Russia shows NATO that 2 can play this game of naval provocations!

Greetings,

Note: It looks as though America and NATO can dish out threats and provocation on a large scale, but cannot take it in return. They can have deployments of ships, weapons, troops, warplanes, and equipment close to others ,but when it is done in return they cry like little sissies.

As long  as America could fly her bombers and warplanes provoking Russia without challenge it was o.k.. But now that Russia has decided to do the same in return it is all of a sudden a great threat and provocation.

As long as NATO could go into the Black Sea violating the treaty with Turkey on the deployment of ships and commence with war games near Russia, it was o.k.. Now that Russia is returning the favor, it has somehow become highly provocative.

The crews held a series of survival exercises in case of flooding or fire, as well as anti-submarine training.

After the training, in one of the world’s most crowded waterways, where the squadron was constantly shadowed by the British Navy’s HMS Tyne offshore patrol vessel, the task force went further and anchored in the international waters of the Seine Bay to wait out a storm.

Both Britain’s and France’s navies confirmed the location of the Russian ships, but denied that the Russians were doing any training.

“They are not holding exercises. They’re just waiting in a zone where they are allowed to be several times a year,” the French Navy’s information service said as cited by Reuters…more here
