Uk shows off Navy in far off places, tweaks the tail of the Bear and does it with NATO allies
Proud Russians not asleep react to defend the Motherland and stop the devious British repeating 1854
Anyone would think there are elections soon.... ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

In any case jingoist populism for the neo-liberal elite is not my favorite mean of conducting state affairs.
BZ; 100% behind the National and RN intentions, but am I the only one who thought Defender seemed awfully small, and awfully lonely on that big flat sea?

heres a pic of said vessel type for reference:
Looks like I'm not the only one having brain trouble this morning - Main Building aussi.
Can somebody tell me where the major British International Trade Route in the Black Sea that the Type 45 action was ostensibly maintaining/ defending . . . . or lets be more specific, the Trade Route to a Southern Ukranian port that was being protected ? Where was the merchantman that was being protected ?
What half-wit in MB thought doing an Italian Cruise liner captain emulation ("Hey girls, look, no hands") off the Crimean coast was going to be of any long-term benefit for the UK...

Now I remember. It was Neville Chamberlain on Germany's annexation of the Sudetenland in a radio broadcast on 7 September 1938:
"How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a far away country between people of whom we know nothing."

I guess the principle of freedom of navigation just doesn't mean anything to some people.
Whichever applies, I make a point of not feeding any of them on Fridays.
You brave lads of the RN and RAF are really just unwitting tools in the destruction of your own nation and all its great values and traditions
.Russia is no longer Commie - the Cold War is over. A new type of war has begun, and as it happens, Russia has taken on the mantle of preserving white western Christian civilization. What’s supposed to be YOUR JOB.
The West has become a disgusting morass of neo Marxist, globohomo anti white, anti Christian hysteria.
Putin is hated because of his refusal to take a knee to such debauchery. I’m fully behind him.
Meanwhile Britain and the US suck up to murderers and terrorists like MBS and SA.
It’s clear as day that all the hate and provocation is coming from your direction alone.
oh, and let’s not forget, the MIC needs a boogeyman to keep the shekels rolling in.
Your wages depend on it!

I agree one hundred percent with what you just said Roo, right up to the word are…
Russia's show is aimed at their domestic public. No need to get excited.
He sounds a bit like the vodka tasting has begun?
And now they have Covid peaking at home.
