Two Chinese Warships Enter The Black Sea
On Friday we reported that for the first time in history, Chinese and Russian navies will begin a significant joint naval exercise in The Mediterranean Sea in mid-May.
Citied by RT, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng said that "The aim is to deepen both countries' friendly and practical cooperation, and increase our navies' ability to jointly deal with maritime security threats," but diplomatically added "these exercises are not aimed at any third party and have nothing to do with the regional situation."
Against a background of this week's "upgraded Japan-American military relationship" following Abe's visit to Obama, as one analyst notes, "the geopolitical significance of its exercising alongside Russia will not be lost on the U.S. and NATO."
While it was unclear if directly related to the upcoming "historic" drill, the Bosphorus Navy Blog reports that in what is a comparable "first" yesterday two warships from Peoples Republic of China were seen passing through the Bosphorus, and entering the Black Sea.
More:
Two Jiangkai II (type 054A) class frigates 550 Weifang and 547 Linyi from PLAN North Sea Fleet made a northbound passage through the Turkish Straits. The destination of these Chinese ships were not disclosed.

NATO promptly responded and hours ago AP reported that a top NATO commander said the alliance will briefly move its allied joint force command from Italy to Romania - which has a historic Black Sea port in the town of Constanta - as NATO continues to react to Russia's moves in Ukraine.
Admiral Mark Ferguson, Commander of Allied Joint Force Command based in Naples, Italy, said the command will be based in Cincu, central Romania, for 12 days in June, to support a NATO exercise involving 1,000 troops from 21 NATO states.
Cincu is Romania's largest military shooting range, some 180 kilometers (112 miles) northwest of Bucharest.
"This deployment will be the first time a NATO Joint Force Command Headquarters has deployed to Romania," Ferguson said Tuesday.
At the same time, NATO will conduct exercises in Poland, the Baltics and the Baltic Sea.
As a reminder, in the summer of 2013 when the Syria war tensions saw a build of US, Russian and even Chinese ships in the Mediterranean ahead of what could be the first global Middle East war. The war was avoided in the last minute. This time the naval build up is taking place even closer to both Europe and Russia, and now even China is present.

China has plans to build deep water port in Sevastopol in Crimea to be able to ship good to EU throught there
No Biggie this could go either way
.
The Chinese need another Island WarBase
Opposing armies and navies massing at a global hotspot and threatening each other. Thank goodness it's just an exercise and has "nothing to do with the regional situation." Relax, everyone?
Yawn, let us know when just one ship is sunk.
We better get Enterprise and Hornet turned into the wind.
Whenever something has 'nothing to do with', it generally means it has Everything to do with...
Until recently, Chinese military sea vessels were never in locations like the Mediterranean Sea.
Slowly but surely it's evident that China is extending her international reach. Interesting times.
They (China AND Russia) smell weakness - in more than just one area.
"Just as the gathering of vultures shows there is a carcass nearby, so these signs indicate that the end is near." - Matthew 24:28
They just smell Obumbles bad gas, there is nothing for China that Russia can offer compared to trade with the west. Russia has an economy SMALLER than that of just California so get real and stop squealing like piglets.
So
You know when the drought is going to break. Maybe I should invest in a dozen new golf courses.
most of the comments really funny or better yet sophomoronic. lmao
shut it boyo
You will go with the men in the life rafts. The officers and I will submerge beneath you, and scuttle the ship.
"Your friends are walking into a trap - it was I who allowed the 'alliance' to know the location of the shield generator..."
I wonder if the sailors will get a leave...and can go hit on the Russian whores...that should be funny....
reminds me of illegal duck hunting, shoot them before they fly or shooting fish in a barrel(that is salted fish in a barrel, packed tight to preserve the fish forever, bacalao for instance. that is why they are so easy to shoot. useless trivia but it has bothered me that no one knows the origin of the meaning since mythbusters tried to shoot swimming fish in a barrel.)
navies are obsolete, on both sides but especially the usa fleet.
Nothing to worry about here, they are just there to test that the ships fit in the ports when they submit a joint bid with Russia to buy Greece.
Two Chinese Warships enter a Black Sea Bar...
The bartender says....
Know one ever thinks of the amount of trash those fucking things, irregardless of flag, spew into our oceans.
I guess these ones will leave a trail of chopsticks and plastic empty instant noodle bowls.
There is no such word as irregardless now go and think about that some...
A long ways to go to drink vodka and play navy in the Black Sea. But then, Marco Polo walked to China for Chinese takeout.
The Chinese are going to send Chinese workers to Russia to build another railroad.
If Bruce Jenner can be a pussy, then Hillary can grow a pair and be a man.
SOMEBODY has to put the boot on the neck of USA Imperialism !
Boats sink. But good for swindling populations.
Very true. The biggest boat collections, like trillion dollar aircraft carrier battle groups, make the easiest targets for the mach 10 Dongfeng 21-D. The US Navy's floating coffins will all be gone 15 minutes after the shooting starts. The US population was swindled when they paid for these corporate welfare fleets.
WHAT NO EGG ROLL?
Need 4 more ships for eggroll.

I had a VERY vivid dream this past weekend, very lucid. I actually got up and tried to write down what I could remember of it. Basically this is how the dream went regarding the shit hitting the fan:
1. "ISIS" terror threat trumped up in the USSA.
2. Simultaneous dollar/bond dump by China/Russia/Germany that the U.S. knows about and is using ISIS (C.I.A) as a rogue element to distract the U.S. population.
3. "ISIS' fighters rounded up and detained in closed Wal-Mart plumbing problem stores, media has mericans swooning in fear of the terrorists. Jade Helm "exercise" becomes real world.
4. Sheep U.S. "citizens" begging for protection as martial law is declared.
5. All hell breaks loose!
Coming this summer I believe....
If you're going to declare martial law, taking out Texas is a good first step. Citizens, don't fear these special pps exercises.
Fuck ISIS - they die like everyone else.
They come to the US and we will kill them all.
Fuck ISIS and their black flag
Credit where credit is due.
That black flag was Nuland's brain child
Wake up. ISIS is merely a NATO-supplied, CIA-contolled proxy mercenary army. That black rag is literally a 'false flag.'
What could go wrong??
Practice your duck and cover.
They're not red.
We gotcher secrets bitchez!
nice looking ship... they probably make 1 of these per day now.... US is finished.
The last time a Chinese Frigate was parked off the shore of Benghazi a "Special Mission Compound" and a CIA "Annex" got blown up.
ISIS supply lines were temporarily disrupted.
it's all the crypto-fascist italian's fault... just taking orders?, from mother
A vertical-launch version of A vertical-launch version of 9M38/HQ-16 medium-range surface-to-air missile would be provided to the Type 054A class frigate enhancing its air defense capabilities. In addition to the 32 9M38/HQ-16 missiles, the ship's weapon system may include eight (2x4) YJ-83 anti-ship missiles; a 100mm gun at the bow mounted on a stealthy turret; and four Type 730 close-in weapon systems.

Read what an Israeli Admiral (ret) has to say about Russia's Yakhont naval missile. Of course, he says that Israel is just millimeters away from a defense for it, but his words sound just like Hebrew Propaganda.
http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Ex-navy-chief-Israel-has-defenses-against-a...
Baby down-vote
I hope you creamed your unit sufficiently when you gave it your famous low rub before reading what the un-goy, Vice-Admiral Marom said about the Yakhont.
When it comes to everything, un-goys unlike yourself, know what they're talking about.
WTF you tokkin boud yaKhunt!!
Yep. Here's what the Jewish, Israeli ex-Naval Chief had to say
And the Pentagon is so nervous about the Yakhont, it had to put its special forces to figure it out, reverse engineer it, and turn it into a cherry bomb.
Yes sir, it told the IDF to get on it right away. And get back to the Joint Chiefs ASAP.
I fear our Bath House Bonesmoker is going to get OUR ass kicked...
Don't worry there Shirley he won't be doing any fighting and Russia won't start a war because NATO does some excercises.
...now, whats an-- 'erdogan to do'?
War ships without guns? Could they actually be peace ships?
Do ship to ship missiles count as guns?
Brain dead down-voter
I'm wrong.
Missiles are a million times more accurate than guns.
I noticed that Murican Navy hasn't come back since that scary encounter with the old Soviet SU-24 in the April of the last year. Why is that I wonder? ehehe
so many racists on ZH these days...good job Tyler
What has so scared "all-powerful" Murican Navy on that old Soviet SU-24 that Muricans haven't returned, hm? Perhaps that Scandinavian NWO whore can offer an explanation of why their Zionist Navy hasn't found the courage to return a year after the incident happened? ehehe
Most ships today are sitting ducks, just like carrer groups and tanks on the soil, I think.
I wondered about that myself. Of course there are many publications which seek to refute what happened to the USS Donald Cook under the catch-all of "Russian propaganda". Don't get me wrong though, I like to see bullies get their comeuppance just as much when it's pointed out the emperor isn't wearing any clothes too.
Propaganda or not, NATO Navy would become minced meat in the Black sea. You see, you don't have to have a submarine or a ship to launch underwater torpedos; as for ships even thousands of miles from the shores, they too are an easy target for the weapons of this age. Ships don't even have to come close to the shores. They can be easilly knocked out with ballistic misslies stuffed with some cruise missiles. When a ballistic misslie comes close to a target, it launches cruise cargo and they will sink the target. Every ship can be sank many a thousand kilometers away. Easily. Of course 3rd world countries possess no such capability, and many 1st world countries as well, but that would be a child's play for Russian capabilities.
But we only need to wait a while longer and no Western - Oceania - agression in the future will be possible. As the dollar parasitism upon the world ends, so dies the NWO Military Arm aka Murican Army.
p.s.
And China only needs to ensure that the West has no capability in the future to issue a "reserve currency" again. If the SDRs or bancor come about, then Western oligarchs, that NWO cunts, will retain the power to print or digitally conjure whatever amount of currency units, and then they can again build their private army like they did with Murican Army. China has to ensure that the West doesn't retain the power of controlling the supply of currency!
BOTH SIDES
admit that the SU-24 made a dozen passes (12) over the Cook.
Don't you think that after the 7th or 8th time, any respectable ship in a respectable navy would be sending missiles up? Or at least firing side arms at the threatening jet?
Are we supposed to think that the commander of the Donald Cook was so calm he just waited for the Russian planes to run out of gas and go home, while at the same time the Pentagon's canine teeth are dripping with blood from all the war and naval games they're playing along Russia's Western Border.
IMHO if Russia showed the US their Khibiny, common sense tells you they have something even more potent in their bag of tricks.
Supposedly the USS Donald Cook had just been targeted by Russian coastal defenses in Crimea when it approached the Crimean coast, right before this SU-24 incident. I think the ship's officers were a teensy bit rattled.
The recent video "Crimea: Way Back Home" mentions how Russia scared off the Cook. See: http://thesaker.is/crimea-way-back-home-full-video-with-english-subtitle... It is a long video and that discussion is somewhere around 1:45 or 2:00 - sorry cannot be more exact. Putin said in the interview that he had not ordered the jet to buzz the Cook, but "somebody was naughty." Then he smiled.
I recently read, but did not copy the link, that since the USS Donald Cook affair no NATO warship has sailed as close to the Crimean strand as the Cook did before its 90 minutes of fame.
The Su-24 never flew over the Cook. It flew towards it and then broke off prior to entering the zone where the ship had to make a decision. The make beleive story is that the sailors then refused orders to sail again once the ship next went to port Of course the other part of this propaganda is that the Russian plane disabled all the ship electronics making it helpless and then once it wanted to the plane released it's hold of said electronics and allowed the crew to have control of the ship again.
A propaganda campaign started by a publication that was picked up by bloggers after the jet flew past the ship at a safe distance. The approach was not polite and was an irritant but that is all.
Nothing but fantasy.
umm
Is that like the make believe story that the US did not support the Ukrainian Nazis in the Maidan in February 2014 and does not still support the Uke Nazis today?
If the Argentinians had had some shkvals or enough other rockets needed to sink British Navy ships in the war for the Falklands, they probably would have won the war. But alas they did not. They were ill-equipped for such a task. That was over 30 years ago. The rockets today should have an even easier task of sinking ships. Ships, like the tanks, are almost absolute, unless of course you are fighting against 3rd world countries or low-intensity conflicts, which is what this century will probably be all about.
Good to see Chinese presence in Europe though. Russia and China are intertwining their armies just like they are doing the same with their economies (I think I read somewhere that Russian and Chinese Navies have a joint command in the Far East). Good thing. That ensures no Oceania player will ever gather enough courage to threaaten Eurasia ever again. The time of Oceania dominion is coming to en end, it has already come that is.
If ships "are almost absolute (obsolete?)" obviously China and Russia didn't get the message, since they are building lots of them.
I don't suppose they or the US military could have a better understanding of warfare than you do. Nah, not possible.
The US Navy would build more ships than they already have, but they don't have any more room to dock them.
A lot of he $18 trillion of the national debt went to build ships. The US has 20 aircraft carrriers. Floating graveyards for sailors and air planes. The White Elephants of navies.
(the cost of a carrier group is $7 million a day. $70 milllion for a week and a half. $700 million for a little over 3 months. The Penatgon can't keep borrowing money to have 4 or 5 groups out in troubled waters. I predict the Pentagon will soon start a program of printing their own fiat. Or they may just take printing away from the Fed. Prolly by beating the Fed at a cutthroat game of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' )
quite interesting bid the soldier .
When it's not too demented, life can be interesing.
The Germans at the beginning of WWII were very arrogant. Their citizens scoffed at the idea they could be conquered. Yes Sir, they said,,, Mess with us and we'll kick your ass. They had the most powerful army and air force in the world. Their navy although 2nd to Britain was admirable and capable. Nothing could stop them from liberating their lost acreage from WWI and spreading fascism around the globe. At the end of the war Germans were very humble. Their cities, infrastructure and production in shambles. Japan was the same,,, arrogant, obnoxious, and aggressive. It's cities, infrastructure and production was also destroyed, Not only that they were the lucky recipients of the first A-Bombing of two of their cities.
Now look at them all. Arrogant, obnoxious, aggressive once again. Of them all, one would think Japan would have learned the lesson of under estimating the enemies you make, But, no, they are once again arming back up at the behest of their conqueror.
Every site I go to I read arrogant posts claiming "We'll kick their ass". Only this time the enemies we are making can shoot back with the same or maybe better hardware. This time their arrogance may get them and their loved ones incinerated,,, but does that slow them down,,, noooo, they just scream and howl louder. We're the strongest, We are better, We are the chosen ones, We are e x c e p t i o n a l......
Do it our way or it's the highway, we say.
We never learn.....
"Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall." - Proverbs 16:18
Pride comes before the fall!
Great quote. And so truthful.
And of course there goes Obama chasing after them "NO! NO! NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!"
Seems the US breaks out that big shit stick and stirs the pot at every chance possible, just chomping at the bit for someone to fuck up as justification for hell on earth.
I don't really buy into the "going as planned, all in cahoots" bs, these fucking dimwits couldn't organize a gdm game of bingo.
There are a few subs in the Atlantic and Pacific ready to cut the fiber optic internet cables . Thate will fuck up the Muricans
Keep seeking truth, LOL you won't find it in the Buybull. perhaps some partial truths.
They'll blow the chunnel too.
That'll fuck up the Brits
Oh My, Lions and Tigers and Bears! No one is allowed anywhere on the high seas except the United States Navy.....otherwise it must be considered a threat and we have to double defense spending.

When the Chinese warships dock in Sevastopol our MSM will be utterly silent. This is a Russian port and the Crimea is Russian, however the West considers it to be Ukrainain.
It will be very interesting to see how our MSM rides around this one!!
