Multiple Russian military aircraft came close to a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Black Sea on Feb. 10, incidents considered "unsafe and unprofessional," a U.S. official said on Tuesday. They buzzed the ship three times, so it was not an accidental encounter but a taunting threat.

A Russian intelligence ship, capable of cutting undersea communications cables and other sensors, has been spotted by the U.S. military off the coast of Kings Bay, Ga., home to the U.S. Navy’s East Coast ballistic missile submarine fleet.   

"The Russian Federation remains in violation of its INF Treaty obligations not to possess, produce or flight-test a ground-launched cruise missile with a range capability of 500 to 5,500 kilometers, or to possess or produce launchers of such missiles," acting spokesman Mark Toner said in a statement issued Tuesday.

Russia-backed separatist greatly increase attacks in the Crimea.

Putin threatens Belarus.

What does Trump have to say about these violations and saber-rattling? Nothing! Do the Russians have something on him as suggested by multiple Intelligence agencies worldwide. Or maybe I missed his comments on these matters. Please enlighten me as to how Trump addressed these egregious Russian no-nos. Anything. If nothing, why nothing?

Trump thinks Putin is very smart and Trump respects him - and wishes he could be just like him here. Trump obviously doesn't see anything wrong here - just like he didn't see Flynn illegally speak on his behalf.

Dr.Dross

The whole Russian connection with Trump is bizarre and troubling. But this thread is going nowhere. And the absence by the Right of any comments is a telling indictment of inactivity by our Semi-Elect President.

Trump lost his cards a long time ago. He just likes making you think he has some and knows where they are. That's why he doesn't show 'em - he ain't gots any.

You know this because.....? It is your opinion?

The lunatic Dr. wants indesputable facts. Remember that!

Dr.Dross

Lol. I was not a huge fan of Obama, especially with his drone warfare; he should be tried internationally for war crimes. Four major developments with Russia and he says not a word but will get on twitter to announce how great he is in international diplomacy and that any connection to Russia is "fake news"? Really? Any president would responded to these threats immediately.

As to your naive question, "Is any of this BS even true?": Over the last few weeks these stories has been carried by every major and minor media outlet. I do not need to prove it; you need to watch the news.

You may not be aware and do not take my word on it ( I know you won't ) but adversary military units often play games , probe on a routine basis , all sides do it . Please explain why the leader of the free world is obligated to provide the world his response before hand .. OK smart guy ,, can not wait for your learned , inspiring response .. WELL !!!!!!!

I rarely watch TV. Only local news, and weather.

Could it be that Trump is all over this, but keeping quiet? Do you know? I damn sure dont!

He isn't like anyone who has ever held that office, yet you won't give him a chance.

I'll bet you folding money that you would be singing a different tune if he had run, and won as a Democrat. You, and you're friend here both!!

Facts ,, We don need no stinkin facts !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFwprS_L6tg

Dr.Dross

It is not "before hand": Threatening action was taken by Russia, supposedly an enemy of the US, in three incidents, one of which violated an important treaty that has dire consequences. Say nothing? That is not a game. That is a direct threat to peace. Please quote our fearless leader on his indignation or objection to this action. Sorry. What? Is you mike turned off? Please repeat how Trump responded to this outrageous breach of a treaty. Hello? Are you there?

Then there is the increase hostility by Russian-backed separatists in the Crimea hours after the president and Putin talked. But no warnings of sanctions against this action. Not a word. This is big news because there had been a peace treaty that was violated. Trump had noting to say but was on twitter that night to say how great he was. Sad.

Dr.Dross

That you are a staunch and unmovable ideologue, incapable, it seems, to even question Trump or find any fault no matter what he does, does not mean that those who do question and find fault with Trump are ideologues or just butt-hurt Democrats pissed about the election. Trump is scum, pure and simple. He is not a good president and is damaging America. If you keep seeing everyone automatically as an enemy and liar that has some criticism of Trump, you are thoroughly deluding yourself. Knee-jerk attacks, like yours, prove ignorance. A sane and thinking person would automatically ask, "Really? He hasn't said anything against all those things? Not a word? Why not? Breaches of security, violating a treaty, imperialist attacks on the free nation of Crimea and not a word? I have to say again, why not?"

He has only been President for a month.

Looks like you are freaking out to me.
Give it time. Maybe you will melt into a psychic wad of goo.
Your insults don't work with me.....Dumbass!!!

Dr.Dross

I never insulted you, archie; observations. But by now you have found out everything I said is true and have no response. Which I expected, yet not just from you but all your blind and ignorant friends that can only insult when confronted with indisputable facts. Very, very pathetic. Childish. Sad.

Damn you are dense ,, Perhaps a full nuclear strike is in order !!!!!!!
