I'm not sure if the Russian Navy is really capable of "massing" anywhere.

well, except maybe in a "critical" sense

"Usually... when there is a change of power in any country, and even more so in a superpower such as the United States, some changes occur," said Putin.

um...ok

at least even though there has been a change of power in russia, no change has occured

Engage the caterpillar drive.

They used to be the largest navy in the world, in the 80's. I understand a whole lot of neglect went on after that, but I'm sure they still have a crapload of ships.

We have single ships that could sink the Russian "navy".

The Russians have been getting pretty mouthy lately.

I still miss the cold war though. The Russians were much more fun than Islamic fundamentalists.

The one on the bottom right of that image does not fear the blade, has tasted blood.

At least one could hide under your desk if need be. Now with those terrorists no desk will protect you.

And the movies were better.

How dare the Russians send troops halfway around the world close to our border where they don't belong. We (lovers of liberty and defenders of freedom) would NEVER EVER do such a thing. Nor would we convince a country close to their border to put up a missile system pointed right at them. No sirree. Not us.

Vodka drinking chess players versus beer drinking poker players.
Good times.

The real damage comes from the tanks rolling up through Mexico.

/obscure?

I propose a Girls of the IDF / Russian military picture fight!

I trust anything Pooty-Poot says.

After all, some guy looked in his eyes or something.

That's better

Lovers of Liberty and Defenders of Freedom are exempt from international laws meant to limit the powers of Evil Aggressors.

U.S. and Russia should be allies. They're not democratic and they aren't going to be for a long time, but they could be less corrupt and more stable and less militarily threatening.

I read that as "Palin" instead of "Putin." I was getting excited at the prospects of Palin in charge of a navy.

4 ADCAPs will take care of everything that the Russians have in the Carribean

Did they loose another submarine?

Why are these people farking with us? Do they want karate?

"And what of the reports of the Rebel Fleet massing near Sullust?"

It's a good thing the Founding Fathers checked that box when they registered the country.

noinnucP: Did they loose another submarine submarrine?

Sorry. Pet peeve.

one ship through the Panama canal=massing ?!

Just because it can steam around doesn't mean it's worth a damn. After rotting on the pier for the better part of two decades, the Russian Navy isn't the threat it used to be. Hell, the Royal Navy is more capable than the Russian Navy at this point. The USN could probably sink everything the Russians have with a dozen subs since Russia's sonar operators haven't had proper training in so long.

But that's besides the point. If Russia and the US ever go at it, we might as well bundle up for the long nuclear winter. So if Russia wants to piddle around South America, we might as well wish them good luck. Maybe they'll accidentally catch some drug runners or something.

However, many of them are frozen to the bottom of their respective harbors, and others are too filled with holes to actually leave dock.

Isn't this precisely the kind of thing the Russians would want Americans to think? We have enough problems fighting countries the size of Iraq/Afghanistan. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

He is rearing his head !

Where is Palin when we need her !?

I guess you guys missed the rusting decay of the best of the Russian Navy.

is that like 'realize' versus 'realise'? where did the extra 'r' come from?

They're taking it in turns to poke everyone with a stick and see who flinches. Then the knives come out.

It might be best just to deploy the nukes now.

Now That's What I Call a Taco!: We have enough problems fighting countries the size of Iraq/Afghanistan. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

The US military is great at killing people and breaking their shiat. It is not very good at holding ground for a long period of time.

The USN, coincidentally, does not operate on the ground, and Russia has a lot of breakable shiat.

We've held Europe for about 50 years now.

The one in blue looks like a man.

Naive putty in Putin's hands.

"I defer pending advice from my cabinet members with expertise in these matters."

Expect to hear that line about 1,000,000,000,000 times in the coming administration.
Followed up with non-action, of course.

kmmontandon: I'm not sure if the Russian Navy is really capable of "massing" anywhere.

The bottom of their harbors would be a safe bet. What they couldn't maintain, they tried to sell, what they couldn't sell, they basically abandoned. The Russian navy is still quite large on paper; but much of their navy will never set sail again.

Seconded
