Mr Putin has sent Russia's only aircraft carrier alongside an arsenal of heavily armed ships including a battlecruiser and two destroyers.

The fleet, which is making its way into British waters, is carrying fighter bombers that are likely to reinforce a final assault on the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo in two weeks.

A senior NATO diplomat said: "They are deploying all of the Northern fleet and much of the Baltic fleet in the largest surface deployment since the end of the Cold War.

"This is not a friendly port call. In two weeks, we will see a crescendo of air attacks on Aleppo as part of Russia's strategy to declare victory there."

The Royal Navy is monitoring the warships including the sole Russian aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov - the warship is thought to be carrying 15 Su-33 and MIG-29K jet fighters and over 10 Ka-52K, Ka-27 and -31 helicopters to support the Syrian army in eastern Aleppo - the nuclear powered Kirov Class Battlecruiser, Pyotr Velikiy and two Udaloy Class Destroyers, Vice Admiral Kulakov and Severomorsk which passed through Bergen, Norway today.

Should arrive right around Nov 7th
 
S'all right, Bammy has more flexibility now.
 
Bomma will draw a line in the Atlantic.
I mean, the Mediterranean.
I mean Latakia.

Oh. Time's up or Bomma would have worded a really terse email that the Russkies would have read in real time.
 
I want to put this off to Obama being incompetent. I don't really want to think that he knows the anti Assad "freedom fighters" are ISIS.
 
Brits are getting jumpy

Of course he knows they're ISIS. He and Hillary created and armed them.

France agrees


French President Hollande Blames Obama for the Rise of ISIS

Francois Hollande admitted there are ‘too many immigrants’ in France and suggested Barack Obama was to blame for the rise of ISIS

French President Francois Hollande has suggested the rise of ISIS can be attributed to Barack Obama not backing his calls for Syrian air strikes back in 2013.

Since then, France has been victim to a string of savage Islamic State terror attacks and the President insisted too many migrants were being let into the country. 'I don't know what would have happened if we had carried out strikes. What I can say is that we did not carry out strikes, and there's Daesh,' he said, referring to ISIS by its Arabic acronym.

Donald Trump approves this message.

if it kills off the parasite of ISIS, I'd not mind if it was a Mexican cartel.
of course, we know they're armed.

Aside from correctly poiting out that Putin is a better leader than O, how is Trump connected in any way to Putin?

i wonder if those ships are being powered by the uranium Hillary sold them?

Unpossible. Bammy implemented gun control measures that forced the drug lords and their armies to turn in their weapons, so now they are completely disarmed.

Anybody saying otherwise is a racist.
 
Russia is going to have none of the New World Order liberal ******* and open boarders.

Neither is China.

And while the West panders to the global scientists and restricts energy consumption, cheap energy will power their economies and build their military. While socialism and government handouts and immigration policies choke the entitlements programs, Russia and China will continue to produce and manufacture goods.

We won the cold war based on our economic output and energy use. In 20 years, rolls could easily be reversed if we continue down the liberal path.

20 years?!?! You wish it was that long.
 
We need to hold our noses and align with Russia until we can solve the radical Muslim problem. They might be looking out for their own interests as well but they definitely see the problem with Islamic terror. They are trying to fight and expand their reach at the same time. We would be better off working with them and trying to reign them in as a friend than to risk fighting with them instead of the real enemy looking to bring us all under their caliphate.

The only think Obama will do is demand our best ally in the region, Isreal shares more fresh water from the Sea of Galilee with neighbors who hate us.
 
Amazing how awestruck Spike and others are by the Russian military.

Belching smoke through the Channel, Russian aircraft carrier so unreliable it sails with its own breakdown tug

The ageing Russian aircraft carrier that sailed through the English Channel escorted by the Royal Navy has been plagued by years of technical problems and is accompanied everywhere by a tug in case it breaks down.

The plumbing is so bad on the 55,000 ton Admiral Kuznetsov that many of its toilets cannot be used, while it has had repeated problems with its power and a string of accidents, naval experts said.

The Soviet-era warship is leading a flotilla of eight naval vessels to the eastern Mediterranean, where its aircraft are expected to join a renewed assault on the rebel-held city of Aleppo.
 
I don't understand how Trump lets Hillary even bring up Russia without completely slamming her on what a complete failure she's been. Things haven't been this bad with Russia since the Cold War.

Probably because Spike, like the rest of us who have served in the military, knows that an aircraft carrier is a threat due to the planes it caries. If it can launch and recover warplanes it's a formidable weapons system. The battle cruiser and the destroyers escorting it are all armed with anti ship and land attack cruise missiles. Ivan doesn't have the capabilities he once had but he is still a competent and dangerous foe if he wants to be.

As if Libtards know anything about serving their country.
