rest of the country is following his sissy ass lead.
What if they have Dolph Lundgren waiting on deck?
The biggest risk is a false flag from Zato-NWO. The Russians will not take that scow out.
Zero Ledge beating the war drums...again.
Indeed, nothing more warmongering than pointing out which ship is going to be sacrificed for the false flag, and pointing it out publicly, so that when it is destroyed, enough people know about it to make a pretty big stink in an admittedly futile effort, but at least reducing the national productive capacity to make war on a prolonged basis.
Fucking warmongers indeed.
Mother, should I run for President?
Mother, should I trust the government?

"The ship is scheduled to train with Romanian and Bulgarian naval forces for an unspecified period of time, conducting joint maneuvers and landing aircraft on ships."
can you land aircraft on a missile destroyer? intentionally that is.
choppers.
