Originally posted by Minskaya View PostTurkey has granted permission for two waiting US warships to enter the Black Sea. They will remain off the coast of Sochi for the duration of the XXII Olympic Winter Games. The warships are equipped with helicopters should it become necessary to evacuate American athletes or citizens in an emergency.
Originally posted by Minskaya View PostThe USAF also has C-17 transport craft in Germany (two hour flight) reserved for this purpose. Whether such assets would be granted permission to land on Russian territory is an unknown at this point.“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

Originally posted by TopHatter View PostIdeally, one or both of those ships would be an LHD/LHA class. Surely if the Russians can sail Kuznetsov and Kiev class carriers through the Bosphorus, then the US should be able to send a couple of helicopter carriers in for contingency rescue operations.
That's the question mark: Will Russia go full-on Kursk head-up-their-ass and insist for days that there's no problem while people die by the dozen?No such thing as a good tax - Churchill

Russian forces are way above what they used to be.It's not that they lost their qualities,it's that they added Western stuff wrt TTP's.Those who know don't speak

Terrorism is a global threat, there is no absolute protection against that. Any global meeting, global public event becomes natural target for terrorists. But that doesn't mean we should give up living normal life. And arrogance is not good here, everyone is in danger in the modern World, and noone knows where the terrorists can hit next time and who will suffer then. As for the Sochi Olympics, I’m as much sure that’ll be okey, as it can be.

Sorry, cant shake the feeling that if we give Russia anti-IED tech, then within the year counters to that tech will be in insurgent hands killing more Americans. Putin v Jihadis... I feel like rooting for and against both sides at the same time.

You seem very confused. Let me simplify your life.Russia is fighting the Jihadis for the simple reason they're a possible mortal threat to her.Russians share our most important values and characteristics with the West,them being European and Christian the most important.In this matter,everything else is of secondary importance at best.
Everybody can disagree or confront Russia on plenty other issues.And everybody does.Those who know don't speak
