Russian Black Sea Fleet Warship Fired Warning Shots Near British Destroyer

Via ZeroHedge

Tensions are heating up between NATO and Russia in the Black Sea Region as a Russian patrol ship fired warning shots near HMS Defender, a British Royal Navy destroyer, for violating Russia’s maritime borders, according to Russian state-owned news agency RIA, citing the Russian Ministry of Defence.

At 1152 local time, HMS Defender sailed across “the Russian border and entered the territorial sea at Cape Fiolent for three kilometers,” RIA said.

Around 1206 and 1208, the Russian patrol ship fired warning shots. After nine minutes, Sukhoi Su-24 attack aircraft performed warning bombing maneuvers towards the British vessels.

This may be the approx. location of the incident area

According to Bloomberg, a Su-24 attack plane “dropped 4 bombs in ship’s path.”

At 1233, the British warship exited the maritime borders of Russia.

Russian Senator Sergei Tsekov told RIA the warship’s movements were a “flagrant violation of international norms.”

Trump & Putin are in agreement.
There’s a reason General Flynn’s brother is in charge of the Pacific fleet.

Well, we might soon see how the US/UK will fair in battle against a non-inbred camel riding opponent and see their resolve when 10,000 die in a day and not in a 10 years.

Blatant provocation by Britain. What are they even doing poking around Russian terratorial waters ? Somebody should remind them they no longer rule the waves.

Similarly, Auntie is positive the Admiralty would be quite entertained if the Russkies were sailing a flotilla of guided missile cruisers within three klicks of the Isle of Wight* .

*Fucking rayssis British need to change the name of that island, tout suite, to St George Floyd or Diane Abbot Land or something.

Brilliant suggestion. “The Isle of Floyd” would capture a bit of tradition, while at last embracing the Wave of the Future.

Take a close look at the Black Sea map above. Then ask yourself … Why the fuck are we (NATO) there???

Take a close look at the Black Sea map above. That is NO DIFFERENT than if the Russians sent their warships to The Great Lakes! Fact!!

“ Because Obama said bring me 10 aircraft carriers and we’re going to convert them to NATO and the admiral said “go fuck yourself.” They took them back out. That was the beginning of a military coup. It got worse from there as to what Bill and Hillary and Obama got into. It got much much worse. It went downhill to the point where Putin told Trump to run for president. He said to Trump “because Obama is going to put a New World Order with himself and Hillary. So somebody is going to have to take America back or you’re going to lose your country and you’re going to lose your hotels.”
These people are just about radical “fairness.” You know, New World Order style, spread the money around.
Well it got to the point where Trump got into office and he and his team noticed that there was $7 trillion dollars missing. Obama put us $11 trillion in debt, but Trump couldn’t find $7 trillion of it. They didn’t build any bridges, any airports, no buildings, no pipeline, didn’t build a fucking thing. Well, where’s the $7 trillion? Trump started finding hints and things from the CIA, FBI, Interpol, etc.
Obama was vicious and knew that if he got Hillary got in, everything would be okay. But what Trump did is he put in Blackwater, Seal Teams 2, 4, 6, he also brought in Delta Force, some CIA spoofs, black operative guys, and that’s his security. He doesn’t have the Secret Service. He’s got my guys. Nasty fuckers. They play to win, all the time, every time, every game. They don’t necessarily give a shit as long as the good guys survive and their mission is carried out.
Okay, so what Obama got into was flagrant and huge abuse of power. Trump got wind of it and just before Christmas he signed an executive order. Meanwhile, everyone’s asleep, they’re looking at this Russian-collusion propaganda. Trump signed an executive order and nobody caught on for 30 days. The executive order deals with a national security threat.
Now if you don’t know the UCNGA Military Law and Tribunal Law, it probably doesn’t mean a thing to you. You might say, “So what? He’s dealing with a national security threat.” With one more signature and without Congress’ approval, he can take us to martial law. Anytime from December 21st 2017 through December 21st 2019. Anytime he wants.
With the national security threat, he froze the assets of about 9,000 people, companies, and corporations. We’re talking about the pedophile rings, the Deep State, the Dark State, the 4,000 companies that Obama bought in Africa with the taxpayers’ $7 trillion. Trump froze all the assets, all the titles worldwide.”
Right now, if you had 10,000 rats on fire, you’d have the Democratic Party. They don’t know where to go. They’re lashing out in every direction. They don’t know what to do. My concern right now, is I wish that somebody would start a citizens’ party. The Democratic Party no longer exists.
They have Hillary on 27 counts of treason. Putin bought the uranium so it didn’t go to North Korea and Pakistan and Afghanistan and on into Iran. We have the data, we have the facts, we have GTMO being built. There’s apt to be a 90-day window where things get tough for the average citizen. There’s a lot cooking.
I don’t know if I ever expressed this to you. The Alliance has a checkmate. Look at who Trump put in office. Five generals and two admirals. I wonder how he’s going to rule… military tribunal. The military will get our country back. It will collapse the Treasury and it will collapse the Federal Reserve.”

I’m having trouble seeing the UK or the US on this map of the Black Sea. I see Russia perfectly well. I was always pretty good with geography but I just can’t seem to find any part of either of those two meddling nations anywhere near this body of water. Can someone help??? s/

This unpleasantness would never have happened if the US Navy had gotten their new Sebastopol operations center as scheduled, and put out for bids in 2014.

Like Chuck Schumer, or the Terminator, the US Government never stops until it is destroyed.

Goddamn if this doesn’t sound like Dementia* …….

He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me? [well, NOT really!]

Nowhere man please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command
He’s as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see

I read the wiki background on Sec of Defense Austin and he is a big fat nothing burger who was greased to the top for just the job he is doing now: destroying the US Military from inside. Enjoy Bro Nathanael at Brighteon.com: “Defense Chief Touts Pride Filth”. Come out of her my people because she is doomed to Hell. PS: TPTB were obviously hoping Putin would sink that UK ship…

Russians doing practice sinking of a carrier off the Hawaii coast, and US / UK maneuvers in the Black Sea. Plane incursions and intercepts almost daily. Trying to prove who has the biggest dick never works out well. Soon Russia will start to use the list of Cyber targets Biden gave him.
