US Warship Given Permission To Cross Bosphorus, Enter Black Sea

Caution: Nervousness Alert (ZeroHedge)
Posted by:Uncle Phester

#3  During the Cold War, US Navy (6th fleet) entry was almost routine. Hell, I was even on one of those tin cans (80's), with our Army SIGINT huts strapped to the deck as an experiment one time. About a week. Best damn on-duty chow I had while "deployed", its where I got introduced to "Mid Rats", learned which color bug juice the navy allegedly had saltpeter in (both colors!), and ate a sandwich named after a part of an equine animal. Also learned which side was leeward.

And from reading the comments, Zerohedge is populated by morons.

#2  You don't need a CVN to cross the Bosphorus, just launch the All Mighty Lawn Darts and they can fly right up the middle.....

Besides you don't want a capital ship in those tight waters, they need room to play....

#1  Its NOT the Bush 41 CVN.

OTOH FREEREPUBLIC > [Town Hall] THE WEST NEEDS RUSSIA'S HELP MORE THAN IT REALIZES.

And IMO vice-versa, vee the Soon-to-be-Nuclear Euro + Global Jihad.

Again, Islamist-pressured = Neo-Ottoman Turkey, Rising Iran AKA OWG Co-Superpower [Nuclear?] Iran, + Count Dooku's Hard Boyz in the Caucasus.

The JudeoChristian US-West has an opportunity in the Black Sea region includ Crimea to fortify, entrench, + preemptively contain the [Nuke-WMD?] Euro-Jihad + other before it fully begins.

As ex-KGB, IMO Vlad is aware of the above - THE MAHA-RUSHIAN QUESTION DU JOUR IS, DOES THE BAMMER???

* FYI FREEREPUBLIC > [Guardian.UK] TATAR SUNNI MUSLIMS POSE A THREAT TO RUSSIA'S OCCUPATION OF UKRAINE.
