De-escalation Off: US Navy Sends Warship To Black Sea "In Direct Response To Ukraine Circumstances"
On the heels of NATO's declaration that is was suspending all practical cooperation with Russia (and ordered military planners to draft new measures to strengthen its defenses), Bloomberg reports that the US will be sending a Navy warship back to the Black Sea. Pentagon spokesman Army Colonel Steve Warren told reporters that the ship (as yet unnamed) wil be there to conduct exercises with allies and is a "direct response to the circumstances in Ukraine." and is the first in the Black Sea for 2 weeks.
NATO started the day off aggressively...
Nato said earlier on Tuesday it was suspending all practical cooperation with Russia in protest at its annexation of Crimea, and ordered military planners to draft measures to strengthen its defenses and reassure nervous Eastern European countries.
Which came on the heels of...
Move follows U.S. deployment of F-16 fighters to Poland and F-15 fighters to the Baltic to assist allies with regional air patrols
And now the US steps up the actions (as well as words)
U.S. in next several days will send a Navy warship into the Black Sea to conduct exercises with allies, Pentagon spokesman Army Colonel Steve Warren tells reporters
Warren wouldn’t name the vessel, the first in that body of water since a U.S. vessel departed March 21
Deployment is “direct response to the circumstances in the Ukraine
We can only wonder how long until Russia "test fires" another ICBM?

U.S.S. Target Practice
thank God......for a minute I thought that sanity had taken place. Let's go now.....roll out McCain and Lindsey and BEAT THAT DRUM!
Is this what they mean by "chumming the waters"?
"You've killed us you arrogant ass."
.....1st Officer to Soviet Sub Commander
"The Hunt For Red October"
Stupid is as stupid does.
Sorry about that, it was a misfire!
Maybe they are just stopping at the new gas station in Crimea, before heading home to Norfolk. I hear some Russian owns it now. Yeah, nice guy, they say.
Uh oh.. CNN.co headline :
It could happen in 12 hoursWilliam Hearst would be so proud of them!
Remember The... Remember The [as yet unnamed] !!
If it's an estimate coming from NATO command is Brussels, it is WRONG.
Don't forget to buy a lotto ticket.
Day late and a dollar short there guys.
Haven't they heard? Crimea is already Russian.
Hope the unnamed ship isn't the Liberty or Maine.
pods
Crimea? No. They want to demolish as much of Ukraine and Russia as possible so they would then have to borrow money from the banksters to rebuild what they themselves destroyed.
How 'bout... USS ObamaCare.
Sure to go to the bottom with all hands.
It sank already!
I just re-watched "The Hunt For Red October" over the weekend since Netflix was getting ready to remove it from streaming, and I pointed out to my kids that now we have people like Snowden fleeing to Russia.
Radar contact! It's the North Vietnamese Navy! They are attacking us!
Yo, be on the lookout for small, hi-speed torpedo boats!
spreading "democracy" one false flag at a time.
Did you think the satanist Tribe that runs the western world could ever reconcile with the thought of getting bitch-slapped by Russia twice in a year? Not just no but hell no; they'd rather get 95% of humanity killed than seeing their plans crumble in front of them.
Russians have nothing to fear. After Clinton was elected in 1992-3, the Navy enjoyed a dismantling like nothing ever seen before or since.
We replaced brilliant commanders with wannabes. Hundreds of them. HUNDREDS. It was carried out by an effeminant SecNav under orders, in my opinion. Destroy any vestige of espirit de corp in all of the services was amongst the first thing that a draft dodging pot smoker foisted upon the service.
We inserted...by force...a huge number of boot-lickers and politicians (because that's what it takes, just ask 'em) as flag officers.
We rammed a huge number of militant lesbian war-mongers into command positions. You know the type. It may be appropriate to add HERE that the Navy got along just fine for 150 years without ANY women.
With the snarling, snapping, cigarette stained teeth of Pelosi and Boxer, we spit women into combat ships. War ready? Ha! You guys can't even imagine what we are dealing with out there. To be fair, most don't want to be there. Hell, most men don't want to be at sea, let alone do-nothing women.
I don't know about y'all, but I'm fixin' to make me some popcorn. Do I want to see my tax dollars going to the bottom of the Black Sea? Not particularly. It's no longer my Navy though, it's just tax dollars and very unimportant lives aboard (I say that tongue-in-cheek). So why should americans care? We give billions away to crony bankers. BILLIONS.
Watching the skipper of that vessel surrender it to the Russians or skuttle it in fear will be particularly heart warming. Maybe the skipper can become a REAL patriot and do the right thing. Hell, maybe we have an American Captain Ramius on our side. One can only hope...
I take it that you stayed in or didn't retire from Active Duty until after the Clinton Downsizings were over, Chief.
I'm a Son of a Chief(WWII/Korea - Vietnam post AD Retirement on Aux Fleet Oilers with the 7th FLT) myself; and I Enlisted to go to the Trade School Pipeline for my Ring of the Seven Seas.
I got out during the Downsizing Myself - The Cold War just ended, my Late Father was just diagnozed with Alzheimer's with 2years to live, and the Detailer was talking about my going to Sea for up to 5 years to make LCDR due to the overcrowding in my MOS - when my Year Group was On Deck for the Early Promo Boards in a Year or two.
When I qualified for the Separation Bonus, I already served 2 beyond my Obligation and got out, eventually got him into a VA Alzheimer's Ward (actually lived 7years), moved my Mother near him, and heard about the Chaos regarding all the Officer Manpower shortages from letting too much talent go and not retiring the passed-over deadweight LIFERs fast enough.
7Ps Rule come to mind.
Mixed crews were on Tenders and Hospital Ships in my Time - I'm sure the Fleet had some adjustments to make in order to accomodate Mixed Crews on Warships with all the tight Berthing Spaces.
Regards,
We burned through a few billion dollars in accomodating the fairer sex building berthing infrastructure. Great spend. Then we spent another few hundred million trying to figure out how to shore up holes in the fleet when half of them wouldn't report for sea duty.
I got out right about when you did. I was at Office of Legislative Affairs and it was sooooo much fun trying to lobby to keep women off of combat ships, gays out of the military, etc, etc. I was a quality of life guy...pay raises for sailors, etc. It was always my trump card..."What's that Chief of Staff so-and-so? The Senator doesn't have time to discuss giving a 1.0% raise to our sailors yet he just gave himself a 12% one? Thanks, that's all I wanted to know. I'll inform the CNO on your, er, I mean, HIS position."
That was the place where I learned that they are all, ALL, a bunch of lying, self-important, scumbags. The D or R makes no difference. My personal favorite for the world's largest douche was Howard Metzenbaum-Ohio. One of the tribe and I'm fairly certain a dual-citizen (if not, he sure acted like he was). He hated the 2nd amendment. He hated freedom of any kind. In my opinion, pure communist.
I have stories. Good God. I thought Frank Kelso would have a heart attack about a dozen times. He was one of the last great flags. God only knows where they get the flags of today. Instead of retiring to a nice cushy job at Lockheed Martin or Boeing, the bastards today lobby Facebook and Google for work. What does that tell you?
watch them run aground and have to ask for help.
This is fucking nuts!
God bless her crew.
None of THEIR children will be on board...that is for sure.
just wait until they incentivise this by paying off student loans for sign-ups.
They do that already - provided you have a degree in something useful, like STEM - but then, if you had that kind of degree, you wouldn't need their deal.
U.S.S. Friendly Fire.
Fixed it.

THey are going to bait russia into goin into Ukraine to protect ethnic russians by getting their neo bazi shock troops bussed in to the particular areas to start roughing them up.
Putin warned he would only go in under those circumstances and they are going to make it happen, then lie like cement on the evening news like they do every day.
Do they even have evening news on anymore?
Ever since I found Scooby Doo reruns and Looney Tunes I stopped caring what is on tv after I eat.
pods
I remember television, I had one installed on my horse-drawn carriage
I quit watching Scooby Doo soon after the introduction of Scrappy Doo; I watched for a few shows, hoping he'd die a violent bloody death but quit when it became clear he was around to stay.
Same with that punk kid they added to Married With Children.
Oh no no, no Scrappy, the grey dog, or the Globetrotters. Only the original will do!
pods
The new Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated is actually quite good. Certainly as you say better than watching someone read something that isn't true.
Defcon 2.
Why...Why Why? Why are we doing this?....this is retarded and will accomplish nothing except anger other countries that control our financial future and can/will wipe us off the face ofhte earth militarily...God help us all (except Obama and obama supporters).
The same reason as Iraq Afghanistan. And of course it's in America's intrest.
i have said over and over again...
the people who r ur government r the MoneyChangers ....
the MoneyChangers r sociopaths...
they care not about anyone or anything else accept that which they desire...
and because of they r obsessed with their selfish desires they will destroy everything,anyone, even themselves in pursuit of their narcissitic objectives...
Can we start a "Kiev" here......
Sure, just find a Rotschild bank that'll finance your endeavour
Why...Why Why? Why are we doing this?
hush now son.
you talkin like a faggot dats been adopted by elton johns.
we do dis cos we can
we are the exceptable naision
we are the cock of the walks baby cock of der broadwalks.
in the country of der blind the one eyed cock is king.
you get wid the cock war programme soldier or yer for the low jump.
Uh oh, Choom In Chief sent the cabin boys in. Pooty must be shitting it.
Are we really going to let these fucking idiots start another war?
Of course we are going to let them start another war , just think of all thoses stupid people in the armed forces they cannot wait to kill people in the name of defending America and our freedoms. We as a human race get what we deserve.
Let it rest ya cunts!
ICBMs or not, Putin is laughing his ass off..... "Barak Obama? Never heard of her."
Putin, laughing his ass off:

Dear Russian patriots, grandsons of heroes of Big Patriotic war, which they won against brutal agressors.
Please close the Afghanistan northern transit window. And let them burn!
they will probally run it aground again...
Remind me again what the ukrain has to do with us? Nothing?....exactly!
Ukraine is the leading exporter to the US for topless dancers in NJ juice bars.
Surely that counts for something in world affairs.
Hopefully NATO can airlift the rest of those nubile young women from Ukraine before any shots are fired. That would be the only humanitarian mission they ever got right.
Remind me again what the ukrain has to do with us?
Sorry Doc, I don't the word "us" means what you think it means.
So much for War-Weary America... The MIC is somewhere in a huge circle-jerk.
Hey Ron Paul!! Think you can come back for one more run at it???
Ron Paul's likely building a bunker right about now.
Helping out GDP every way they can.
Can somebody give me a relative comparison in terms of Russian and American armaments? Are Sukhoz jets comparable to Lockheed jets?
Are Yakhont missiles superior to Tomahawks? Who has more sophisticated weaponry?
Both sides have nukes. People will die. Anything else is just masturbating over military hardware.
I assure you both that the US has the finest weapons that American grandchildren can pay for.
Janes has all you want.
Wait for Freddy,he loves Russian hardware,especially Russian cock.As far as your question goes,who knows ? The available specs are propaganda,we'll have to see the missles fly to find out the truth.
P-800 and 3M-54 (P-270, too) are vastly superior to Tomahawk, but the Tomahawk isn't primarily designed to be an anti-ship missile. Russian anti-ship missiles can definitely put a damper on US force-projection.
We can't lose nearly as many people as they can; even worse if fighting China - and we're broke - but that won't stop the M.I.C. from trying to kill more of our kids and blow more taxpayer money on pointless foreign entaglements.
We can only wonder at the diplomacy actually.

"we won, you lost" is the opening negotiating position?
"ummmm, that's a very fine suit you are wearing Mr. Foreign Minister. Might I inquire as to your tailor?"
This is the kind of insanity i love. "Obama et al grow the mustachio."

You wanna play with the big boyz now phuckers? Then start payin' homage to the Master. "skull phucking and all" you putrid human waste product.
I wonder about your sanity too, I only know a couple people who suffer as bad as you do.
One upvote. Why did you upvote yourself? lol
Tanks, guns, aircraft, troops mean nothing in the face of a nuclear warhead.
Well, if anything will save us, it will be the self-preservation instincts of our sociopathic "leaders".
I have a feeling our sociopathic leaders are being led into a trap...
Oh great.
Now we just need some drunk Russian tugboat captain deciding he wants to be a badass.
U.S. black ops team embedded on the Crimean coast to fire a land-ship missile on the U.S.S. Guppy (whatever it is) - blame the Russians "The horror, the horror" - to get the U.S. sheeple all fired up to send NATO into Ukraine.
MIC would not seek out the American people's approval to go to war. They would wait for the Red Shield based in Europe to give the go-ahead, then comes the event, and then the propaganda.
This is just my opinion.
Just noise. "Whatever" the markets want, the markets will get. Noticed that the e mini NASDAQ 100 futures refuse to go even -.0.01 percent negative today. just danced around it and then are bought up.
When you tell someone beforehand that you are moving military hardware into their domain, you have no intention on using it...
Squids are probably too dumb to read the NY Times
Records Show Doubts on ’64 Vietnam CrisisWASHINGTON — In an echo of the debates over the discredited intelligence that helped make the case for the war in Iraq, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday released more than 1,100 pages of previously classified Vietnam-era transcripts that show senators of the time sharply questioning whether they had been deceived by the White House and the Pentagon over the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident.

Good luck anyway, Sunburn and Oniks missiles await..
According to Carney it's just looking for MH 370
Gasoline on the fire.
The exercises with Romania and Bulgaria have not finished or maybe couple of days ago.
Exercises were suspended for min a week because of bad weather so I don't think this news is correct.
Hoist the "False Flag" matey's, and Godspeed to you. At the rate TOTUS and Horsehead Kohn are escalating this debacle, we'll all be glowing green by summer.
What does the first 'T' in TOTUS stand for?
Turdburglar
Teleprompter

Tuches
NATO is acting like a rabid dog,just waiting for any excuse to escalate this situation.
Grow the FUCK up will you and for once for humanity`s sake act your fucking age.
If the powers across the world have got a problem with eachother,i think the human race would prefer if you would just duke it out between yourselves and leave us the fuck out of it.
No wonder countrys around the world are going to shit with riots & stuff,they are just copying our great leaders examples of how to act.
"In the Navy" hum-hum-hum-hum-hum.
Wow, a ship in the Black Sea, that'll show 'em!
Toot-toot!
Are the Village People still around? Send them.
I'm assuming the UK will NOT send backup in the form of HMS Pinafore.
What is the possible benefit of moving a navyship into the black sea? Does anyone really think it is a threat? Flexing military muscle is only good if you are willing to use it, and if that is the case, then it is the literal end of the world - WWIII. This is so totally insane....
The empire has no clothes...quit huff and puffing and take care of your own people, if you have any dignity (or ink...) left America!
Blood Moons?? http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/insideisrael/2014/February/Divine-Sign-for-Is...
Yeah, like they wish. Any lunar eclipse can be red, it depends on your viewing location and timing.
This one takes place before a Grand Cross and a solar eclipse on the 29th. Last time this happened was 1933.
Astrology is just a legit as economics when it comes to war.

Can't some US Military generals arrest these Globalists. If Obama doesn't have any decision making power concerning the United States of America and is in fact a TOTUS, can't the generals arrest the Globalists that control him for terrorism against the United States of America?
This sucks. If it comes down to it I hope Russia and China do the right thing and go after the globalists personally instead of jeopordizing the destruction of the world and the United States of America.
We the people deserve it too.....elections have consequences....
Here comes the new, improved, and expanded Monroe doctrine where the West tries to consolidate control of resouce-rich areas and lock the Eastern bloc out. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the Arctic for instance. . .
These people are absolutely nuts. If they were aware of just how many Russians were in the US they would realize the globalists have lost it. In my German language class there is one Ukrainian and one Russion. At least two of the bookstore workers are Russion. There has to be many thousands Russian citizens in the California college system alone. WTF

8. Callous/lack of empathy
9. Parasitic lifestyle
10. Poor behavioral controls
11. Lack of realistic long-term goals
12. Impulsivity
13. Irresponsibility
14. Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
15. Criminal versatility
"The Psychopath Test" by Jon Ronson and minddisorders.com
We are so fucked.
and if the government is psychopathic, then what does that tell you about the pathology of everyone who casts a vote into such a system?
will americans wake up?
This ship is carrying the DOD's newest weaponry - a sophisticated system that lets US warships draw a big red line in the water. The plan is to deploy this awesome weapon right down the middle of the Black Sea. Red on Black - get it? That's gonna terrify Ivan and make him slink back to momma, fer sure.
I thought red on black was a friend to Jack?
Red on yellow though..
this is the only method that the Rothschild Regime has left to defend their monetary hegemony - the final stand - petro$ death watch
Maybe just a little Naval exercise standing off from Sakhalin or Kamchatka...with perhaps an amphibious landing exercise in the Japanese Kuril Islands. Something to put doubt in Putin's mind and challenge his perception of relative power. After all, they are more than 4000 miles from Moscow via a single railroad link. Bremerton Navy Yard is closer, but across blue sea. Who has a greater claim to Eastern Siberia - European Russians or those to whom the czar unloaded Alaska? Someone needs to protect the Chukotko-Kamchatkan speakers. Not to mention there is lotsa gas in Kamchatka...
Exercises my ass that boat is nothing more than an armed 'cargo' ship to drop off supplies.
It is not the US that needs to be involved just NATO then everyone gets sucked into it because of these treaties. If the guns come out it is going to be all out to save that financial backdoor globalist control system these parasites use to control the whole game.
Russia holds the cards, not only stragetically, but in world opinion.
These are two superpowers; both with nuclear weapons; both with heavy financial connections in every country of the world.
There isn’t going to be a war. They are pushing everything to get leverage against each other. The bankers are trying to leverage Ukraine as an extension of their debt empire. And Putin is resisting. The US has some leverage power, yes, but Putin has considerable leverage power. And Putin’s leverage is military. There is no substitute for soldiers on the battlefield rather than air power.
No one knows at all, but I for one do not think there will be a war. A war of this magnitude means everybody loses.
If America is under control of the Federal Feserve owners, this is what they do. It is the identical system they employed in Russia when they took over the Czar's government.
That is absolutely true you need boots on the ground to hold an area if they ain't yours, it ain't yours simple as that something these mercenary using lovers seem to forget. Air primarly for protection or expansion not for holding existing territories.
It is real simple refuse to participate and that includes non-mercenary military people by refusing to follow orders if they are forced to pick weapons to fight except in defending themselves or defending their own homelands. Force these globalist assholes to fight this one with their mercenaries and resources out in the open so everyone can see who is the real problems here. Stop allowing them hijack our sovereignty and using our country as a front for their criminality.
.... and The Federallies are sending sells into the grain and oil futures dark pool. Look ma, no inflation, stocks are cheap, zirp forever.
Putin’s leverage is military. There is no substitute for soldiers...
But aren't we being told the trigger point is gas / oil / petro-dollar and even the re-alignment fracking is having on the global energy balance? With this in mind, what about Russia's ability to disrupt Alaskan flows? I suppose US can defend our interests there, but our primary focus for over a decade has been in desert and heat, not boots on the tundra.
Ya know, there's something to be said about Russia's ability to annex Crimea without so much as a single legitimate fire fight from the citizens to prevent it. Frankly, I wish the Oligarchs could find a better way to retire a reserve currency than to pay for it with the loss of lives of those other than their own.
jmo.
as part of europistan:
me dont want war.
additionally i want to take position here,
there is no sicker point on world to start a war with russia
than crimea.
Seems only appropriate for the US to send in a SWIFT-boat given the circumstances, don't you think?
Hopefully wih Secretary of State Lurch duct-taped to the bow.
Damn the torpedos...
Full Speed Horsehead.
The Russian Navy might put a nuke sub right off the U.S. East Coast in response.
The Black Sea is a Russian lake and we had best not put more than one ship in there.
I suspect it (and more) are already there.
Forget the East Coast. Go right up the Chesapeake or the Mississippi. THAT will show em! YEssir.
Send the U.S.S Homo-Transgendered!
That'll show the Rooskies!
Missile launchers and depth charges - in the break room.
Bloomberg reports that the US will be sending a Navy warship back to the Black Sea.
Ain't getting too queasy their in the stomach department because you'll be needing all your intestinal fortitude for this job!
Hope you got more plans for hardware deployments than that Colonel -cause you'll be needing it? That and a another epic "false flag" to get the players motivated for what you think you're about to do!!!
The stupidity of this scares me more than the guns scare any Russians.
Guess it proves that saving face and perpetuating the facade that all is well through market manipulation is just as important as starting a World War!
And to your point this is truly when you know your leadership is 'off it's nutter'.
There is a book that says that the world was sleepwalking into WWI. Seems to me that if there is another generation after WWIII they would say that we barged into it.
The banksters are irate....
." The Russians are not playing our game so lets try and force them to do so."
Fish in a barrel, ducks on a pond. Excellent strategy.
Let's not forget that Barry is the proud recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Given the way he's handled all other foreign policy the ship is likely en route to deliver a full surrender of the US to Putin.
Well the world is sufficiently upside down that it is not entirely unreasonable to hope for the captain of any US Navy vessel ordered to fire, unprovoked, onto any other target in that area to contact their local counter-parties, and say "I defect". Or, at least for his subordinates to refuse to commit a futile suicide with a resolute cacophony of "Sir, no sir!"
It already happened. In Kosovo War.
In Russia, US Navy provides SINKEX Ships.
these fuckin russkis are bat ship shit crazy.
dis is a suicidie die mission.
you are corract nothing can beets der uss sink x class ships
Your schtick is getting crusty and stale.
I miss Boris Allotovkrap, he had the right broken English and much better material and comic timing. You, sir, are no Boris Allotovkrap.
I hope Boris wasn't a victim of the Crimean "invasion", MSM told me there were many shots (of vodka) fired.
You, sir, are speaking for yourself. In my book, Tony Wilson is the greatest, incomparable. His use of irony and tongue-in-cheek dialect comedy at times borders on genius. In fact, I save them. Lighten up.
... from Cuba?
Oh shit! Not a boat! This boat fucks up gas pipelines or something!
Blackwater and Mossad are already on site. They will sink this ship, blame the Russians and the Murican media will be "outraged."
Rothschild wins again!
This looks just like their Boer War gambit.
It worked before, so they'll try it again. Failures, like in Syria, don't count.

What happens when Russia says neyt to space station access and cargo?
The UK is preparing to send troops to take part in joint Nato war games in Eastern Europe in response to Russia’s ongoing actions against Ukraine, the Defence Secretary has said.
Philip Hammond said British typhoon aircraft would likely be based in Estonia to help police the skies around the Baltic sea, as part of a commitment to “greater participation in exercises in the Baltic States”.

Unnamed because calling it USS Expendable might make a few sailors doubt their mission.
De-escalation isn't happening, it never happened. It's just a call to blame Russia who did nothing but defend their positions of gas, oil and militarily locations. You know something is terribly wrong if defending yourself is called an escalation while the aggressive escalation efforts like sanctions and NATO-movements of the West are called a response or protection.
