| Russia objects to US warship in Black Sea |
| 2011-06-13 |
| Tusk, tusk... MOSCOW – Russia is voicing concern about a U.S. warship now just off its shores in the Black Sea. The guided-missile cruiser USS Monterey, which is taking part in annual joint military exercises conducted by NATO and Ukraine, is an integral part of U.S. plans to create a missile shield in Europe, which Russia opposes. Russia's Foreign Ministry issued a statement Sunday saying Russia "has repeatedly stressed that we will not leave unnoticed any elements of U.S. strategic infrastructure in the immediate vicinity of our borders and will consider any such steps as a threat to our security." Sorta like when Russian ships paid visits to Havana, eh |

| #3 US entered the Black Sea during the cold war with cruisers/big DDG pretty regularly. Just dont ask what those Army troops and "huts" with Antennas were doing on board from time to time. |
