Russian Warship, The Admiral Grigorovich, is Heading Towards US Destroyers Off Syrian Coast

It’s probably nothing, but it might be something.

Russia sent the Admiral Grigorovich RFS-494 from the Black Sea heading towards the direction of the USS Porter and USS Ross off the coast of Syria.

I read a report saying that one of the two American destroyers left the area to rearm.

The state of the art Russian ship, a frigate, was built in 2010, armed with Kalibir and 3m55 Oniks cruise and anti-ship missiles, a 100mm A-190 Arsenal naval gun, RBU-6000 rocket launcher and 533mm torpedo tubes.

    Somewhat serious question… if we “fix” Syria, will the refugee horde go back to their lands?

      Yes. However, God himself can not fix Syria, or any other of these places in the Middle East with warring factions all over the place, making life hell for those who don’t want to be at war all the time.

        God is a very questionable entity to be using. But I suppose if you find life too precarious and scary, a God might be useful. And life is precarious and there is no risk-free endevour.

        This is a typical lie that has been repeated so often that most Americans believe it.

        Before we invaded Iraq, Syria had repression by our standards, but zero strife. We broke it by destabilizing Iraq and then Syria itself. You talk as if we are the potential cure …we are the bad actors …not the freakin’ cure!

        All “God himself” has to do is to keep us from invading countries about which we know nothing …all in order to fulfill neocon wet dreams.

        Now, I would not want to have lived in Syria if I were a Sunni, but for the Christians and Alawites, life was good. And by the standards of the region, life was pretty good for all.

          Well, if God himself can keep the U.S. from invading countries that we know nothing about, I hope he will hurry up and do it.

    Dude, Trump playing 10D chess. The media universally praising him like he is the messiah after what were symbolic strikes and a slap on the wrist to Assad and Russia. This gives him a chance to reset public opinion and especially helps distance him from all the Russian stories.

    This was pure genius. He can get tax reform and infrastructure passed more easily now. Im more bullish on stocks now than I was before.

      Reset public opinion? Trump lost his entire base that voted him in. That’s not exactly genius….that’s defeat and submission to zionists’ agenda.

        His entire base accounted for a <40% popularity rating. You arent going to get shit done in Washington with that level of popularity. Yeah, maybe he sacrificed some support in his base but this will help him reach out to centrists and independents which makes the pie bigger.

        So he alienated half his base but picked up massive support from “her” base. Zero-sum.

    “In a surprise move the Russian warship is bombing the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa and Assad has been placed under arrest… We can now confirm that Syria has been jointly claimed by The United States and Russia and… is this right?… will be a ‘sanctuary city’ for illegals currently in the US and the Economic Migrants in Europe… I mean…. Wow….”

      No one knows whether Trump colluded with Russia or not, until it is investigated fully. This incident does not prove he didn’t. It sure seems like everyone around him, including President Kushner, has been meeting with Russians a lot– and not reporting having done so when asked by Congress or when applying for their security clearances.

        Trump turns on any of his previously huge supporters on a dime, see: Chris Christie, Flynn, Carson, Bannon, Nunes… Whoever and whatever is most useful to him at any moment is his MO.

          When someone consistently insults others and you call him on it, that is not doing the insult. That is being in touch iwth reality and stating what is going on.

    Since Russia was warned ahead of time of the strike on Syria, they certainly must have told their friend Assad. I am reading that Syria is already launching air strikes from the base hit by Trump yesterday. Much ado about nothing. Trump pretending to do something to attack Assad. Assad and Putin pretending to be offended. Trump pretending not to be in bed with Putin. If you are looking for a False Flag, this here is more like that than Syria’s chemical attack was.

      If it’s a false flag Russia is behind it. Russia and Trump together

        Yes, true news is always considered to be fake news, by the Breitbart lovers on this site. The article I cited was from a mainstream news site that usually gets the story true and right, not from Drudge or Alex Jones or any of the other lie-a-minute sites preferred and accepted as truth by the Right Wing fake news lovers at this site. So I am sure they will not believe this unless Alex Jones says it’s so. But I am talking about the real world here.

          I WORK IN THE MEDIA
          I WORK IN ONE OF THE MAINSTREAM OUTLETS
          (kind of ironic no?)

          There are tons of things broadcast as the state-line or bigpharma-line or media-pushed or not pushed. We’re under AP/Reuters, information originates and is pushed, to everyone. I’ve taken your false insults but hopefully you see this and realize I have more credentials regarding any of this Than you

          what prompted this was the mainstream source comment. mainstream sources don’t speculate in the way you condemn others but that doesn’t mean you aren’t getting 85% truth, 75% truth, 63% truth

            And there is no reason to believe that someone who works at a mainstream media outlet like you do, can not also be a conspiracy theory junkie. Of course you can be. And you are.

            Most people seem to prefer all lies to mostly truth. I guess lies are more fun or soothing or simple to understand or something.

    There have been some disagreements on this site in the last year but I see now what ties us all together. Good Americans on here who actually believe in “America First.” Trumps foreign “policy” was my favorite part about him. We could build a wall around all of Alaska for what we’ve paid in wars in the last 15 years. And for every $85M we spend on rockets, prepare to spend five times that on diplomacy and aid as we remove Assad.

    Sickened by the fact that I haven’t heard any real critisism over the missile launches in the media. Fucking crazy times – it’s gonna be Noam Chompsky and Fly on the same side here. Media once again ignoring a lot of people’s opinion.

    The best way to get a mud puddle to clear is to stop fucking stirring it!

    Ps agreed ironman can be a true poet when he’s got the right stuff.
